Well done, Jules and thanks for the horse breed check list, correcting my belief that a destrier was a sort of fast carthorse. I’m a big fan of Dorothy Dunnett so this will be added to my list.

Horses becoming fully fledged (ha) characters is only right and proper. They make more interesting friends/sidekicks/warriors/vindictive bastards than most actual people. 🙂

Wonderful news, Jules!! Congratulations. The book sounds fab!

Thanks, everyone 🙂

I am just about halfway through writing the second book now so the encouragement is much appreciated.

Congratulations! My to be read list is dominated bu books from Denizens this month!

That’s fantastic news, congratulations!

This is a fantastic book. A perfect weekend read. You’ll learn a heck of a lot about the Peasant’s Revolt but won’t realise until the end because you’ll have been so absorbed in the story

Well, congratulations and I hope the book does wonderfully well.

Interzone magazine for SF and fantasy, open for submissions of up to 10,000 words. The publisher, TTA Press also do Black Static magazine (horror) and Crimewave magazine, your guess is as good as mine on subject matter :).

Though they’re not currently accepting submissions, Shoreline of Infinity (mainly SF) magazine and Luna Press (SF, fantsy and dark fantasy) are worth keeping in mind.

Thanks Stevie, looks great

Albedo 1 might be worth a look for fantasy, SF and horror. They have four submission windows per year (next on is July) and pay 6 euro per 1000 words.

Thanks. I’ll resume sending stuff to agents like it is then.
I expect the outcome will be the same in any case. Soon I will have enough flipping rejections to paper a wall!
