The Unrepentant (Skharr DeathEater #6)(61)
Author: Michael Anderle

That didn't answer anything and he suppressed a sigh and reminded himself that he was dealing with a god he was supposed to be on good terms with. He had a feeling that many out there wouldn't mind seeing him dead, so it was a pleasant change of pace to be able to face it squarely. If that changed, he already had the attention of far too many of his as yet faceless enemies for it to be a comfortable situation.

Janus would probably be the first in line to try to kill him, no matter what favors had been done for him.

He paused to pour a little more koffe into his mug. The brew was oddly addicting, even if it was sweeter than he would have liked.

"Well, out with it," he said gruffly. "What do we have to face this time?"

Theros looked at him like he had dreaded coming to the point from the very beginning. There was no escaping it now, however.

"A dragon."

The two words made the barbarian’s blood run cold as he paused in mid-sip, narrowed his eyes, and shook his head. After a moment, he also flung the contents of his mug into the fire.

"Well…fuck."

Author Notes - Michael Anderle

May 12, 2021

Thank you for reading both this story and these author notes at the end.

We are in book 06 of a larger story arc about this world.

Right now, we have the 7th book of Skharr DeathEater just turned into the beta readers (go gently on us!) and are just about to have the second book of War Axe by Aaron Schneider and me into the beta readers as well.

Once those four books are out, you will see the first book of The Barbarian Princess hit the ‘Zon.

At that point, our first thirteen books will have been released on Skharr’s side of the world. However, hints about how magic arrived “over here” have been placed in the stories, and we will turn our focus to the other side of the world.

And the story of the twin peaks.

These stories will be much larger, with a minimum of 150,000 words, and we are trying our very first hardback for the release of book 01 at the end of this year.

That story, revolving around a young thief who has a heart too good for her own future, is more a fantasy story since it focuses on a young mage who throws away a chance to live a mundane life for a shot at greatness.

Or death… Yeah, probably death.

During those releases, we will come back to Skharr DeathEater with Skharr 08.

So, I can tell you that LMBPN has planned a minimum of fourteen regular-sized books and six massive fantasies, all evolving on this same world.

The world of a canny barbarian, Skharr DeathEater.

AUDIO ROCKS!

So, I just got through with the first audio production of Skharr DeathEater #1 (Amazon link) last night while packing for my trip.

I’m presently at 31,500 feet, heading towards Texas for our son’s graduation.

I mention this because I’ve now read that story at least three times, twice before publication and at least once after.

Yet I still loved the audio version.

I admit I was a bit annoyed to find out the second book wasn’t out yet on audio. To all of you who (like me) are impatiently waiting, thank you for supporting LMBPN’s audio efforts with our partners.

Your support in listening to our audio helps a lot!

What if Skharr goes to tv or movie?

I’d love it.

While I admit I’m not as much of a film or tv (cable) viewer as most, I still enjoy certain stories. I am aware that Conan and Red Sonja are both slated for video / movie adaptations, as well as there being many YouTube and cable shows with a barbarian main character.

Including a puppet / muppet show, of all things.

I suspect we (all of us creating new sword & sorcery content) will benefit from a new infusion of fans. I didn’t create this series thinking it would become a huge hit. No, I created it because I like the genre and missed any new stories that I enjoyed.

Really, no characters I enjoyed.

Perhaps that is why I keep coming back to Skharr. He is a character in a world that is a bit removed from ours.

While I’m happy that we seem to be doing ok with the sales, I am beyond ecstatic to read your reviews (yes, I do peek from time to time). Like me, others care about this type of story.

There might not be a hundred thousand or a million of us right now, but just know that I’m one of them.

Book 07

You have just read the setup for Skharr DeathEater Book 07, the Barbarian Princess. Cassandra is a favorite character of mine (as is Sera, but for different reasons.)

I just got finished reading the last chapter on this story yesterday. I’m ready to go back and reread the whole unedited book once more.

I think you will like it… A lot.

‘Til the next Skharr Book (or any of my other series with or without collaborators)!

Ad Aeternitatem,

Michael Anderle
