Oathbreaker has been printed - extra bit

As an aside, I'll be posting the author's notes to Oathbreaker on my own site, too, but a few months after the novel's been released. You'll be able to find them on the blog.

Incidentally, what do folks think of stuff like this? Are you interested in the authorial thought processes behind the writing of a novel? Let me know, and I can always write a little more.

Oathbreaker has been printed

I recently got my author copies of Oathbreaker, it having just returned from the printers. It's looking very nice indeed at a medium-large sized 384 pages, bereft of any adverts (barring one for Grudgelore, which I'm still waiting for) and rammed with dwarfy goodness. Look out for a good-sized glossary at the back for extra value with some additional words of Khazalid (even some that aren't featured in Grudgelore). There's a neat looking map of the dwarf realms, too, and the cover looks ace with one of Paul Dainton's absolute classic pics from 2nd ed Warhammer Armies: Dwarfs. All told, I'm pretty darn chuffed!

The book is released in February, so not to wait now... Remember, I'll be signing in Games Workshop Grimsby on the 2nd February next year, and you'll be able to get the book a couple of days early as a result (I reckon they'll be selling Grudgelore, too so a double signing opportunity is on offer). Of course, if anyone has an old copy of Back from the Dead they'd like me to daub on, then I'd be happy to do that as well (but I'm not holding my breath...).

Incidentally, on the subject of Oathbreaker, you can check out my author's notes right now on the Black Library website - just click on the link next to Oathbreaker in the Published Works section of nickkyme.com to get to it. A warning, though, there's the odd minor spoiler.

I'm back!

Well, it's been a while folks but I am back and blogging again. My apologies for my absence (which has, apparently, been noticed - all to the good).

I'm currently knee deep in a couple of projects for the Black Library and wouldn't you know it, just like that, my free time has filled right up. Not that I'm complaining, of course (though balancing the full-time day job with freelance writing can get a little tight at times).

What does all this blathering mean, I hear you ask? Well, in a nutshell, Wyrd Dreams my web only short story sequel to Back from the Dead is on a bit of a hiatus at the moment, while I focus on commissioned projects. Fear not though, Necromunda fans, as I will be returning to Wyrd Dreams in the New Year. By way of a treat, though, I will be posting up the first two chapters of the story over the next couple of weeks to whet your appetites and garner some feedback too.
