Hell to Pay reviewed

"Avianca's Bezel," a 15,000-word novelette starring Raffalon, Matthew Hughes'  Dying-Earthesque thief, has sold to Gordon Van Gelder at The Magazine of  Fantasy & Science Fiction; and  "The Village," the fifth episode in the serialized novel The Kaslo & Chronicles, sold to John Joseph Adams at Lightspeed magazine.

Here's a review of Hell to Pay, the concluding volume in Matthew Hughes' To Hell and Back urban fantasy trilogy. David Marshall says, "Overall, Hell to Pay is a very satisfying conclusion to an immensely pleasing trilogy. I suspect even Christians would enjoy it."

Eileen Kernaghan's latest novel, Sophie, in Shadow, will be released in Spring 2014 by Thistledown Press. It's a YA/teen historical with paranormal elements, set in India under the Raj, circa 1914.
