Welcome to the website of Stephen Deas, author of fantasy literature. Currently, I’m busy at work on a dragon-based trilogy for Gollancz. Extracts of these and other bits and pieces are over thataway >>>>>

Latest News: I WANT A MAAAAPPPP!!!! Oh alright then. Try this ALL NEW FINISHED version or enter the Gazetteer section (currently under construction).

Latest News:Diamond Cascade – what is it? If you’re a D&D player then you’ll recognise Diamond Cascade for what it is. If you’re not, Diamond Cascade is an ongoing story that sort of makes it up as it goes along. I have no idea how or even if it will end. Yes, but I was reading it and now I can’t find it, where is it? Yes, yes, I’ve moved it from being a set of half-hidden pages to being a blogroll in its own right. See DC in the header bar? That’s it. Gee, thanks, Steve. Now I get all this dreary D&D crap in my RSS feed from your site. Uh… I don’t have a good answer to that. Delete key?

Latest News: Other Projects:

The second draft to the follow-up to King of the Crags is finished. Still in need of some structural tweeks before we get to the spit-and-polish stage. The Thief-Taker’s Apprentice has been through edit and remains due for publication Autumn 2010. T-shirts and a daft desire for a movie trailer remain on the ‘to-do’ list.

FAQ

Q: Signings: Where and when will I be able to get my copy of your book signed?

A: Eastercon. Chelmsford Waterstones on 17th April. I’ll also be at the Oxford Wriote Fantasic event on the 8th May, the Lincoln Literary Festival on the 16th and EASTERCON at the start of April. Sadly, I will not be going to Dubai. For any other news, click on… news!

Q: Your links are broken.

A: That’s not a question. Still, if something doesn’t work, please let me know and I’ll fix it. I don’t have time to check all the links after the initial set-up.

Q: Can I order a personalised copy direct?

A: Yes, if you don’t mind waiting for it and I happen to have any spare copies lying around. See here for details. Bookshops are quicker, cheaper and offer far better customer service than I do, so this should really be a act of last resort. But I promise not to just take your money and run off to Honduras.

Q: How do I get in touch?

A: You can also receive notification of the latest updates via the magic of RSS or on Facebook, drop me a line using the Contact page, or leave a comment either here or on my Livejournal page.  You can follow my grumblings on Facebook or on Facebook(!) or on Twitter. If you want to send stuff to me, currently that has to be via my agent or my publisher.

If you’re still reading then please browse around and make yourself at home; you can find out a little about my bibliography (assuming that you can believe a word of it) and take a look at my of works published and in-progress. I keep a diary of what I’ve been writing most recently and how it’s been going (updates every week or so) and occasionally let loose about what else is happening in my world (which equates to random rants about whatever takes my fancy whenever I get around to it).
