I'm currently working on a non-fiction book by Victorine Lieske.

Paula is working on a copy edit for Curtis Hox.

Next week I start on a historical fiction by N. Gemini-Sasson.

As usual, please send all queries (even if you just have a question about writing or editing) to derekprior@yahoo.co.uk

The Legend of Vanx Malic

My last editing commission was the start of a fantasy series, The Legend of Vanx Malic, by M.R. Mathias. It's a departure from Mathias's Wardstone trilogy and his Dragoneers books, but retains the depth of world building and complex, flawed characters. Mathias's gift for language makes it a light and enjoyable read, and there's enough engaging action and good-natured humour to keep you fully engaged.

The cover art for this one is by the exceptionally gifted Anton  Kokarev, and shows Vanx on a haulkatten.
