Just a short announcement to say that I have now added a new page to the site. This page will be used to archive my collection of short stories set in the Dark Griffin universe. They were originally published on my LiveJournal as prequels to upcoming books, and once the new page has been sorted out they’ll be made available there. Watch this space for further developments on that front.

I may also write further stories to add to the page at a later date. And yes, they will be available for free.

I’m not going to sugarcoat it: it’s a tough time to be an author right now. Publishing a book has always been difficult, but in recent years it’s gotten much harder even for people who were already published.

Therefore, it gives me even greater pleasure than usual to announce that my good friend Ingrid Jonach has just been given a new book deal. Congratulations, Ingrid, from me and everyone else here at kjtaylor.com!

Next week I’m going to Sydney, to catch up with various people. If you’d like to be one of those people, I’m going to be at the Dymocks on George St at 12pm Friday 20th. It’s not a formal event; I’m just going to be there, so if you want to say hello or get a book signed, that’s where you can find me. Look for a pudgy brunette in a long black coat, with rings on every finger, who’ll probably be hanging around the Fantasy section.

As always, I’m pleased to announce that I have now acquired some copies of The Shadow’s Heir and have now placed a copy for sale on eBay. It’s significantly discounted, and will be personally signed to the buyer.

I’m pleased to report that the launch of The Shadow’s Heir, held this evening, was a rousing success. Pictures and recordings of the speeches will be made available shortly.

Also, my personal LiveJournal has now been deleted along with the old community Griffins_Eyrie. All news will now be exclusively posted here.
