[QUOTE="PaulKemp, post: 5939179, member: 2809"] Apologies in advance for a self-promo thread. I rarely do these, but I know a lot of you share my affection for sword and sorcery fiction and I want to make sure you've at least heard of my next novel. Some of you might know me from my Forgotten Realms or Star Wars novels; some of you may not know me at all. :D Anyway, my next book is entitled [I]The Hammer and the Blade[/I], will be released by Angry Robot books on June 26th, and is the first in a series that represents my run at pure sword and sorcery. I've posted links to excerpts of the novel in another thread, but it's probably easiest (if you were interested in reading them) to just go to [URL="http://paulskemp.com/the-tales-of-egil-and-nix/the-hammer-and-the-blade/"]my site here[/URL], where all the links are compiled. The pre-release reviews of the novel have been enormously positive. I've rounded up some of [URL="http://paulskemp.com/blog/review-round-up-for-the-hammer-and-the-blade/"]them here[/URL]. And if you want a chuckle, I've listed the [URL="http://paulskemp.com/blog/top-ten-reasons-to-buy-the-hammer-and-the-blade/"]Top Ten Reasons[/URL] to buy [I]The Hammer and the Blade[/I]. Again, if this kind of post irks you, please accept my apologies. The noise in the marketplace is loud sometimes and it seemed worthwhile to try to break through it, at least on ENWorld (where lots of folks who frequent this board read the same novels I did in their younger years (Lieber's Fafhrd and the Mouser tales, Howard's Conan stories) and are, therefore, exactly the folks for whom I wrote this book).
