New Imbry novel turned in
I've turned in "Epiphanies," a new Luff Imbry novella (24,000 words), to PS Publishing. It will go into an omnibus of the previous three novellas to be published in two limited editions sometime this year.
Imbry started out as a supporting character in Black Brillion (Tor, 2004), where he was a high-stakes forger and confidence man forcibly inducted into the Archonate Bureau of Scrutiny and assigned to work with Baro Harkless, a strange but brilliant young scroot. I actually killed him off in the first draft, but my editor, David G. Hartwell, counseled me against it.
Later on, when PS editor Nick Gevers asked me for a story, I decided to revive Luff and produced "The Farouche Assemblage. " More stories followed, in Interzone and The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, and then the three PS limited edition novellas.
"Epiphanies" brings Imbry's career to the point at which he encounters Baro Harkless in Black Brillion.
