  Love, death and war...   The Morrigan goddess represented all three to the ancient Celts. Journey with our authors as they tell stories of love, war, hatred, revenge and mortality - each featuring the Morrigan in her many guises. Re-visit the world of Deverry, and of Nevyn, with a previously unpublished tale by Katharine Kerr, watch the Norse gods meet their Celtic counterparts with Elaine Cunningham, meet a druid who dances for the dead with C.E. Murphy and follow the path of a Roman centurion with Anya Bast. These are but a few offerings from the stories collection in The Phantom Queen Awakes. If you are searching for a rich blend of dark fantasy, then this is a collection perfect for you.

The Phantom Queen Awakes will be released 14th February 2010 in the US and UK.  Australian and European release dates to follow.

To pre-order, please follow this link to the Morrigan Books website.

Coming soon:

Stake your claim! In the anarchic hills and valleys of the River Kingdoms, all you own is what you can hold by force. Dozens of nations flourish in this land of outlaws and scoundrels, from high-walled city-states to tiny tribal enclaves, and any hero with strength and vision can claim a throne at the point of a sword. Here secretive druids protect ancient forests, and downtrodden refugees and exiles cast longing eyes toward lost homelands. Civilized sea monsters trapped far from the briny deep rub shoulders with legitimized assassins, and strange magic can pull a prosperous town in and out of time and space. With the constant rise and fall of bandit lords, there’s no limit to the power and prestige bold adventurers can find—though whether they can keep it is another story....

The latest addition to the Pathfinder setting will be available for preorder in January.  More more information, please visit the Paizo website.

Family Games: 100 Best, is a collection of essays written by people who create games (or, as in my case, write fiction associated with game settings.)  Edited by James Lowder and  coming in late January 2010 from Green Ronin Press, this book is a good resource for parents, educators, and anyone who enjoys playing games.

A completed redesigned website is in the works.  Please check back in March 2010 for the new site.
