The tenth and final book of the “Fourth Age of Shanakan” is finished and now has to go through the editing process before it’s available. That’ll probably take a couple of months. It is strange coming to the end of something I’ve been writing for over ten years, but in…

The Shadow War

…and more. Here’s a quick peek at the cover of the next Shanakan book. I’ve done the me-edit, my own attempt to iron out the typo’s and foolish errors, but doubtless my editors will find more. And I’ve already started the next book. This time it’s back to Samara for…
