Coming Soon

Both of the current stories, Wisdom From The Ashes and Daughter of the Windswept Hills, are drawing close to their ends.

Replacing Wisdom From The Ashes is the next in The Chronicles of the White Bull series, Legion of the Sands, an 8200 word novelette.

Following on from Daughter of the Windswept Hills is the next Deeds of Peregrine and Blade sword and sorcery story, an almost 18000 word novella which introduces the other member of the due, Blade, entitled The Red Blade.

Coming Up Next

With Echoes of Dark Reflections now having finished, it is time to start the next stories.  In this case I will be running two different stories at the same time.  One is the next in The Chronicles of the White Bull, called Wisdom from the Ashes.

The second will be the first story from The Deeds of Peregrine and Blade, a sword and sorcery series very much in the manner of the pulps of old.  The first story in this rather large collection is a novelette entitled Daughter of the Windswept Hills, which will be followed by the novella length The Red Blade.

The schedule for the moment is to have The Chronicles of the White Bull run on Monday and Wednesday, while The Deeds of Peregrine and Blade will be on Saturdays.

Coming Up Next

The Merchant’s Legacy has reached its conclusion and so we will be moving on to the next story in The Chronicles of the White Bull.  Echoes of Dark Reflections is around 7850 words and tends towards being darker than the previous stories.

In a barren, dying land the giant white minotaur Nhaqosa and his band of hardened gladiators come across a broken, crystal tower. Horrors lay inside, horrors that must be defeated, no matter the cost, for if they are not the lands are surely doomed.

Coming Up Next

With The Pit having concluded, the next story in The Chronicles of the White Bull will be starting up.  The Merchant’s Legacy continues the story of Nhaqosa, his companions and their travels.  At around 12,300 words, it is about twice as long as The Pit, in the range category of a novelette.

 

The Merchant's Legacy

A stranger to the dying world he finds himself in, the white minotaur Nhaqosa is met with suspicion and distrust on all sides, even when he is seeking to aid the sore oppressed in lands beset by troubles.  An encounter with bandits, and their captive, a merchant named Kythias, may change all that.
