UK Orbit is releasing an e-book version of Unfettered: Tales by Masters of Fantasy, and it goes on sale today! Edited by Shawn Speakman, this anthology pulls from some of the best authors writing fantasy today including Terry Brooks, Brandon Sanderson, Patrick Rothfuss, Mark Lawrence, Naomi Novik, Michael J. Sullivan, Jacqueline Carey and Lev Grossman. It also includes Peat’s short story entitled “Mudboy”.
You can pre-order the Kindle version here.
For those of you who don’t know, Unfettered is an anthology, edited by Shawn Speakman, and published by Grim Oak Press. It is not only a fantastic round-up of some of the best contemporary fantasy authors today, but also a touching story about the fantasy writing community. Overwhelmed by medical debts after battling Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Speakman got creative. Fantasy authors donated original, never-before-published stories to the themeless anthology now known as Unfettered.
Don’t forget to enter the Warding Contest! The Grand Prize includes a hardcover copy of Unfettered.
Also, author Michael J. Sullivan is having an awesome contest for the audio version of the anthology and one of his own books.

Catch up with Peat as he has fun with chalkboards and continues work on The Skull Throne.
- @PVBrett – When people say “No pun intended”, the pun is intended.
- @PVBrett – Holy shit do I love this new chalkboard wall @_laurenagreene & I set up. http://t.co/2NSzpJ9Ryn
- @PVBrett – Will Cassie win the Wonder Woman Challenge & unlock her costume before the school superhero dance party next week? http://t.co/eipbDm4brV
- @PVBrett – Brilliant! RT @ctmvrf I didn’t know they made dry erase paint! I want to paint a tabletop for a gaming table now.
- @PVBrett – Breach Zone by Myke Cole is #20 in Amazon’s “Space Marine” subgenre. So good space marine fans don’t mind lack of space and/or marines.
- @PVBrett – Cassie’s off to a good start, but the challenges will get harder… http://t.co/mvqmrFfGdo
- @PVBrett – In parenting you may have a great victory on the field, but every day the battle begins anew.
- @PVBrett – Need to psyche myself up to write story endings. Even when I know what happens. Pace restlessly for days before I can write final pages.
- @PVBrett – When I ponder the weaknesses of portable ward circles, it’s a wonder Messengers ever make it anywhere. Good thing demons ent so smart.
- @PVBrett – Wonder Girl is going to rock the school Superhero Dance: http://t.co/q6xGw0giYC
- @PVBrett – Just used my nausea and the stabbing pain in my left eye to predict it would snow tomorrow. Forecast agrees.#worstsuperpowerever
- @PVBrett – Cassie went up to her friend this morning and asked him if he wanted to play superheroes at recess. #geekdadwin
- @PVBrett – Endearing nerd moment of Author D&D: When all 3 DM’s sorted their own dice from a scattered table in just seconds.
- @PVBrett – I empathize with Inevera’s feelings for her alagai hora. My D&D dice are deeply personal talismans of past adventures.
- @PVBrett – This is why everyone loves @PatrickRothfuss https://t.co/2yYqkQeohK
- @PVBrett – Always been annoyed at underrepresentation of women in comic merch but now that I have a daughter who loves superheroes, I’m getting pissed.
- @PVBrett – Dialogue tagging. A constant, tedious misery of writing.#skullthrone
- @PVBrett – Wherein my agent eviscerates Hugh Howey’s BS self pub manifesto. MT @awfulagent: Lies & Self-Publishing Statistics. http://t.co/aJOgk8vy5f
- @PVBrett – I think I am genetically incapable of buying new socks until the ones I have literally fall apart. And maybe not even then.
- @PVBrett – Story is conflict. Storytelling by its very nature causes authors to have characters behave in ways they don’t necessarily agree with.
- @PVBrett – Scooby Doo and the Case of the Zombie Apocalypse by @jeffzoet is the coolest thing I’ve seen all day: http://t.co/8P82yiQ1tC
- @PVBrett – Today’s #skullthrone project: Help Rojer is face some problems he’s been running from since book 1…
- @PVBrett – I just spent 100 words describing Rojer’s clothes. What am I becoming?
Be sure to follow Peat’s Facebook and Twitter for updates on all things Demon Cycle. And don’t forget to enter the Warding Contest by the end of February for some fantastic prizes.

The Warded Man is currently getting some screen time in Quebrith’s short Polish film: KONIEC GRANIA – CZAS CZYTANIA (END PLAY – READING TIME). You can vote for the film on the festival website. Voting ends on February 16th at midnight GMT+1.
Here’s what Quebrith said about his film:
One fateful day, I was disturbing my fiancé during her “The Warded Man” read. Have a look what happened …
I decided to submit this clip to a Nikon competition and thought that maybe Arlen’s fans can aid me a little. The only thing you need to do is click the black button under the clip -> “GLOSUJE NA TEN FILM”

Hilarious. I often feel this way when I am reading a good book. Don’t forget to vote!
