Finished work on my retelling if Perseus — it’s a pretty loyal telling of the original myth, but with more examination of the Olympians and their involvement. It’s being proofed and cover art is coming together and it should be hitting Kindle Store by midsummer.

The next, Cawnpore is a historical romance/war novel set during the Indian Mutiny of 1857. Anglo-Irish officer Richard Fortune arrives in the eponymous town on the eve of the outbreak of hostilities and is tasked with trying to keep the local potentate, Nana Sahib, placated over the new policy of “lapse”, where native rulers without issue had their lands and property seized by the East Indian Company on their passing. He falls for a dancing girl in Nana’s court and uses her as an asset to track sedition by members of the court. Unfortunately, the higher ups don’t believe that a mutiny will happen, and soon they are all fighting for their lives, trapped in a small fortification, surrounded by thousands of their former native soldiers. Reproofing the book, as the original proofs from publication have gone astray so I have to work from a preproduction version; should drop on the Kindle Store in July.

It looks like I’ll be doing more role playing game work for Cubicle 7, as well.
