After I finished Wraithbound I came to the dreadful conclusion that I've finished all of your Eldar short stories. I've enjoyed them all tremendously, so I'm terribly curious to know if you're planning on writing more of them? (Or are they perhaps building towards for a full Eldar novel?)

J.C. Stearns Absolutely! In addition to Wraithbound, Past in Flames, Turn of the Adder, The Marauder Lives, and of course, The Oubliette, I've got several new piec…moreAbsolutely! In addition to Wraithbound, Past in Flames, Turn of the Adder, The Marauder Lives, and of course, The Oubliette, I've got several new pieces in the queue. Unfortunately, the entire mess that was 2020 rearranged a lot of the publishing schedule, so I don't have any clue when my next piece is going to come out!

I'm not working on another novel yet, but hopefully I'll get to do another one soon!(less)

(Like a Final Destination-y cascade involving a tractor, a mowing attachment, a telephone pole, and a downed power line.) No one knows how or what PRECISELY happened, and that would be an interesting one to know the answer behind.(less)

Quotes by J.C. Stearns (?)

“I did it all!’ Naeddre laughed. His blows hammered away at K’Shaic, who was desperately defending himself from his son’s ruthless onslaught. ‘I slaughtered, and I killed. Millions wept. But I did what I did because there wasn’t another option . I am a true son of Commorragh – if damnation is all that remains to me, I will drape it about myself like a cloak of regency, I will drink and savour it like a fine wine. But to choose damnation when salvation is not just an option, but freely offered? That’s nothing more than the terrified cowardice of an old man too afraid of the future to unmire himself from a past that’s eating him alive.”
― J.C. Stearns, Turn of the Adder

“He still made art, but it was writ in blood and spilled viscera across a hundred warzones. He wasn’t even sure he remembered how to paint.”
