In The News: Hellmaw, Engagement Rings, and More

Welcome to Hellmaw!

In case you missed it, Ed Greenwood, the writer of the Forgotten Realms and hundreds of other fantasy novels, has launched his own publishing company, Onder Librum. Within Onder Librum, Ed has developed 15 new worlds, in which authors, new and old, are creating hundreds of new works. As you know, I am one of those authors. But I'm not in the news. Hellmaw is.

Hellmaw is the first of Ed's new worlds to be released to the public; it is a world of daemons who live among us, and now, in a time of urgency, may have plans for us. There are currently six Hellmaw novels available to the public, with the seventh releasing next month, and over 20 more coming over the next year or two. So take a look and maybe give one a read.
