No, I'm not serving the wank & Scorpion news
There was a rather
With fans like these, who needs an enemy?
But that's not why I'm here. I have the blurb for Scorpion. This was re-written about four times and the collaborative effort of seven people.
-------------------------------------------------
You learn your wisest lessons from your enemies. Assuming, of course, you survive the encounter.
Kendras is a casualty of war: injured, penniless, and quite possibly the last surviving member of the only family he's ever known—the elite fighting force known as the Scorpions. When a
steel-eyed stranger offers him medicine and shelter in exchange for submission and a secret task, Kendras has no choice but to accept. He is a Scorpion; he'll do whatever it takes to survive.
But his true goal is to rebuild the Scorpions. Neither Steel's possessive nature nor Kendras's shattered foot can keep him from finding the last of his brothers... or the mysterious leader of the Scorpions, a man who held Kendras's heart long before Steel tried to take it for himself. The goal is simple, the situation anything but. To rescue his leader and escape from Steel for good, Kendras must fight through a morass of politics and intrigue, where enemies are
allies and even allies have hidden agendas.
----------------------------------------------------
Cover, map and other stuff forthcoming once I have it.
In other news, I managed to get 800 words out yesterday. I have a plot for the boxer story and I have another idea for another historical, but I'll write that later - possibly next year.
I also have a bunch of stuff to edit for friends and some for money, and hope to make some serious progress on those, too. All that editing and rewriting has thrown my schedule out of whack a bit, but I'll catch up with the rest of my life, too.
And I bought presents for my partner (birthday on Friday). I hope he likes the Kinect. Me, I just love tech wizardry like that. And I noticed that Gears of War 3 is due 20 September. I can't WAIT.

Scorpion sounds intriguing, harsh, and dark. The kind of stuff I can get lost in. Can't wait to read.
Ooo thats some serious playtime coming up for you guys with those purchases :D Creating cool stuff and blasting/splattering the enemy into the next dimension ... lots of character ideas in there I'm sure
Casey - check my blog for the link. It didn't seem to translate over.Nicci - Scorpion is exactly that. Harsh, gritty, brutal. It has its poeetic and tender and heartfelt moments and there is a real romance at the core of it - obviously - but it's very much my take on fantasy, which tends to be a lot more "real" due to the history background. It might not be for everybody and certainly not for people who like clean, Disneyland-style fantasy.
Casry - Gears of War for me ios a romance between Marcus and Dom. There's so much banter between the guys, they are clearly in love. In their hyper-masculine way, obviously. Now that Dom's wife is dead, they can finally come together.
