Many thanks Jane and Thea! If anyone who has read it could consider leaving a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads, that would be wonderful. Thanks for your review Squidge, delighted you liked it

I wonder if there was a bit of modern extrapolation going on with the notion of destriers being really huge, based on the misconception of the weight of armour? I admit I thought they were vast until I looked into it. If it was thought that armoured knights needed to be winched onto their horses, it would need to be a seriously hefty horse

Congratulations, Jules. Sounds like a brilliant book – I’m off to buy it now. And thanks for all the tongue in cheek info. Made me laugh as well as being interesting.

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.

Thanks Raine, will take a look and add details to the list

No problem Kate. No point my compiling a list and not giving others the benefit of it. And given my patchy record with subs I’m glad if anyone uses it. It needs a bit of updating, mind

This is brilliant. I’m glad I asked! What a fabulous source of info.

A list of potential homes for speculative short fiction. This is a working list. I started it so I would have some structure to my subs but thought it might be helpful for others, so have started adding pubs even when they are not suitable for me or my work. Feel free to suggest additions or amendments

A question for fantasy writers – where do you submit your short stories/flash fiction to. I struggle to find places that take the sort of writing I like doing. Is it more practical to keep an eye out for submission calls on specific fantasy projects? Are there any sites I should be following for this? I’m finding the whole process very frustrating…[Read more]

Check out Dark Markets ( https://www.darkmarkets.com/?m=0 ) – mostly horror but there are fantasy and sci fi too. Also subscribe to the Short Stops Newsletter and thevAuthors Publish newsletter. Both send you regular emails featuring places to submit too – which includes a fair chunk of the fantasy market. Specific zines and antjologies – check…[Read more]

Indeed, I have a list though it’s already slightly out of date on account of a couple of the markets either closing or ceasing to do open calls. I’ll copy it into the main forum

Thanks, Daed 🙂

Thanks Jules & Daeds – this is superb.

I guess not. Google “troubleshooting font problems in word”, you should find this:

It’s a strange one isn’t it? I wonder if @athelstone can help?

Daedalus replied to the topic Multiple Den Success in the forum Podium 6 years, 11 months ago
Yes, it was partly extraordinary luck, partly John’s skilful setting of the tone and throwing up some ideas before things got started and linking text after the selection, and partly in the selection and ordering of stories. (As I was going to write the opener, I got to see all the stories. It’s true to say there were a few that while being dec…[Read more]

I hate to post here twice in quick succession, but it turns out publishing has something of waiting for a bus about it. You may recall I posted a little while ago about having signed a deal for three historical novellas with Sharpe publishing. I thought the Den might like to know that the first of these, ‘Harpoon’, is now out…[Read more]

Can anyone remember who, or was it anyone on this site who wrote that rather chilling food based story in Whispers and Glances on the Cloud. I’ve come across this call for subs and it would be perfect. https://www.bloodgutsandstory.com/chew-on-this?fbclid=IwAR328nEPYjVhG9jgw2UriQMwHA4cge8TXwYDCt1wa_5uBuewb8yTmTFjWcg

I think that would be ‘Pied Bleu’, which was written by @bric

That was the one! Hopefully she’ll pick up on your tag of her.

Ooh – thanks Kate and Matt – I shall have a look at that!

Best of luck!

Sorry to hear that @jeand – I can’t say I have a clue why it’s doing that but with luck one of the more tech savvy Denizens will be able to offer a solution

Thanks Squidge, Sea and Kaz! Just to say a bit more about this, Hell’s Empire is a linked anthology based around the premise of a demonic invasion of Victorian Britain at the end of the 19th century. I’d suggest ‘War of the Worlds’ but with demons in place of the aliens’ as an elevator pitch, but that wouldn’t really do it justice, as there’s a…[Read more]

Hi all. First of all apologies for the absence, but things have been rather busy with writing and the puppy. I want to take time to mention this, though, as it’s a publication featuring no fewer than four Denizens – @woolleybeans, @jillybean, @madiguana and your servant.
