Agreed with most of above posts - IF the subject didn't bleed out or die of shock infection would be the likely killer. It wasn't certain - people did live with the loss of limbs - but would be pretty likely. If your team has alcohol - that can be used to clean (if it's a spirit), or to knock...

My latest Novella is here Tales of Erana: Just One Mistake Coel, the bard, thinks his life has taken a turn for the worst, but he hasn't met the Thiefmaster yet. An ill-conceived notion of earning more money to pay off his debt and escape a dark past leaves the minstrel in a situation he...

I end up writing at weekends and in the evening. Occasionally I sneak some writing time at work. I'm going to be better next year and spend time writing and not mucking about on FB

I can't see that it hurts. I read a lot of other genres besides fantasy but I do still read it when I write. Any good book is worth it. After all inspiration comes from everywhere, and whilst your brain is having fun with true crime, mystery or romance your story brain is mulling over story...

I have elves - but mine are basically slaves. Their culture was decimated by a combination of war, a strange plague which fed on magic users, then spread to all, and martial law imposed by the humans. Now the elves either live in fragmented groups deep in the forest or in ghettos in the city -...

Hi I'm after blogs willing to feature a fantasy writer who writes adult fantasy - think sex and sorcery. Preferably author and/or character interviews Also I'm offering the same on my own blog - also guest posts about the importance of fantasy and folklore in society. Anyone...

It depends - for the humans in my novels I have English (or at least European) names, like Thomas, Simon, Frederick, Marrissa but also slightly more unusual like Marden, Gervase or such like. Occasionally I corrupt regular spellings - like Emmae instead of Emma, or Teena etc. For my elves -...
