Bruce Durham is a mighty voice for sword-and-sorcery, and some day soon the wider publishing world is going to realize what they've been missing. Few writers draft action scenes with the same cracking verve; few of them can. -  Howard Andrew Jones - Managing Editor, Black Gate Magazine

Everything about Bruce, from his love of (Robert E.) Howard to his masterful and direct story-telling, made him a natural fit for me. I so like his work... He's the real deal. - Janet Morris - author of The Sacred Band and High Couch of Silistra.

What’s New -  May 2013

I sold a Dalacroy and Moirya tale to an upcoming anthology titled Heroes All, from new publisher Fantom Enterprises. It’s been a while since this couple has seen print, so it’s nice to have them back in action. The story is called Standard Diplomacy, and should appear Spring of  2014.

On the flipside, a story I figured had an excellent chance of landing in a Time Travel reprint anthology was rejected. Disappointing, as it originally appeared in the now defunct Paradox: The Magazine of Historical & Speculative History, which was no mean publication. Oh well, their loss.

Sadly, author Andrew J. Offutt passed away on April 30, 2013. In his prolific career he wrote several superior Conan and Cormac Mac Art pastiches as well as creating the character Hanse Shadowspawn for the Thieve’s World series. Janet Morris likened Hanse as Andrew’s alter-ego. I had the privilege of sharing a Table of Contents with Andrew in Rogue Blades Entertainment’s Rage of the Behemoth.

What’s New -  April 2013

Not much to report this month. I have seven stories out in circulation, so hopefully some good news will come out of it.

Jason M. Waltz of Rogue Blades Entertainment has released an excellent new book titled Writing Fantasy Heroes: Powerful Advice From the Pros. In it he has gathered some of the leading authors in the field, each bringing their own perspective on what defines a hero. Among those contributing to this volume are Janet and Chris Morris, Glen Cook, Orson Scott Card, Cecelia Holland, C. L. Werner and more, including an introduction by Steven Erikson. If you are an author wanting to take their craft to the next level, or merely wish to read how these established writers work, then this book is definitely for you.

What’s New -  March 2013

The podcast of Anezka is now live at Tales of Old. Give it a listen. It’s excellent.

The Blog That Time Forgot, an excellent site for all things fantasy and S&S, reviewed some works I have appeared in, as well as my graphic novel The Marsh God, based on the short story of the same name.
