Von K and Deuce - Thanks so much for the birthday interview and the comment on it! I really appreciate both and I'm honoured. Just as an immediate update - Speaking Volumes and I have signed the electronic contract for BARD VI: SUNSPEAR. It opens about three years after the close of BARD V: FELIMID'S HOMECOMING. Thos who read BARD V may remember Ruarc Sunspear, who blames Felimid for his gruesome mentor's death and has spent the intervening three years in pursuit of power and kingship. Ruarc is very much into the mythic hero image, and he's lucky enough to have the confidence, the splendid looks, the charisma in general, and the very real warrior's prowess, to make it stick. Felimid is still baffled as to how Ruarc managed to become an over-king in a mere three years, starting essentially from scratch, and as Ruarc has promised destruction not just to Felimid but to his kin, foster-kin, and the island religious foundation of Felimid's mother. the bard concludes he has let things slide for too long and must travel north to sort Sunspear out. As I said in the interview ... I'm now trying to establish a non-fantasy series, and working on a mystery novel set in Galway city in 1790, with a green young lawyer just back from the Inns of Court in London as the sleuth. I would really like to get my novel DAMNED FROM BIRTH - inspired by REH's "The Thing on the Roof" - published some time, but I haven't found a publisher yet. In the meantime, I'm really grateful to REH and his legacy, and for having been able to contribute to REH: Two Gun Raconteur, and The Cimmerian, both sites of glorious memory. Slainte. And I hope everybody has a grand 2024.

The plot for BARD VI: SUNSPEAR sounds awesome. Hope it won't be too long before it is available on your Speaking Volumes Bard series page (which I will just link to here):
I have some hopes that if the Titan REH pastiche line of ebooks goes well enough they might reach out for contributions from some more novelist fans of REH like yourself and William King among others. It would be cool to see some of the speculations from your many essays on TGR made manifest in fictional form whether that form be short story, novella or full on novel.
