The Demon's Door Bolt is out in paperback and Kindle, a tale of the greatest battle ever waged... at least according to Uther Pendragon. This is a novel you will either hate or love, and so far the few reviewers have loved it.
My upcoming novel is Forging the Blade, a mostly-historical story taking place from AD 347 to 350, the first three years of Aoric's purge of Gothic Christians. Surprisingly, at least to me, it turned out as pre-Arthurian, at least in the sense that the prototype "Arthur" may have been "the Bear." The reader is also introduced to Tyrfing, an actual sword that may have been the basis for The Sword in the Stone.
I'm looking for pre-publication readers. If you have an interest in the Goths and a youthful Fritigern, I can email a PDF of the story to you. Drop me a PM. It's not short, 497 pages, but it's a new take on a subject that has always been considered Celtic.
The tale has the Roman cavalry woven into it, and includes several battle scenes, just in case you like that sort of stuff
