LORD SUNDAY
DELIVERED I've delivered the ms. of LORD SUNDAY to my publishers.
Much later than was hoped by everyone, including myself. Now there will be
the editing process. As soon as I know the publication date or dates in the
various countries -- which right now looks likely to be early-ish in 2010, I'll post that information here and around
the 'nets. I also hope that the first two chapters or so will be put up online
in the next few months, to ease a little of the pain of the cliffhanger at
the end of SUPERIOR SATURDAY. THE ABHORSEN'S
SEVEN BELLS The bell charm packaging is at the printers. If all goes
well, I plan to have an online store operational by mid-June 2009. The
bells will be packaged individually in a black velvet bag inside a round
tin, stickered with the bell's name. WORLD FANTASY
CONVENTION 2009 I am delighted to be one of the guests of honour along with Jeff Vandermeer,
Ann Vandermeer, Lisa Snellings
and Michael Swanwick at the World Fantasy
Convention in STORIES,
STORIES EVERYWHERE I have a bunch of stories out now or coming up in
various anthologies. They include: "An Unwelcome Guest" in TROLLS-EYE VIEW edited
by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling
(out now) "Punctuality" in THE NEW SPACE OPERA 2 edited
by Gardner Dozois and Jonathan Strahan (June 2009) "The Quiet Knight" in GEEKTASTIC edited by
Holly Black and Cecil Castellucci (August 2009) "Beyond the Sea Gate of the Scholar Pirates of Sarkoe" in FAST SHIPS, BLACK SAILS edited by Ann

Dann (out now) "The Heart of the City" coming up sometime
probably 2009 in Subterranean magazine online "Stop!" in THE DRAGON BOOK edited by Gardner Dozois and Jack Dann (out

including a new Sir Hereward and Mister Fitz
story called "A Suitable Present for a Sorcerous
Puppet" which will be in the sword and sorcery collection edited by
Jonathan Strahan and Lou Anders that is out in
2010; and a unicorn story in the Zombies vs. Unicorns collection edited by
Holly Black and Justine Larbalestier, which I
think is also a 2010 publication. IMPERIAL
GALAXY website live The game that I’ve been working on with Phil
Wallach, and that has been live on Facebook for
most of 2008, can now be played via a browser as well. Just go to Imperial Galaxy. It’s
free, though there is an inexpensive premium option that allows some personalisation and other benefits, such as your player
name being eligible to be chosen as a character name in my forthcoming
novel, A Confusion of Princes.
IMPERIAL GALAXY is a
massively multiplayer online game that lets you and your friends play the
parts of noble princes (the term is used for either gender) serving in the
navy of a galaxy-spanning empire. Everyone is in the same persistent
universe, and what you and your fellow princes do will shape both your own
future and decide the fate of a vast interstellar empire that is beset by
enemies.
The bells, the bells . . . The Abhorsen’s
silver bell charms designed by Oliver
Smith are slowly getting into production. The charms are cast in
sterling silver (.925 silver) and ultimately will be for sale online
through a dedicated website or possibly an Ebay
store, and we will ship internationally. Here are a few sneak preview pics of the three varieties: bright (shiny silver);
ancient (a tarnished, antique look); and black handle (for the evil
necromancers).
