I know I've been dead silent here on the blog recently, but behind the scenes there's been a lot going on! Remember how I promised Shattered Sigil short stories through the
Labyrinth of Flame Kickstarter? The stories have been turning into novellas, which is why it's taking me so long to write them. I'm currently putting the Cara novella (tentatively titled
The White Serpent) through my critique group; once all the revision's done, it'll go out to Kickstarter backers. I'm still working on the Ruslan story, along with two other stories I promised to individual backers who got the Ultimate Fan Reward.
But now I have even more exciting news! I'll be writing yet another Shattered Sigil short story, this one for the
Evil is a Matter of Perspective anthology that's being put together by Adrian Collins of
Grimdark Magazine. It's being funded through Kickstarter, and the campaign will go live June 15. Here's the
official announcement, and check out this awesome cover with art by Tommy Arnold:
My story will be from Lizaveta's perspective, which will be a hell of a lot of fun to write, since in many ways she's more ruthless than her mage-brother Ruslan. Plus we didn't get to see as much of her as Ruslan in the series, so it'll be neat to explore her character a bit more.
I'm also really hoping the Kickstarter funds so I can read everyone else's stories, since I've read and enjoyed many of their series! I'll put up a reminder here when the Kickstarter goes live (or a few days after, anyway, since we're about to head out to Australia and I'll be on a tallship in the Whitsunday Islands on the actual launch date.)
Awesome, I'll be backing that - that's a great line-up, and Tommy Arnold is an amazing artist; I nominated him (and you) for the Hugos. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, thanks Kendall! I am seriously honored to hear you nominated me. And yes, Tommy Arnold is amazing! I really liked the art he did for the updates of Fran Wilde's covers, and for Krista D. Ball's The Demons We See.
