Here's a thread on my new novella which I delivered to PS Publishing a couple of weeks ago.

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 but there's no guarantee as time is tight.

Post questions here when you have them (rather than the thread in the books forum, ta).

Amazon can get it for you but it normally takes a while. Book chains won't stock it but they'll probably order it for you.

Best thing to do is order direct from PS Publishing. They're very efficient.

Cheers
James

Seems like good fun, so it does. James' reading over the weekend was cool, set a nice tone as to how the novella should be read! Razz

Hopefully it sold well over the weekend!

Excellent James, simply excellent! Very Happy Really clever story with some excellent charcters (Cassandra & Grincheux are ace! Cool ) and some very, very funny lines, had me tittering to myself all the way through! Laughing

More of the same please sir, more of the same! Very Happy

Aye, Sindarin it isn't! Laughing If you listen very carefully you can hear the sound of Tolkien turning in his grave! (Though I suspect that off the record he may have approved! Very Happy )

Finished reading this one tonight, very good it is too. I've stook a review on Amazon.

More please James. If Scott Lynch and Joe Abercrombie can turn a good living at writing comedic fantasy, this shows you've got the funny gene as well. Very Happy

Yeah, I read it on the train back to Birmingham. I found it a good read and I really enjoyed it.

I think I'm right in saying that there will be more: at least one more novella.
