What a year! Ice Forged launched in January of 2013, kicking off my new Ascendant Kingdoms Saga. We also began bringing out a new short story direct to Kindle, Kobo and Nook every month in my Jonmarc Vahanian Adventures series and the Deadly Curiosities Adventures series.
Then Solaris Books asked me to write a new urban fantasy for them based on the “Buttons” story that I wrote for their “Magic” anthology in 2012 (the anthology just won the British Fantasy Award!). Ice Forged was the Kindle Deal of the Day on October 31, and made it to three #1 spots (Epic Fantasy, Historical Fantasy, Sword and Sorcery) on Kindle in the US and Canada. I’m working to finish up War of Shadows the third Ascendant Kingdoms book by the end of the year.
In 2014, I’ll continue to bring out the new short stories monthly, perhaps with an additional novella or two. Reign of Ash, the sequel to Ice Forged, comes out in April from Orbit Books. My new urban fantasy, Deadly Curiosities, comes out from Solaris Books in July. I’ll have short stories in at least four anthologies slated for 2014: Unexpected Journeys from the British Fantasy Society, Athena’s Daughters from Silence in the Library Publishing, Clockwork Universe: Steampunk vs. Aliens for Zombies Need Brains Publishing, and With Great Power, a superhero anthology. A huge “thank you” to my readers who make all this possible!
