Shader news

I've made good progress on The Unweaving. Once my latest editing commission has been completed I'll be dedicating a few hours each day to getting book 3 finished. That will complete the first Shader trilogy. I'll then be free to resume work on book 4, The Archon's Assassin, which is already in fairly good shape.

I also have a Shader novella to finish off in the next few months -- The Seventh Horse.

The second book of The Chronicles of the Nameless Dwarf is also well underway. The Axe of the Dwarf Lords should appear before The Unweaving, probably at some point in January, once the cover art is finished.

Book 1, The Ant-Man of Malfen is currently only $0.99 in the US and Free in the UK.

Best Laid Plans

Book 2 of the Shader series, Best Laid Plans will be released soon. It's just undergoing final edits and I'm waiting on the cover art. What I've seen so far is stunning.

The paperback of Cadman's Gambit has now been released. It benefits from the excellent formatting of T.M. Roy and features a double-page map of the world.

There will be a paperback giveaway of Cadman's Gambit on Goodreads next month. In the meantime, if you are a reviewer living in the US and would like a paperback copy, please email me at derekprior[at]yahoo.co.uk.
