A good guy hammered by bad luck and a bad health system. If you can help, thank you.

Haven't been around all that much due to, in part, real life (don't try to move furniture at 79; only your brain thinks it's 25; the rest of your body disagrees), as well as some other commitments. Throw in the usual old guy resistance to change and there you have it.

I will attempt to do better.

I am very pleased to share the news that the Empire Series co-authored by Janny Wurts and myself will be translated into,Arabic. Al Amal Al Kubra in Saudi Arabia has secured the world language rights so this is a huge entry into that market. No details beyond that.

Coming soon: Unbroken: New Tales By Masters of Fantasy An anthology of SF&F stories from Brandon Sanderson & Peter Orullian, Christopher Paolini, Seanan McGuire, Matt Dinniman and many more.

My collaborator Janny Wurts has a story in a new collection published for a great cause. Details in the link,

We are thrilled to reveal that the next series featured on our Fantasy Sub is The Riftwar Saga by @refeist.bsky.social ! A prominent, influential classic fantasy series within the genre. 🧙‍♂️🪄

Barcelona has bought the rights to everything so far. I expect they’ll put this next series out as well.

My point is sometimes you subconscious takes over. Part of the fun is knowing where you’re going but not being sure how you’re going to get there.

So, when a character says, "Do you really want to do that?" I stop. "OK, so what should I do instead?" I ask.

Crickets.

I hate it when that happens.

If that’s the leather cover, I sighed the title page which was duplicated at the printer. I forget why exactly they wanted to do that. I think it was a time limit thing. Anyway, that was the only time they tried that. Every other edition I’ve signed pages here at home or finished books in Glasgow.

I hope next year turns out better for everyone than they thought possible. Happy New Year.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Left hand is now as good as it’s going to get, given arthritis, so back to work. (Mom, do I gotta get out of bed? I don’t wanna go to school! It’s cold outside!).

Anyway, as there are holidays all over the place from the end of November to late January, Happy Holidays!

I have no idea. The FP ‘89 signing is a decent bet as it is the only time Janny and I were in London at the same time.

It was always going to be a multi book project. Didn’t know how many when I started. SerpentWar ended up as 4. DeamonWar 2. Thing change in the telling.

No news, but a recap. Six Studio is still involved with developing both the Riftwar and Empire series in TV and film projects. I did something stupid and screwed up my left hand, so no progress on the next book. But life goes on. Safe travel everyone and enjoy the holiday.

A bit of a knack, I guess. I sort of hang on to interesting names. Browse a city directory, and you’ll stumble across lots of different names.

There seems to be a flood of folks coming aboard. Time to pay more attention. No news per se, but I’ll post some info tomorrow that might have been neglected while I’ve been musing my left hand. Memo to self: not only aren’t you as fast and strong as you were at 25, Dummy, you don’t heal as fast.

Not so much forget as denial.

Just thought of you the other day, Harry. Chanced across a bit in the film Aliens vs Predators where someone says, “This is like finding Moses’s DVD collection.” And I thought did you come up with that line? Anyway, looks like a lot of us are finding our way here.

After a long absence, I’ve recovered from screwing up my left hand in a fall. Memo to self: you’re not a kid anymore! Stop trying to grab stuff like you did when you were 18!

In any event, hand is 90% and I can type for short periods. So, today I have only one thing to say: VOTE if you haven’t.

Sorry to again be long between posts, but real life does tend to interrupt.

So, for readers in the UK, or anyone willing to pop for international shipping, Waterstones still has some singed copies left. Out in August for those who don't need my scribble.

Hey! Sorry to be so absent, but real life, you know?

A Darkness Returns, is out in August. In the UK, Waterstones is taking orders for signed copies. In the US, pre-orders at Mysterious Galaxy in San Diego.

My father was a director. An actor he liked was Maroni Olsen. So, my mom is driving past the Mormon Tabernacle on Santa Monica Blvd and I said 'Look, Mom, it's Gabriel!" She said, "No, that's the Angle Maroni!" Being a Hollywood brat I asked, 'They named an angel after Mr. Olsen?"

He just needs to keep punching. Trump's using money to pay lawyers, Dems are putting 150 local headquarters in battleground states, where Trump has zero. Napoleon: When your enemy is making mistakes, don't interrupt him.

Glad you’re enjoying it. It’s been a point of pride the work captures ideas I only had a rough idea of until Janny made them better. Collaborations can be tough but worth it.

To quote Mr. T, "I pity the fool!"

There’s a fine line between binge watching and dedicating the rest of your life to Dick Wolf. Caution is advised.

I'm not sure what the no messages thing means. Anyway, I'm here. I'm an author. If not fans, then anyone who wants to discuss writing, the business (what little I know), and how to get bulletproof in an ego shattering business.

If you couldn't watch live, last night, the interview is available on YouTube at BeardofDarkness.

This evening, 5pm PT/8pm ET.
