New sword and sorcery stories accepted

Along with "The Abomination in the Crypt", which was recently published in Winter of Sci-fi & Fantasy, I have had two new Ossani the Healer stories accepted for publication in April: "The Moneylender of Oriaska" and "Ossani's Apprentice". A third Ossani story, "Ossani's Escape" has already been accepted for publication and will appear in the Fall issue of Cirsova.

Last night I also had a Welgar story accepted for publication in another magazine in the coming months. This story, "From the Ashes" follows on from the last story in my Tule Fog Press collection, Welgar the Cursed. Curiously, in view of all the Ossani stories lined up to appear in 2026, the opening line of this tale is: "Ossani the Healer was a cautious man."

Most of my sword and sorcery characters interact with each other to an insane degree. 

There is also the possibility of a collection of Ossani tales later this year or early 2027.
