Happy new year!
A very happy 2023 to all my readers! 2022 was a pretty good year. I had two short stories published, Boss of Bosses for the Warhammer: Age of Sigmar setting and The Dark Son, a Grim Company story for The King Must Fall anthology. On the gaming front, I released Siege of Shadowdale Enhanced Edition, a passion project 20 years in the making.
A modest output, to be sure, but I’m more excited about the

Hey Luke! *Finally* got around to reading Grim Company after having loved the sneak peak online. Really loved it! Thanks for the journey and am really looking forward to "Sword of the North". Such a cool premise (the dead gods and all that) and well executed in a not your typical fantasy way, while still feeling typical fantasy enough to be comfortable.
Hi Luke,Thanks for adding me to your friends list. I can't wait to read your "The Grim Company" book when it reaches across the pond.
Stay Frosty.
Felix
Dear Luke,Thank you so much for being my friend here on Goodreads, which is an honor and delight! I thoroughly enjoyed reading "The Grim Company" book 1 and look forward to reading more of your work.
Kind Regards

Hi Stefan,The North American edition will be released in September by Ace-Roc. You can still get the UK edition from amazon.co.uk or book depository (latter has free posting).
Cheers,
Luke
Hi Luke, I'm super exciting about reading 'The Grim Company' after seeing the synopsis! Definitely sounds like the sort of fantasy I enjoy.
As a Canadian fan of all things sci-fi/fantasy, are there are any plans for a full North American release soon?
Cheers,
Stefan
Thanks for accepting my friend request.I am looking forward to read your novel.
