New Dying Earth novel
I've finished a new Dying Earth fantasy novel. A God in Hiding is set in the same milieu as my 2019 novel, A God in Chains, and features some of the same characters, as well as a few from other stories.
I'm going to get it formatted then send it out as a pdf ARC, to try to get reviews in places where self-publishers usually don't. So it might not be available until near the end of the year Read more of this blog post »

“What are you about?" said the vehicle as a panel popped open to reveal delicate components. "I am not accustomed to such usage."
The little man said nothing, but began to rearrange connections and sever some linkages within the autocab's mechanism. The vehicle lurched and then spiraled down to a meadow bordered by trees.
"I will be compelled to summon assist-" said the car, then broke off as Gaskarth made a final adjustment. The autocab dropped the remaining few inches to the grass, and the dwarf twisted the emergency release handle to open the doors. Filidor followed him out of the autocab.
"Who am I?" inquired the car. "Have I a function?"
"Perhaps you are a type of bird," said Gaskarth. "If so, it is your function to fly."
The autocab digested this information briefly, then lifted slightly. "Experimentation tends to support the hypothesis," it said, and flew in widening circles out of their ken.”

“Yes," said Hardacre, "but it's not real. We're not real. And when the story is all told, when He writes 'The End' at the bottom of the last page, then all this will wrap up. No more Hell, no more Heaven, no more angels, devils, saints or sinners. The story's done. It will be as if we never were”
