Derfel Cadarn Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) I'd hoped to attend Eastercon this weekend to help promote Resurrection Men, but given my wife and I have a 7 month old baby, decided it wasn't practical. However, my publisher, Elsewhen Press have their own dealer's room at the con, where they're selling my novel and many others. I believe some of their authors will be around, including boarder Zoe Sumra, sci fi writer of Underside series (Sailor to a Siren, and Wages of Sin) Edited April 19, 2019 by Derfel Cadarn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derfel Cadarn Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Received the front cover for Thorns of a Black Rose, my forthcoming epic fantasy novel being published this year by Elsewhen Press. The image is based on a Moroccan village, Ait ben Haddou, as the novel's setting was inspired by north Africa (ancient Egypt and Morocco). The rear cover shows more of the village. https://postimg.cc/gXxc07w6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done for correctly identifying the loch based my crappy drawing. Add him in anyway! Even if it's a dude in the pub saying he never wins anything.

Derfel Cadarn Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Revenge, responsibility, confrontation and consequences. A hot desert land of diverse peoples dealing with demons, mages, natural disasters … and the Black Rose assassins. The ebook version of my 2nd novel, Thorns of a Black Rose (by David Craig) is now available for pre-order, published by Elsewhen Press. The ebook will be released on all popular ebook platforms on 26 July, and the paperback will be released on 19 October. It's about 75k words and is essentially a standalone prequel to my planned fantasy series. It's ideal for those either burned out by long multi-volume series that take decades to be completed, or want to read an adventure in a setting outwith the usual Western Europe-esque worlds. The press release from the publisher The novel info page, including pre-order links to Amazon etc It's a fantasy novel, set in a land inspired by Ancient Egypt, Morocco and the Sahara. The series will follow a small band of diverse, intrepid, and morally ambiguous adventurers as they cross the world on an overarching quest, enduring hot deserts, humid rainforest, snow-capped mountains and dark, frozen forests. My goal is to write a modern take on the sword & sorcery genre, creating a world of strife and intrigue, revealed to the reader through my band of (mis)adventurers. I hope this linear approach (rather than showing multiple locales with multiple sets of characters) will keep the series tightly focused. I plan to have two shorter follow-up series, one with an early 19th century-based setting, and the other with a modern-based setting. Each novel is intended to tell a standalone tale, while contributing to an overall arc. This novel introduces the reader to three of the protagonists; Shukara (mage), Tamira (thief), and Jassan (desert ranger). It starts in the ancient red-stoned city of Mask, where the protagonists must survive the politics and intrigues of the priest-ruled theocracy. But this is just where their adventure starts... Revenge: Best planned slow and done fast. For those who read my novel, any reviews are appreciated. As a novel written by a new unknown author and published by a small independent press, getting noticed is a constant challenge, so I'd also greatly appreciate it if readers from this forum mention it in the quarterly reading threads (and any other relevant thread). I'm more than happy to discuss my novel and answer any questions/read any feedback. This is a different type of novel from my debut, Resurrection Men, so the writing style differs, my faux Victorian style absent. But I hope anyone who reads it enjoys it.

Larry of the Lawn Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Thinking about writing a book, was gonna stay lurking but figured it said "shameless", and shameless = blameless (like you can't blame me)-- if you guys donate to my Kickstarter that pays me for think about writing a book I will (think) make a you a character for more money (you'll probably be written as an asshole sorry it's grimdick fiction very popular duh). Are there any other tricks to this? Bybtricks I mean ways to make you pay me that aren't PayPal (still banned but filed a complaint, attorney wouldn't take it but said my case is strong to strongish ) Thinking I might make some waves by getting a bunch of you guys to refer to me as 'acclaimed internet personality and literary savant Larry' or something sick like that. Anyway, I take venmo, don't fuck with PayPal (lawyer's call not me) or I can give my address and just send cash because honestly you can also send me weed or drugs not that picky. Will not send dick pics unless you can prove you are 60 or older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
