"Epiphanies," the fourth and probably final Luff Imbry novella from PS Publishing, is now available for pre-order from the publisher.

We'll also be doing a launch of some kind at Mancunicon in Manchester over the Easter weekend. PS is working with concom to find us a good slot in the schedule.

In other news, I've spent the past week editing Door into Faerie, the fifth and concluding volume in the YA fantasy series, Shards of Excalibur, by fellow Canadian author Ed WIllett. It's about two plucky Saskatchewan teens chosen by fate and genetics to find and reforge the shattered pieces of Arthur's magic sword, while the evil, would-be world-ruling sorcerer, Merlin, tries to beat them to it.

If you like YA fantasy quests, or know someone of an age to appreciate them, the Shards series is pretty snappy stuff.

Now that the edit is finished, I'm about to turn my attention to the third draft of my forty-years-in-the-making historical novel about the founding of the Zambo state in 16th-century Ecuador. The working title is: What the Wind Brings.

By the end of this month, I hope to have it in the hands of a major literary agent, to whom I was introduced by the legendary (well, if he isn't, he ought to be) Canadian fantasy author, Dave Duncan.
