Thrice-cursed bard and warrior-elf Tamsin wakes up in Elfland after what might or might not have been his death, healed and hale for the first time in millennia. Somewhat confused but not entirely unhappy with this turn of events, he sets off in the hopes of finding a way home ...

Northwest Mounted Police officer Gavin Rashford goes to the Canadian Maritimes with two goals: to have a great holiday 'with the band' as up-and-coming fiddling superstar Amanda Robicheau's groupie/boyfriend, and to see if he can persuade the Halifax Police to assist him with an ongoing cold case.Unfortunately neither of these things are going to be quite as straightforward as he hoped. Rashford is really all too prone to stumbling over and into other people's cases. And crimes. And love affairs.At least the music is good.

Magic is out of fashion. Good manners never are. Jemis Greenwing returned from university with a broken heart, a bad cold, and no prospects beyond a problematic inheritance and a job at the local bookstore. Ragnor Bella is a placid little market town on the road to nowhere, where Jemis' family affairs have always been the main source of gossip. He is determined to keep his head down under the cover of his new employer's devastating mastery of social etiquette, but falls to the temptation of resuming his friendship with Mr. Dart of Dartington-land agent to his older brother the squire and beloved local daredevil-who is delighted to have Jemis' company for what is, he assures him, only a very small adventure. Ragnor Bella is known as the dullest town in the whole continent, after all. Jemis expected the cut direct. The secret societies, criminal gangs, and cult to the old gods come as a complete surprise. Book One of the Greenwing & Dart series, fantasies of manners-and mischief.

Northwest Oriole is a land of small countries and many universities, where scholarship is greatly regarded. Choosing a school is thus a matter of great weight, no matter your rank or wealth. Hal has always known where he's going, because he is the Imperial Duke of Fillering Pool, and the dukes have always gone to either Zabour or Tara. Since Zabour fell into the sea, it'll have to be Tara. Theoretically. At some point he'll have to write them. Clary Sage is a novella loosely connected to the Grenwing & Dart series, taking place before those books commence.

Friends by chance--or is it fate?Damian Raske and Jullanar Thistlethwaite are about as different as can be. Damian is a young swordsman, dreaming of being the best in the world, hardly aware of what lies beyond the outskirts of his city, let alone that there is a great empire on the other side of the horizon. Jullanar is a gently-raised young woman from deep inside the Empire of Astandalas, aware that there are worlds beyond its sway but hardly daring to dream she'd ever see outside of her own country, let alone beyond the empire's borders. And yet they both dream of friendship, of adventure, of what else there might be. And it's Jullanar whose exam results turn out to matter in a way no one could expect.The first book of The Red Company, because even the greatest of folk heroes have to start somewhere.

A Festschrift in honour of the Reverend Dr. Thomas Curran on the occasion of his 70th birthday from various friends, colleagues, and former students from his work at the University of King's College, Halifax.

Sergeant Rashford of the Northwest Mounted Police once let a man get away after following the so-called Claude Dallas's traces across the newly created country of Alsama, formerly the prairie provinces of Canada. He's moved to new pastures in southern Saskatchewan and has done his best to put "Claude Dallas" out of his mind. He has other mysteries to ponder, including the woman who took him for dinner and a bus fare but whom he can't get out of his mind.When the two tracks cross, he is surprised--but determined that this time neither Roxanne nor "Claude Dallas" will get the better of him.

Before the Fall of the Empire of Astandalas, the Red Company was legendary. A dozen or so years after that cataclysm, they have almost faded into myth.Pali Avramapul may not have gone under her own name since the dissolution of the Red Company, but she is no myth, and has certainly not faded. She fights folly and injustice as fiercely as ever-although, as a respected scholar of history at one of the Circle Schools of Alinor, she now tends to use her tongue and pen more than her sword. She still keeps the sword sharp, of course. You never know when adventure will come calling.She expects her sabbatical to be a decorous, respectable sort of adventure, the kind with which she can regale her colleagues in the Senior Common Room upon her return.She's not very upset when she finds one or two of her old friends and it turns out the adventure is much more likely to involve a plot to kidnap the Last Emperor of Astandalas. There's respectable, after all, and then there's respectable.
