All of the stories in this collection were written between 2010 and 2011, with the exception of 'Bloodlines', which I had an earlier draft for, but rewrote in this period. Many of the stories in The Splendour of Shadows were almost mini-novellas rather than standard modern short stories, with lengths ranging between 10,000 and 25,000 ...

"The Descent"- illustration by Alena Mana Where you can buy The Pirate Princess : Lulu (hard print copy):  http://www.lulu.com/shop/steven-mace/the-pirate-princess/paperback/product-22049377.html Amazon Kindle (ebook for Kindle version):  http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pirate-Princess-Steven-Mace-ebook/dp/B0057FKOJA Smashwords (ebook version):  http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/295024 The Pirate Princess is a much shorter novel than Copper Moon Rising, almost a novella, and was written during intervals between 2006 and 2010. It's a straight-forward fantasy adventure tale, and I suppose it can be categorised as young adult fiction. Pirates were a popular theme during this period, perhaps due to the success of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean films. The Pirate Princess is set in a fictional unknown fantasy world, in a region that has geographical and cultural aspects similar to Arabia, the Mediterranean and Caribbean locations in centuries past.

The creation of this novel was a stop-start and elongated process. To give you some idea, I started writing it in 1997, and did not finish the published version which is available, until 2010. I started it when I was 18 years old, and eventually finished it when I wa...
