To all the Demons contributing members and submitting hopefuls:

RotB Update

Jason | May 28, 2009

To all the RotB contributing members and excited purchasers:
RotB will be late to market. Due to numerous events outside of my control yet of import to my family, the title’s timetable suffered one too many setbacks. I hope to have it out by June 7th, and I will for certain announce it loud and wide [...]

RotB is Alive!

Jason | May 22, 2009

Quick note to all that I hold in my hands the RotB proof!
Slightly behind schedule, but recovering nicely
Now to inspect it. A quick once-over reveals that the cover needs to be lightened, a font restored, and interior art tweaked — but all-in-all, I’m very happy indeed.
Final numbers come in at 356 pages and [...]

Mini-interview: Didier Normand

Jason | May 18, 2009

Why paint? If you didn’t paint, what would you do?
I have been passionate about drawing since I was a child, and have been teaching myself to paint since 1983. If I didn’t paint, I would spend more time playing my Bass.
If you could hunt any speculative fiction creature ever imagined (except one of your own), [...]

Mini-interview: Jason Thummel

Jason | May 11, 2009

Why write?
It’s something that I’ve enjoyed since childhood. I love to tell stories, to entertain. There’s some ego in there too. I get a feeling akin to the thrill of the chase when I’m writing, like I’m running to catch the threads of something ephemeral that is barely visible in this distance. And much like [...]

Updates & Interviews

Jason | May 8, 2009

Apologies to all for the delayed – now officially missing – weekly interview. I will consider this week skipped and post what was this week’s interview next Monday.
As to the reasons why, in brief, I and my family are moving. That means RBE is as well. A little run down of events should inform everyone [...]

Return of the Sword finds another fan

Jason | May 7, 2009

TheCimmerian.com blogger Deuce Richardson posted a new review of Return of the Sword today. Discussing RotS within the same context as illustrious past S&S editors and series such as de Camp, Carter and Offutt, and the Swords Against Darkness series and Pitch Black titles that steered me in this direction is flattering and satisfying.
With nice [...]
