Hello everyone!

I had thought I'd get a post up yesterday, but I had thought how the first of these new regular posts had gone up on a Tuesday, there wasn't much of a problem with putting one up today instead. there had been that impromptu post put up on Sunday about Andy Remic and him sadly loosing his battle with cancer as well. May he go on adventures wit the gods and goddesses now.

A bit of news about Thadeus Morticaine, he is still studying away at a few things, looking into the lesser known things of the world and the universe, 'playing with chaos and dancing with the fae' as he puts it but he has been looking into some very interesting stories. He has managed to et an interest in Folk Horror and has been working his way through both the collections of 2000AD's Thistlebone and he is thoroughly enjoying them.

Thistlebone Volume One, 2000AD

Thistlebone Rising, 2000AD

Thistlebone, 2000AD

If you would like to take a look for yourselves or buy them, take a look here for volume one.

And here for volume two.

Now onto what Dan Coghlan has been up to. Well, the essence of it is that he is still trucking away at his novella. It's taking a bit longer than he planned, but he has broached the half way mark and soon, once there has been a prison break, the undead will run rampant and a wizard will be found to have been dead for longer than was thought - no, she wasn't leading the undead. He hopes that during the week to come, he'll be storming his way through the final chapters.

After he's finished with this novella, there'll be another first draft written about fimir breaking into a strange dimension and a short story about ancient and unearthly powers being woken below a city that's been built over a pyramid complex. He then should really start editing those stories and the two from before Christmas, but he may well try and get another two or three first drafts done before he grinds through the edits.

And that's about it for this week. I hope to see you next time.

To get the ball rolling, here is a little bit about both Thadeus Morticaine and Dan Coghlan.

Thadeus Morticaine and Dan Coghlan have been friends for many years and are both authors from Derby.

Thadeus Morticaine was born in November 1985 and is writing stories in many genres. He is working on some Folk Horror stories based on his Great, Great Grandfather, Obadiah Morticaine. He is also working on a series of stories set during the English Civil War. He is also working on some Grim Dark Fantasy and is very keen on the stories of Sexton Blake. He is also working on a selection of ghost stories too. He is also a runecaster and loves folktales. He is helping out with Northworthy Sagas and Stories.

Dan Coghlan is working on a series of Swords and Sorcery stories based around the adventures of a Wood Elf Barbarian. He is also planning a series of post apocalyptic pulp fiction style stories too. He is a fan of a number of the old pulp fiction stories.

Hello everyone,

As a new year has come, so has a re-jigging of this blog. It will now be a place for the inspirations and work - and its progress - for two author friends called Thadeus Morticaine and Dan Coghlan. You can check out the About the Authors side bar for more on them.

In the mean time, other social media outlets will be set up and post by the two will be uploaded in time. I hope you enjoy what's to come.
