My sword and sorcery tale Lies and Treachery to be serialised in 2-parts next year

Contract signed for another sword and sorcery tale, Lies and Treachery, which is a further adventure of my mercenary heroes Horbeck, Brud and Asner. This longish story (11,100 words) will be serialised in April and July next year.

This is a sequel to The Demon from Another World which was recently published in Anthology of the Damned: Necromoirrium from TreeShaker Books. This was also quite a long tale, standing at 9,900 words.

I now have to find homes for my other Horbeck & Co tales: The Mummified Demi-God, Dead Thieves in the Night and The Sorcerer's Casket.  

Just to add to the tally I'm currently working on yet another story in their saga, A Murder of Necromancers.

New Horbeck story finished: The Sorcerer's Casket

I have just completed another story, a novelette really, about my mercenary hero Horbeck and his comrades in arms, Brud and Asner. The latest story is called The Sorcerer's Casket and is the sixth in their ongoing saga.

The tales so far in chronological order are:

The Unhappy Inquisitor

The Demon from Another World (Anthology of the Damned: Necromoirrium)

Lies and Treachery

The Mummified Demi-God

Dead Thieves in the Night

The Sorcerer's Casket

In total these add up to 57,200 words, which is amazing to me as I never intended to create a series of stories when I first wrote about Horbeck.

Another new sword and sorcery tale finished - Dead Thieves in the Night

I have managed to more or less put the final touches to a new 10,000 word sword and sorcery tale tentatively called Dead Thieves in the Night. It's another story in the ongoing saga of my mercenary heroes Horbeck, Brud and Asnar, who started life, for Horbeck at least, as a minor character in The Unhappy Inquisitor, before coming to their own in The Demon From Another World, Lies and Treachery, and The Mummified Demi-God, defying Fate by somehow or other staying alive, though how much longer this will last I do not know... 

So far only one of these tales has been published, The Demon From Another World in Anthology of the Damned: Necromoirrium from Treeshaker Books.

The Demon from Another World is now out in Anthology of the Damned: Necromoirrium

My sword and sorcery novelette The Demon from Another World is now out in Anthology of the Damned: Necromoirrium as a paperback and kindle ebook from Treeshaker Books. 

This features a group of mercenaries, chief of whom is Horbeck, who has appeared in several other stories I've written. He first appears as a minor character in The Unhappy Inquisitor. Since then he has appeared as the main character in two sequels to The Demon from Another World: Lies and Treachery and The Mummified Demi-God, plus another I am still writing.
