James Barclay – fantasy author

A heads up that the splendid Falcata Times is running an interview (and a rather lovely review) for the launch of Elves: Once Walked with Gods. It goes live on 16th August.

Lovely.

Look and love. Here’s the artwork for Elves book 2 – Rise of the TaiGethen. It is absolutely stunning. For me this is a pretty much perfect representation of a TaiGethen warrior. Not the sort of chap you want to be on your tail. Not that you’d know he was on your tail of course. Not until the very, very last moments of your life…

Gollancz art department… please take a bow.

Comments and thoughts welcome.

Right, for those leading the digital reading revolution, or whatever the Kindle represents (my wife haas one and they are really very good. Brilliant for holiday reading if you want to avoid excess baggage), The Raven books are making their way onto this downloadable format. So far, Dawnthief and Noonshade are available, clicke either title for the link to amazon. Nightchid should follow shortly and I’ll post the link when it does.

Happy downloading folks!

James will be signing copies of his new book, Ravensoul, at Forbidden Planet, London on 20th November 2008.

Here are the details:

Thursday, November 20th
6-7pm
Forbidden Planet
179 Shaftesbury Avenue
London
WC2H 8JR
Tel: 020 7420 3666

Please feel free to bring along any other Barclay books you’d like signed.

After much delay, my new novella, ‘The Vault of Deeds’ has been delivered to PS Publishing.

Vault of Deeds is a comedy fantasy poking gentle fun at the whole genre, cramming in cliches, action, a couple of good characters and a whole load of gags.

We’re hoping to get it out by FantasyCon in September but there’s no guarantee as time is tight.

Check out my forum for more information, discussion and the answers to any questions on it.
