You’d think after writing all that I’d be dead on my feet, so what better than a short story anthology about Egyptian Mummies?

Jurassic have a formed a partnership with the Egypt Exploration Society. Here’s what editor of The Book of the Dead, Jared Shurin, has to say about it:

“This is a dream come true. Although the opportunity to go poking around in forbidden tombs has always been (wisely) denied me, thanks to all these fantastic authors and the EES, I still get a chance to unleash some ancient evils on the world.”

“I’m delighted by how the themes of the mummy have been brought to life (pun intended) by the stories in this volume—not only brilliant tales of both revenge and romance, but also explorations of race and imperialism, immortality and humanity.”

Released late: Late October

If you just can't wait that long you might enjoy Piracy from Fox Spirit Books. This anthology features a fleet of tales from a crew of scurvy dogs. My own story charts the fortunes of the Absent Friend and her crew, who run afoul of greed (and sea witches).

Released: Now – buy it HERE for Kindle or a physical copy HERE.

And that is just part of why I’ve not been blogging so much lately. I’m sure I’ll bore you to death with a half-arsed album review at some point. 

Until next time,

D.
