Felix the Fox is a failed magician (not his fault he couldn't pay tuition and got thrown out), a discharged legionary (honourably discharged - even if the dice were loaded), and a full time investigator of crap no one else wants to touch.
Assaph is just the guy putting words on paper for Felix.
As most of you probably already know, Virtual FantasyCon is now live and active on Facebook. I just wanted to draw your attention to a few cool things 🙂 First, though I haven’t published a book in the past year, I still managed to snag a gold award for blogging. It nominally came for The […]
Rather than an article, I include below links to two others, with my thoughts on them. I think they show pretty well the current turmoil that the publishing industry is in. The first is titled “Cover Story: The Quiet Catastrophe, Then Reinvention Of Book Publishing”, by John Birmingham on which-50. Here’s a notable excerpt: The last […]
First, Felix gave an interview – or so he thought. He was invited to Tabi Slick’s ‘Interview with the Stars’ series. But it wasn’t a simple interview. Oh, no! Instead, Tabi dropped him into a murder mystery, and he had to resolve it on the spot… Tabi: You might be wondering what all this is […]
I found this review of griffins across several cultures on Mr. P’s Mythopedia page. (Click to enlarge the picture). I find it interesting, as Murder in Absentia includes a griffin (or gryphon, in the more Greek-like spelling used in the book). It’s based on the classic type below, with the front half including the forelegs […]
David Ellis of TooFullToWrite was kind enough to interview me on his blog. He had some unusual questions… What would you choose as your own personal mascot or spirit animal when it comes to you and your style of writing? Felix is called “the fox” for a reason. He is cunning, relying on quick wits […]
So… I’ve (almost) finished my self-edits for In Numina. Time to start soliciting feedback. When can you get your hands on it? I still have some minor edits to do. The book will go through professional copy-editing and proofreading before publication (so expect typos and grammatical errors), but in between I need feedback on the […]
…Goodreads’ #1 Best Reviewer, Archit Ojha, gives your novel 5 stars! 🙂 Don’t think. Just delve in! When a murder happens in mysterious circumstances, you better should know whom to contact. This suspicious death asks us to invite the lead protagonist, Felix. Because of the political influences, the murder gets its full publicity. Sounds interesting, […]
My good friend Anais – sorry, Anaïs – has relaunched her poetry collection The Whisper Collector. A new cover, a new paperback, and all the edgy poetry we love her for. Allergies to Society I do not have time for people who need constant supervision and promises of my love… Love in friendship… I have […]
In case you missed it (it’s easy, I know), I’m a bit of a nut when it comes to ancient Rome and alternate histories. Yeah, who would have thunk it. So I was really excited to get my hands on this new addition to the field. I was not disappointed. What to Expect Imagine that […]
A few weeks ago, Mary R. Woldering has asked me to contribute a piece for her blog, with the theme of National Maritime Week. I have chosen to address the issue of the life of ancient galley-slaves, and who really rowed the naval war galleys. Below I reproduce the full post. Hi, and welcome to the […]
