It will release as an ebook early next year (between Feb and April) and then in print about 10 months later.

Elements Review (kinda)

Ok, strictly not a review, but a post from Lee Reynoldson (Hearthweru) on the Flashing Swords section of SFReader . Elements is my short story which appears in the Flashing Swords Summer Spectacular, 2008 *

So as promised, I am quoting him everywhere!

"Last night I read Elements by R.F. Long. Loved it. Great story and nice to see an Arthurian tale that owes more to the Mabinogion than French Romance."


This totally made my day. Thanks so much Lee!

*It's still available until the end of September folks.
