Alyx J Shaw is an irritable rantaholic who enjoys writing, making medieval honey wine, smoking, tarantulas, and raising strange and toxic plants. She shares her seedy apartment with a cat, two tarantulas, three guinea pigs, and pet duck named Master Erestor. She’s pretty sure there is a husband in there somewhere as well, and expects she will find him buried under the laundry the
next time she feels like
doing a washing.
Alyx has worked for newspapers and news radio stations, and her trilogy ‘A Strange Place in Time’ is available from Torquere Press now (click here for more info on that). Alyx has been a practicing Wiccan for ten years, and is one of the few people in Vancouver, British Columbia who actually enjoys the rain.
Updated February 2012
I have a couple little announcements that I hope will make people happy. One is that the sequel to S.P.I.T is mapped out and ready and starting to be written. (By mapped out I mean I have the basic idea in mind and I'll see where it goes from there.) As you recall when the last book ended our intrepid explorers were in their forties - a little older and gamier and jaded...er.... than when the book started. They'd like to retire, but EBIL STRIKES AGAIN!!!!
It should be done by December, at least that is the intended deadline, and available for purchase by summer 2013...
assuming the Mayans were wrong.
Also! There will be a picture book coming out - the
Dargothian Beastiary. This will contain drawings and write-ups
about all the creatures that haunt the Dargothian landscape - everything from the dragons to those damned lizards. There will also be maps of Dargoth, the cities, and possibly one of the Palace itself. This will be published in a limited edition, each copy numbered and signed by yours truly. I'm hoping to have this out in time for Christmas.
