First, I want to apologize for being a bit behind in updating the blog. There have been so many things going on with the book, as well as with Steve and my work, that they have been keeping us very busy. As many of our readers know, Steve and I undertook 2018 with a passion to get The Silver Horn Echoes in front of audiences. This has been a tremendous amount of work, and I find that our most effective…..
Another event is in the books, and each brings its own unique flavor to our experiences as authors. This is the first major event that I participated without Steve, who is a few hundred miles away from us in my native Ohio. His enthusiasm was missed! But, it also meant I had a few extra feet of space behind the table to stretch my own legs. This was the first Fairfax Comic Con, and we had a presence which allowed…..
An early draft passage from the upcoming Sword of the Magnus, Book Two of the Paladin of Shadow Chronicles: A tangle of tunnels twisted through the catacombs that once provided refuge to the earliest adherents of the Christian faith, those who fled the streets of Rome above from the horror of imperial pogroms. Many of those refugees scratched a brief word or two across the crudely hewn walls, their scratchings covering centuries of other, older communications left behind by…..
Well, another wonderful gathering is in the books where among the celebration of all things pop-culture there was significant interest in a knight named Roland. We have been truly grateful for the opportunities to share both our story, as well as the tale of Roland and his peers. As you can imagine, the conversation often begins with… who? But there is a lot of connective tissue between Roland and the events chronicled both in history and fiction and things familiar…..
Memorial Day in the United States is a holiday that embodies so many layers of American culture, the gateway to summertime, and the launch of the backyard grill. And I don’t have to even say… ‘and yet…’ I grew up in small town Ohio. My family have lived in and around Chardon, Ohio since the middle of the 1800s. On my father’s side, our family was all immigrant, part of the great migration of that period. The Egings came from…..
It is with great pleasure that we bring author, editor, and reviewer Alex James to The Silver Horn Echoes. Alex has released four novels, The Antpod Faction, Roc Isle—The Descent and Tempest, and Marcellus, The Mantle. Living in Leeds, the United Kingdom, Alex is a part of the science fiction and fantasy community, as you may just run into him at various events, or find him signing books. Alex is also a professional who brings with him a unique perspective…..
The Silver Horn Echoes is Not Just a Retelling of La Chanson de Roland. We have had the reviews of the book coming in this spring, and we wanted to share them with you. The following is from the Manhattan Book Review and is cross posted on the San Franciso Book review site as well. We rated this book: Years ago, in college, I read La Chanson de Roland for a class on Medieval Europe. I can’t remember much else…..
Well, another author event is in the books! We had a wonderful time at the Comic Logic 3rd anniversary celebration. While we’ve done other events in the area, this was a last minute schedule to attend, and I had to fly this one solo. But, what was so much fun about this event is that it gave me time to meet readers who found the book on the Comic Logic bookshelf and they came back to talk about the book……
It was awesome. There, I said it. But first, let me apologize for being a bit AWOL. Steve and I have been very focused on both live author events, as well as working on Book Two of the Paladin of Shadows Chronicles. Yes, the long awaited sequel to Annwyn’s Blood is currently underway. And we are very excited to reveal the title to you in the near future. However, we have some very important things to share with you! First,…..
This just in! Another review of The Silver Horn Echoes: A Song of Roland: The Silver Horn Echoes: A Song of Roland by Michael Eging and Steve Arnold is a book for those who are into well-crafted and tightly plotted historical novels. Set against a turbulent period in the Dark Ages, readers follow compelling and memorable characters in a world where intrigue and stabbings-in-the-back are frequent. Roland is heir to the Breton March, but while the Frankish kingdom is preparing…..
