Derfel Cadarn Posted September 8, 2023 Author Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) And it’s off! Finished Lucifer & Son (book 3 of 4 in the Sooty Feathers series) last night and emailed it to my publisher. It should be out some time next year, and since it’s set mostly in Glasgow, I’m hoping to use Worldcon Glasgow next year to promote the hell out of it and get some sales for the series. I’m now working on a heist novel where an underwater recovery expert is hired to retrieve a safe containing a rare, possibly still drinkable, bottle of wine from the bow section of the Titanic. The twist is, it was stored in the stern section (which was pretty much pancaked on impact), so her client is sending her and her team back in time to move the wine to where it will survive and can be recovered in the present. They can’t bring it back with them. Lots of double-crosses… Edited September 8, 2023 by Derfel Cadarn Ser Not Appearing, The Marquis de Leech, Wall Flower and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grey Wolf Strikes Back Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 (edited) Wrote a poem about Selene and Endymion last night. Title is "Who Woke Endymion?" Also, I forgot to share this but the title for my Lancelot poem is "A Knight's Reflection." Oh, and I'm hosting a digital discount sale in the UK for my first book from 9/11-9/16.

The Grey Wolf Strikes Back Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Wrote another short poem, this one titled "Dream of Humanity." SpaceChampion, The Marquis de Leech and Derfel Cadarn 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Marquis de Leech Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Have finished two months' worth of revisions on Old Phuul (including the addition of two extra chapters), and have resubmitted the resulting manuscript. Good to have that sorted by the end of September. In other writing news, I dusted off an unfinished short story set in the same world, and turned it into a 1000-word flash fiction piece for online magazine purposes.

Lots of double-crosses… This is an interesting subject because risks and difficulties of recovering something from the Titanic is forevermore linked to the submersible that imploded. People know more now and have a relationship with the idea. Have you considered what changes that might spawn in your story? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was originally going to use the Titan as a basis for the sub in my book … needless to say that won’t be happening!

The Marquis de Leech Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) Oddly enough, there is actually a 1898 novella called The Wreck of the Titan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wreck_of_the_Titan:_Or,_Futility It's not very good, and is only remembered because of the Titanic fourteen years later.

Derfel Cadarn Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share Posted October 28, 2023 Lucifer & Son (Sooty Feathers #3) has been accepted by Elsewhen Press and all going well will be out by next year. Since it’s set mostly in Glasgow, I’m hoping to promote it (and books 1 and 2) heavily during Glascon next year.
