Has to be “A Lyttle goes a long way.” Excellent title.

Hi Tony. I find unrelenting has negative connotations, as if his time in the limelight were a terrible burden that he didn’t wish for. Whereas A Lyttle goes a Long Way piques my interest, and the follow on line that mentions the ‘Ulster Storyteller’ wraps it up for me and would make me take a look inside to see if I fancied a read.
Hope that’s useful.

THE RIGHT ATTITUDE. Opening of a novel in progress. (383 words)
Lois stood in her kitchen in dolly-bird boots and a skirt above the knee. She was looking through the window just in time. The woman drew up at the curb and Ruth stepped out, pulling her satchel with her. The woman, another mother, waved and Lois waved back.
The point, though, was…[Read more]

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

Daedalus replied to the topic New Book Release: Revolt (The King's Knight) in the forum Podium 7 years ago
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

John S Alty replied to the topic New Book Release: Revolt (The King's Knight) in the forum Podium 7 years ago
Well, congratulations and I hope the book does wonderfully well.

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

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

Kate posted an update 7 years ago
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.
