The Axe of the Dwarf Lords
I'm just coming to the end of the first round of edits. It's already in pretty good shape. Just two more sweeps and then proofreading to go. The cover art is nearly finished and at this rate The Axe of the Dwarf Lords should be out in another week or so.
I've also now written the synopsis for book 3, The Scout and the Serpent, and Patrick is working on the cover for that one. I'll be working on a few chapters of Shader 3 first (The Unweaving) and will then get Nameless 3 out in between editing commissions. The outlines of books 4 and 5 (which complete the Chronicles) are starting to shape up nicely too.
Once this series is complete, I'll be developing some further adventures of Nameless, possibly alongside his old buddy Shadrak the Unseen. They'll fall outside of the story arc of the Chronicles and the Shader series and will most likely be short standalone tales in the tradition of old style sword and sorcery.

The Axe of the Dwarf Lords
I seemed to be dreaming all night about a particularly horrific monster. When I woke up all the pieces of the Axe of the Dwarf Lords fell into place. The conclusion, which I'd been pondering for some time as I wrote the early stages, came sharply into focus.
This is going to be an epic ending, one that tells us more about the dwarves, Nameless, and even the homunculi (the children of the Demiurgos).

The Axe of the Dwarf Lords
Book 2 of the Chronicles of the Nameless Dwarf, The Axe of the Dwarf Lords, is underway and should be released during January 2012.
Nameless, Silas, Nils, and Ilesa have entered the nightmare lands of Qlippoth so that Nameless can attempt to save the last of the dwarves from Arx Gravis from extinction. However, things start badly when Nils and Ilesa find themselves surrounded by zombies, and Silas's bladder gets him into a whole load of trouble.
Nameless finds his gentler nature aroused, if only temporarily, and then finds himself on a voyage of discovery that reveals there is far more to the dwarves, and himself, than he could ever have imagined.
The Axe of the Dwarf Lords features cover art by the talented Patrick Stacy and will be available in print and ebook formats.
Other Nameless news: I'm well into writing of The Unweaving (Shader book 3) in which Nameless makes his debut. The Unweaving is scheduled for release by the summer and will be followed shortly after by The Archon's Assassin (book 4) which also features Nameless.
Book 5 of the Shader series is titled Rise of the Nameless Dwarf, and is set to be a dark tale with a massive siege scene.

Work is underway on the second book of The Chronicles of the Nameless Dwarf, Axe of the Dwarf Lords. It will be another novella length story featuring Nameless, Nils, Silas, and Ilesa. There are more revelations about the dwarves, and about Nameless himself, and Silas continues to make worrying discoveries.
Cover art is also in progress. I'll post sketches etc as I receive them.
