Extractastic

Heading into the weekend, there’s not one but two extracts of new books up on the BL Site (you lucky people, you).

First off, take a look at a couple of passages from the newly released Sword of Vengeance. These are, as you’d expect, from the beginning of the story. Neither of them mentions Helborg, but don’t worry – he turns up soon.

Second, there’s a PDF up with extracts of two stories in the new anthology Victories of the Space Marines. Ones of these is from ‘Runes’, my Space Wolf story. This was my first ever attempt to write Space Marines, and it was a fascinating challenge. It feels a bit odd, reading it now, since most of the back end of 2010 was spent writing a very different Space Wolf story with a much bigger cast and with a great deal more ambition. But you have to start somewhere, and I hope it’ll go down well.

As for now, I’m working on not one but two new book projects for WHF (you lucky people, you). One of them’s been planned out and the writing’s started in earnest, while the other is still in the plotting stage. All lots of fun – I’ll look forward to blogging more about them when I can.
