I'm behind on our newest member, Chaz Brenchley -- drop by Book View Cafe and take a look at his stuff!
*********
On Thursday, March 11, Book View Café welcomes Chaz Brenchley as its newest member. Brenchley is the author of nine thrillers, most recently Shelter, and two major fantasy series: The Books of Outremer, based on the world of the Crusades, and Selling Water by the River, set in an alternate Ottoman Istanbul. As Daniel Fox, he has published Dragon in Chains and now Jade Man's Skin, the first volumes of a Chinese-influenced fantasy series. A winner of the British Fantasy Award, he has also published three books for children and more than 500 short stories in various genres. His time as Crimewriter-in-Residence at the St Peter's Riverside Sculpture Project in Sunderland resulted in the collection Blood Waters. His first play, A Cold Coming, was performed and then toured in 2007. He is a prizewinning ex-poet, and has been writer in residence at the University of Northumbria, as well as tutoring their MA in Creative Writing. He was Northern Writer of the Year 2000, and lives in Newcastle upon Tyne with two squabbling cats and a famous teddy bear.

For his debut, Brenchley is offering chapter one of his ‘90s novel, DEAD OF LIGHT. Subsequent chapters of the novel will post on Thursdays at http://www.bookviewcafe.com.

I'm going to be at the Author chat at Book View Cafe for the new anthology

BVC authors will chat about their new fantasy ebook anthology, Dragon Lords and Warrior Women.

Come on by and chat with the authors! We will have a drawing for a free copy of Dragon Lords and Warrior Women.

When: Tuesday, March 16, 8-11 pm EDT

Where: http://tinychat.com/bookviewcafe

********************
For those who have heard about my humorous homage to the 1001 Arabian Nights stories, Feather of the Phoenix, it's in this anthology. We're using this as a fundraiser to help cover operating costs at BVC, so although I'm not getting money for this, you are helping out the coop's transfer to a server capable of handling our increasing numbers. Lots of good fantasy here!
