Arcane Arts: Dispatches from the Silver Key went out yesterday, covering heavy metal, sword-and-sorcery (including Karl Edward Wagner's Kane, a cool fanzine I'm a part of, and an academic panel on REH I'll be speaking on).
Remember to sign up if you haven't already. It's a free email and covers stuff I don't cover here.
It also included something I want to talk about in a bit more detail here: The heavy metal memoir.
The Silver Key went dormant from 2013-2019, not coincidentally the same time I went to work on Flame and Crimson.
The good news is: That's not going to happen with the latest WIP. It's fully written, reviewed by a couple close friends and my wife who all appear in it. I rewrote it until I couldn't look at it anyore.
But on Friday/Saturday it came back from a contracted line editor. And, I have some work to do.
I plan to have it done by July-early August. I need to have it done by then. I’m giving myself a little wiggle room, but not much. I’m hosting a heavy metal party with a live band in mid-Septemer, at which I’m handing out a few free copies of the book.
It must be done by then. And so the big, difficult, final push is on.
Posting here will be less frequent and less substantive.

Brian, why don't you do a post on what Clive Barker thinks of Robert E. Howard, and see what happens? ; )
(ISTR that Barker once wrote a dramatic piece called "A Dream" which cited "Robert E. Howard's Conan" as one of its influences, so it seems Barker has some interest in REH's work).
Or a post on what Stephen King thinks Clive Barker thinks about Robert E. Howard?
Right on, Brian.
Best!
