So I’m auctioning signed books and a critique of your first 5000 words of a novel or story for charity. I was approached by Anna Smith Spark– the Queen Of Grimdark herself–to be part of a British Fantasy Society gala bid for Save The Children. How could I say no? Besides, Anna technically outranks me: I’m the Marquis De Grimdark.

Save The Children has got its work cut out for it in 2023, what with Ukraine and now Palestine. As a world culture we’re starting to convince ourselves civilian targets are no big deal and that’s a step back centuries. Follow THIS LINK and you’ll find a lot of very talented fantasy authors (and me) offering stuff. Thanx!
