Glen led me to Jim Butcher. Jim led me to Patrick Rothfuss. Twitter (via Jim) led me to Kevin Hearne, Myke Cole, Joe Hill, Steven Montano, and Steven Hockensmith. All very good authors. Most are fantasy.

Wicked Bronze Ambition
by Marc Rikmenspoel 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

I picked this up on Tuesday, and read the first 41 pages that day. It started well, reminding me a bit of Faded Steel Heat, which is one of my favorites. Both are longer tales (by Garrett standards), with a plot full of darkness. This one is full of creepiness from the get-go, due to the Tournament of Swords mentioned on the back cover. I kept reading today, and holy ----, there's a major death early in the book! Caught me totally off guard. I'm very excited to see where the story goes from here. Anyone else started reading it yet? On a side note, the third new Black Company story is now out in a new anthology. I haven't read it, or even seen it, but the new book is apparently slowly growing...

Nightshade kaput

Nightshade Books is selling off their "assets," as "an alternative to bankruptcy." Whatever that means in legal terms, in effect, they are going under. Their Glen Cook titles may be unavailable soon, so buy the ones you need while you still can! Sure, used copies will be around, but this could be the last chance to buy new ones. And now, we might never get the omnibus of Reap the East Wind, An Ill Fate Marshalling, and A Path to Coldness of Heart. Damn...

Amazon has usually been accurate about these dates. They indicate that Working God's Mischief will be released on March 11 next year. It's supposed to be 416 pages, no other information is available yet. Now it's just a few more weeks until Wicked Bronze Ambition...!

Wicked Bronze Ambition blurb!
by Marc Rikmenspoel 24 Jan '13

24 Jan '13

Okay, good news this time, here's the blurb as found on Amazon. It sounds like the Hunger Games of TunFaire! *Garrett is a human detective in the fantastical city of TunFaire. And now he’s getting tangled up in the worst sort of laws... In-laws.* Garrett is set to stow his wandering heart with his fiancée, Strafa Algarda. But for Garrett, even true love comes with its share of headaches—namely, the Algarda family. Strafa’s family needs Garrett’s unique skills in the worst way. Rumors are spreading that someone is organizing a Tournament of Swords—a brutal contest that magically compels the children of sorcerers to battle until only one is left alive. The winner will absorb the power from those he has killed and thus become a demigod. Strafa and her family want to protect her daughter, Kevans, from being forced to take part in the lethal contest...and they’ve asked Garrett to find out who is organizing the tournament and nip it in the bud. The only problem is that finding the culprit is most likely impossible. But the Algardas are used to getting what they want....
