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.
