Jules replied to the topic New Book Release: Revolt (The King's Knight) in the forum Podium 6 years, 10 months ago
Thanks, everyone 🙂
I am just about halfway through writing the second book now so the encouragement is much appreciated.
@JaneShuff – that has to be one of the best TBRs 😀
@Bella – I thought I was being flippant when I spoke about lads marrying their mother-in-laws, but having checked, there were cases where families got split up and the…[Read more]

I’m just sidling onto the podium here to say that the first book in my Medieval historical fiction trilogy of novellas came out at the end of last week.
I think I probably completely forgot to mention that I signed a three book contract in January – so er oops! and sorry about that!
As background, I like to occassionally leave the fertile fields…[Read more]

Thanks Jules & Daeds – this is superb.

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Indeed, I have a list though it’s already slightly out of date on account of a couple of the markets either closing or ceasing to do open calls.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

Yay! I’m so glad you posted this, Daed. Highly recommend it to everyone who likes hist fic especially WWII. It’s an excellent novella. Can’t wait for the next one 😁

I think the linking text definitely helped @squidge. As did the editors having a clear idea of what they were looking for and how to make it all fit together. And I think the opening and closing stories gave the anthology shape too. But we weren’t actually given that much of a premise other than ‘demon invasion of Victorian Britain’ which expanded…[Read more]

Glad you’re enjoying it @Squidge I love the interlinking text – it really adds sometjing to the collection. I love the shared world aspect of the anthology too.

I’m afraid I have no immediately explanation but I’ll attempt to access it from the back end and see what can be done.

The other thing to consider is that if you repky to a comment, and the author of the comment deletes it, all the replies to that comment will be deleted to.

In this case, it’s a writing exercise, each of us posting for others to comment on. One seen and disappeared, the other never seen at all.

There should be a little double speech box icon in the bottom right corner of the main post. If you hover over that it should give you the option to ‘view conversation’ and if you click on it should open up the entire chat. If someone has commented on a comment rather than on the main post, you may need to do the same on the comment. Occasionally…[Read more]

Fingers crossed the will reappear – same lack on phone & laptop, of both links and double speech boxes.

Jules replied to the topic Multiple Den Success in the forum Podium 6 years, 10 months ago
This was such a great project to be a part of (not least because I was basically asked to write war of the worlds fan fic 😉 ) Matt is being humble by the way. He’s written the opening novellette The Battle of the Alma, which sets the scene and tone for the entire anthology. It’s an excellent piece of fiction with stellar world building. (I keep…[Read more]

Thanks, Raine. Looks good 😊

Yep. What Jules said.
I’ve put the kettle on. -
Thank you!! 🙂

Morning Leon, hope you can find your way around. Just yell if not. 🙂

Thank you! I’ve taken a look around and just need to get the courage to post haha

No invite thus far, Kaz. My NaNo handle is ThrowingCopper. (You did invite me right? Because someone else had already nabbed the name Jillybean 😉)

Aha! Got you 🙂 and yes I did invite Jillybean so I’d better go and uninvite them, if I can…

I might join you too, if that’s alright? Would be a good chance to get these other historical novellas done.
-
@kazg I haven’t seen an invite from you. Fabulous @jillybean
-
@janeshuff I can’t find you! There doesn’t seem to be a Janeshuff coming up. Other Janes, but not you 🙁 Might you come up under another name? Ditto for @daedalus and @jillybean…
-
Try under my e mail address. I will send it again if you gaven’t got it. Or what is your name?
-
Nope to the email address. Have you signed up for the Camp? I think you have to sign up specifically for it first – it won’t find you from the old Nano site (which I think is why I can’t find @daedalus and @jillybean at the moment). It’s a private cabin so you won’t see it @janeshuff – if you make it public they fill it for you and I don’t…[Read more]

Ok I have just seen this on the Camp NaNo website:
‘Once in your cabin, you can invite your friends by typing their usernames into the invitation field. You can invite up to 19 Campers. A Camper must have created a profile, a novel, and deselected “I don’t want cabin invitations this session” to be eligible.’
So there you are – you need to be si…[Read more]

(Also you have to select, “I don’t want to be included in a cabin” so you are not sorted into a random cabin)

please do! That would be fab 🙂 (and also your output will keep us on our toes..!)

(This for @jillybean of course 🙂 )

I thought I had. I will be home in an hour and will check and look for you

Not for me. I would love to see everyone but that price tag is not a great inducement.
-
It’s my biggest disincentive. Last year it ruled things out plain and simple. I’ll be honest, I’m thinking about it this year because I may have a viable book to take. That hasn’t been a reason for any of my previous visits,
-
Also, I’m going stir crazy as I haven’t been out more than ten times since mid January
-
The jury’s out for me as yet, Athers. It depends on whether I get a reply from DHH re Doris. If he doesn’t want it, I might be tempted to take it to York. I’m also mulling over going only Saturday and meeting old friends, though it depends on how many are going.
-
I would love to see everybody and if enough people were going and I could combine it with seeing family in the UK, I might think about it…
-
I’ll be deciding before the ‘early bird’ offer expires because the cost of the full weekend without the Friday mini-course is actually £40 LESS than I paid 5 years ago.

It should show all your posts but sometimes it ‘folds’ them to save space. This is annoying but there’s not much that xan be done at present. However if you’ve been mentioned in a post using your handle, then select mentions from the main navigational menu (assuming you’re logged in). You can access the post there. Failing that trh actually going…[Read more]

Yeah, I got hit by that glitch on that comment thread too, @sandradavies. It does seem to strike at random. :-/

Me too, Raine. And yeah if I had a soare 5k to spend on writing, that’s where my money would go too.

Same

Very much the same.

Tick. I’ve learned that money spent on courses, assessments, etc isn’t necessarily well-spent. I’ve already wasted too much.
