a first look at the cover to nysta: revenge of the elf

Published May 20, 2012 | By lucas

So, here it is. Click on it to the left if you’d like to see it in its big sexy awesomeness.

I chose Amir Zand as an artist for my cover for this very reason – I love his style. On top of that, he was amazing to work with and developed my unhelpful ideas into something truly mindblowing.

Many fantasy books these days seem to be overly realistic to the point they remind me of a Romance novel. I wanted to deliberately avoid that as I wouldn’t want anyone mistaking my book for something romantic. Nysta is brutal. She’s… Continue reading →

nysta soundtrack for may 2012

Published May 8, 2012 | By lucas

For those of you still looking for a soundtrack to listen to while reading Nysta’s violent swordpunk adventures, here’s a list of what I’m listening to while writing the sequel: “Keep Walking” – The Mess Hall I can just see her walking the trail from her cabin in pursuit of Raste. Her boots kick up dust and she’s got a look in her eye that says she’s not slowing down for nobody. Kind of like the back of that ship from Spaceballs.

“Kicking Bird” – Woven Hand Just the sort of song she needs for running through the trees and… Continue reading →

favourite books of right now

Published May 8, 2012 | By lucas

At the moment, I’m doing a lot of reading of action fantasy novels. Having a look at what everyone else is making up.

So, this has been my reading list of late: “The Heroes” – Joe Abercrombie I love this. I read Abercrombie often, because he’s got such a gnarled and worldly attitude.

“Elves: Once Walked With Gods” – James Barclay A solid author having a second look at elves. I love how he’s made them harder.

“The Cold Commands” – Richard Morgan Always a little different, Morgan does like to nudge your expectations and throw you a curveball.

“Black… Continue reading →

maximum violence

Published May 8, 2012 | By lucas
A hero bound to light, who does good deeds and opens doors for ladies is well and good. But they're destined for a happy marriage and children. How sweet. Hardly a fitting end for a true hero. There's no sacrifice there. No great loss. Just a cheerful happy ending with a few laughs and maybe a cheapshot one-liner about living happily ever after, followed by a sequel involving the hero's children having funtime Famous Five adventures.

upcoming june-july releases

Published May 4, 2012 | By lucas
In the meantime, I'm busy trying to plug my brain back in. There's a spot just below my skull which seems to be desperately trying to wriggle free. I think it's my spinal cord. Do I really need that connected? Whatever. It hurts. Hot water bottles. Hot heat patches. Goanna Oil. Nothing's working. I might need a bonecracker. Continue reading →
