Lots of stories coming up

Lots of things to report, since I've been off-line almost two months:

"Enter Saunterance" is the latest installment in the serialized novel, The Kaslo Chronicles, now up for a free read at Lightspeed Magazine.

This month also saw the reprinting of the first Rafffalon tale, "Wearaway and Flambeau," in Sean Wallace's anthology, THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF WARRIORS AND WIZARDRY.

I've turned in the last episode of Kaslo, so Lightspeed will be running the remaining chapters through to the end of the novel sometime in 2015.

"Prisoner of Pandarius," another tale of Raffalon, my archetypal journeyman thief, should run in the January/December issue of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction . Gordon van Gelder has two more Raffalon stories in inventory, which should run in 2015.

I'll do at least a couple more Raffalons to make sure I have a collection's worth. Then I'll self-publish them as an ebook and POD paperback, once they've all run. I'll include the actual first-written Raffalon story, written for George R.R. Martin's and Gardner Dozois's cross-genre anthology, ROGUES, which made the bestseller lists and is a bargain at Amazon where it's discounted about forty percent.

Something I'm particularly proud of is a Jeeves and Wooster pastiche in OLD VENUS, the next Martin/Dozois antho coming out in March.

And I'm thinking of reviving my corpulent master criminal of the Archonate, Luff Imbry, in a few stories and offering them to John Joseph Adams at Lightspeed. BTW, my self-pubbed Imbry collection, THE MEANING OF LUFF AND OTHER STORIES, did not win the Endeavour Award earlier this month, but making the shortlist of five out of a longlist of forty-five is not bad.

For Imbry fans, "Of Whimsies and Noubles," the third in the trio of novellas published by PS Publishing in the UK, is now available in two limited editions, one of them signed.
