Leftovers by Steve Vernon / Upcoming from Lachesis
I just finished copy editing this one for Magus Press, and it is another great read. When Steve Vernon calls himself a gypsy storyteller, he isn't kidding, and he can weave one heck of a yarn. Leftovers is a page turner that reads like a tale from the oral telling tradition days. You could imagine yourself around a campfire, while Steve spins his tale, and scares the beejebsus out of you. (Is that how you spell 'bejebsus'?)

Between now and the beginning of June, Lachesis has seven books to produce, so I am trying my best to stay away from all those wicked forums (winks), and I am also cramming a great deal into this blog.
My own queue holds a copy edit due for publication in May, while I also work on a content edit for Joel Sutherland's upcoming Lachesis release, Frozen Blood. So, to save myself some time, I'm also giving you readers a look at what May and early June brings you from Lachesis Publishing.
