• Plugging Away the New Year

  I've finished reading THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN TORC by Simon Green. Fun read--very much lives up to its blurb as "James Bond with magic." It reads a lot like Fleming's books--fast-paced, action-packed, and tongue-in-cheek--but lacks the misogynistic cruelty of Bond, thankfully. It's worth your time if you like a pulp-styled urban fantasy set in Britain.
  
  For the 2nd plug, it's more self-serving, as I've got my first non-work-for-hire story in this anthology: FELLOWSHIP FANTASTIC came out from Daw almost a week ago, and so now it's time to market oneself. The gist of the collection is a focus on one's companions, fellowships, groups, and brotherhoods (or sisterhoods or whatever-hoods). Mine is the first published reveal of a modern urban fantasy world I've had building in my head a long number of years.

  I've not yet seen a copy of the book, but do let me know what y'all think of "Concerning a Gambit of Fraternity," please, if you chance to read it. Thanks.
