Odds and ends
I haven’t posted anything lately, but I’ve been doing a lot of writing. I’m waiting to hear on a novella that’s in the intake hopper at the Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction and a short story submitted to Lightspeed.
The novella is the latest episode in the unwinding story of Baldemar, learning his trade as a wizard’s henchman. The short story is a space opera tale of Erm Kaslo, hardboiled confidential operative, in the far-future age of the Ten Thousand Worlds, before magic becomes once again the operating principle of the universe. I plan to write a number of Kaslo stories, if I can sell them.
Meanwhile. The November/December issue of F&SF contains the last (but one) story about Raffalon the thief. Its title is “The Vindicator” and it features Cascor the discriminator. Six months from now, when the exclusivity period for “Vindicator” ends, I’ll self-publish a collection of all the Raffalon tales, including one I haven’t written yet which will be exclusive to the collection.
A reprint of a non-Archonate story of mine, “Hunchster,” is available online in the monthly free ezine, Polar Borealis, a labor of love by Canadian fan-extraordinaire R. Graeme Cameron. PB features an all-Canadian cast of fictioneers, poets, and artists. A good place to encounter up-and-comers.
I’m in between housesits at the moment. More news to come once I’m settled again.

"The Vindicator" is pure reading enjoyment! When I see that the Magazine of Science Fiction has a Matthew Hughes story, or even better a novella, that it is going to be an awesome issue. Sadly I stay up late and read it right through. The upside is a great story deserves more than one read.
