Yes, that’s right, the people who publish my books have gone and updated their website<\/a>, and damn if it doesn’t look swell. And they’re letting people vote<\/a> on their next three anthologies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> To celebrate, and to welcome people to their new website, Deepwood Publishing has made Bloodaxe<\/em><\/a>, my Viking-based fantasy short, free for this week only. It takes place in a northern fantasy kingdom, and the main character is the deposed former ruler of that land. He’s a villain with a wicked sense of humour, and a mum who’s even more skilled than he is, so Bloodaxe lets her rule while he goes a-conquering.<\/p>\n

Reader Quotes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s not often that we get to revel in the villain. Bloodaxe is a delightfully misogynistic cad, whose observations about life and people are surprisingly direct and spot on.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I love reading fantasy but I’ve never encountered anything like this. It’s a quick read, under an hour, but is so full of win!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bweeheeheehee! This is the best book summary I’ve read in a while. Mr. Tallett, please take my dollar. \ud83d\ude00<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And with that I shall leave you with the blurb itself, and a link to download Bloodaxe<\/em> for free!<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bloodaxe thought he was in for a nice relax. He was, after all, dead.<\/p>\n

And then some jumped up prick of a god told him he had to rescue a kingdom. His own kingdom, in fact. So Bloodaxe grabbed his, well, axe, and leapt back into the fray.<\/p>\n

First, though, he had to be born. And learn not to crap his pants. Then he could get to the killing. Lots and lots of killing.<\/p>\n

This is his story.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
