Proof of life…
Sales on my first fantasy novel, Strange News, are going reasonably well — knock wood! In terms of costs, I may be on track to break even on this one by this time next year, at which point I hope to have a new book ready to hit the streets.
As for that work-in-progress, I’m halfway through the first draft, coming up on what the writing expert YouTubers call the “midpoint reversal.” The middle of ev

| A big, messy, sprawling romp. Abercrombie manages to incorporate humor into the mud and blood in a way that doesn't become self-referential or contrived. His characters evolve throughout the book, and no one is the same at the end as they were at the ...more | |

"Sharp Ends" is a series of short stories, loosely (very loosely) connected by characters and setting. Abercrombie's characters feel a little like items from a fantasy checklist: the conflicted, self-absorbed narrator, the big, strong sidekick, the h ...more |
