FICTION UPDATE —A Prayer for Dead Kings and Clearwater Dawn ebooks available now
When he finally seized the sword, Morghan felt the power again, spiking in a sensation like the emptiness of unspoken words. Raw emotion filtered through him just as the voice had filtered through him before, and in that instant, in a heartbeat, in the rawness of memory where it clawed at him from the dark dreams that the day tried to push away, he knew that anything was possible.
Too many things still to be done.
So many debts to repay.

Scott Fitzgerald Gray is a specially constructed biogenetic simulacrum built around an array of experimental consciousness-sharing techniques — a product of the finest minds of Canadian science until the grant money ran out. Accidentally set loose during an unauthorized midnight rave at the lab, the S.F. Gray entity is currently at large amongst an unsuspecting populace, where his work as an author, screenwriter, editor, RPG designer, and story editor for feature film keeps him off the streets.
William Gibson is said to have famously described novel writing as being something akin to pulling a chain through your head. Not having written a novel at the time, Scott assumed that Gibson was waxing hyperbolic. He knows better now.
