I'm about to published in the UK and Linda and I are off on the adventure of a lifetime!

.

And whilst I'm not at liberty to say exactly who...I'm shortly going to be published by a UK book company that actually gets books on shelves in the United Kingdom!
How cool is that?
The novel I recently completed is a pure pulp action/adventure/horror tale.
More on that in the very near future.

The other big news is that Shalako-Lin and myself are about to leave for the UK and embark on an epic motorcycle adventure spanning the length and breadth of the Continent and also taking in Morocco, Turkey and Eygpt.
As such my continuing and popular ALF Warz story will be put on hold for the entire three months that we will be on the road.
I shall try and conclude the latest installment before we depart. (Can't leave the mystery of the space vampires weighing on readers minds.)
We will be attempting to write a ride report as we travel and that will be posted up at ADVrider, the worldwide adventure motorcyclists website.
I will post up a link to that here when we begin our journey.
We've already bought a pristine condition BMW R 100 GS dual sport bike in the UK and it's awaiting our arrival in Essex.
We're packed, we're ready, we're raring to go. May 15th is our departure date and it cannot come quick enough.
The lure of exotic countries and cultures is calling to us.
Motorcycling: It's not just a mode of transport, it's an adventure!

My Crow: The Beast in the Lake story appearing in Rage of the Behemoth

.

Out now; the Rogue Blades Entertainment spectacular: Rage of the Behemoth.
A heroic adventure/fantasy anthology featuring some of today's best sword and sorcery authors.
The emphasis in this anthology being men and women battling giant creatures out of myth and mystery.
My own contribution is my character Crow the Thiefmaster and his epic fight with a fabled lake monster.
A limited number of special issue wraparound covers is also available, one of them showing a climatic scene from my story.


RBE also has an interview I did for them here:

Feel free to join Sgt Iron Ryker as he encounters all manner of excitment and danger on exotic alien worlds, battling against nature, hostile humans and Alien Life Forms.

The story begins on the last page. The latest part of the story is always on the front page.
Journal entries are numbered.

Rogue Blades Entertainment book trailer

.

My partner Linda and myself just made this book trailer advertisment for a small indie press publisher.
We've had some good feedback about it.
It was the first one we've made.
Linda did most of the hard work.
The text is supposed to be bright and stand-outish.
The music is supposed to have a decent beat and sound modern.
Some people suggested we should have used more genre related music.
Like the stuff you hear in the Conan movies or such like.
No way! That music is so boring, boring, boring!

And Victoria wrote about the same story: "Oooh, I am so enjoying this - you have stolen my morning. But I am really not complaining!! It's very gripping indeed."

"Dude! Sorry. Mate!
You wrote Jack Be Nimble, Jack Be Quick and Jet-Bike Boogie over at Pulp and Dagger?!
You totally rock!
Sorry, hadda gush like a rabid fanboy for a minute. I'm better now."

The latest issue of Flashing Swords is now for sale and I've got an eerie Crow the Thiefmaster novella in it entitled: A Strange Knight's Tale.

Elkedoring, from the Brass Goggles forum wrote about A Strange Knight's Tale: "Yes and I was so very excited to get it and today I did! Mich you really will not be disappointed by the story. I devoured it immediately. I would encourage anyone wanting to read it to buy the magazine. It's definitely worth it."

The Flashing Swords Summer Special has just been released and I've got a story in it entitled:

Perchance a Pendant, featuring a likeable rogue of a character named Crow the Thiefmaster.

Copies can be purchased from the Flashing Swords website.
