A Discourse in Steel now has a cover! This is the sequel to Paul S. Kemp’s The Hammer and the Blade, an original fantasy series with hilarious and compelling characters. Really great dialog in the first book, and I’m definitely looking forward to this one. You can pre-order your copy here.

Egil and Nix have retired, as they always said they would. No, really—they have! No more sword and hammer-play for them! But when two recent acquaintances come calling for help, our hapless heroes find themselves up against the might of the entire Thieves Guild. And when kidnapping the leader of the most powerful guild in the land seems like the best course of action, you know you’re in over your head….

A Discourse in Steel will be out on June 25 in paperback and digital formats.

Bombad Radio did a nice podcast interview with The Clone Wars voice actor Tom Kane who voices Yoda, Admiral Yularen and does the narration. Tom revealed some pretty interesting things about Yoda, like a Yoda arc for The Clone Wars Season 6 which managed to get George Lucas to reveal a tiny bit of the backstory for the mysterious Jedi master as well as shedding some light on communing with Qui-Gon. Tom did mention that there might be a chance that they’ll finish that arc for a bonus content release, so let’s all keep our fingers crossed as it sounded like a really awesome episode arc. Click here to listen to the full interview. Note it kicks in pretty fast after a little news and introductory matter from the hosts.
