Along with the five novels coming on April 23rd, I'm releasing several short stories as well. Some are Verona-related, some are just things I've been noodling for awhile. A couple are new, a couple have been floating around (yes, SINCERITY will be among them, with brand-spanking new cover art from an amazing artist whom I will feature in the coming days).
One of my personal favorites is the re-release of VARNISHED FACES. It was published by Amazon just a few months after THE MASTER OF VERONA was released, then vanished when the Kindle came into being and Amazon abandoned their digital shorts. This is an important tale in the Verona series, nestled right into the middle of the action of THE MASTER OF VERONA, but it didn't quite fit into the narrative of the novel. But the tale of Bianca Minola's wedding feast stars so many of Shakespeare's Italian characters, it will only be rivaled by next year's novel, THE PRINCE'S DOOM. And it's a confrontation between Antony Capulletto and Marsilio da Carrara.
Here's the new cover, just to whet your appetites!
