What shall we talk about today? I mentioned I have a book out. It’s called Hound of the Arcanum and frankly, I think it’s pretty good. It’s not ground breaking literature, but it is entertaining. It’s alternative history fantasy with a touch of steampunk, but more than that, it’s an adventure. The kind you used to read. Well, I used to read. Most editors today aren’t just looking for the next BIG thing, but stuff that is deep, meaningful, tackles social issues. This is great. But, when I was young my mother gave me The Three Muskateers. Just a story of four guys marching across France sticking their pointy swords into bad people. I’m pretty sure this is the book that got me reading. Later, the realization that many movies I was too young to see were based on books I was could take out of the library kept me reading.
I guess the point is, I write what I like to read and the Hound of the Arcanum is one of those kinds of books. Not asking you to buy it, but it is available on Amazon, Kobo and direct to digital. If you want a hard copy, I’ll be at Can Con in Ottawa this fall as a vendor. I might even have a few other surprises, but as they say on the riverbank, that is another story.
