Those of you who have signed up at http://www.farrellworlds.com for the Very Occasional Newsletters already know this -- and if you haven’t signed up, why not, since you get to Know Things First and can scoop all your friends (don’t you love it when you can say “I know something you don’t know, nyah, nyah, nyah!”), and sometimes there are contests for Free Swag (“Look what I got that you didn’t get, nyah, nyah, nyah”) and you also occasionally have access to ‘hidden’ pages on the website (“Hah! I get to read what you can’t read, nyah, nyah, nyah!”), and this sentence has gone on so long that I don’t even remember if it’s supposed to have a question mark or period on the end.
Why don’t you sign up now, before your social status is lower than that of a flatulent hamster?
But…
I’ve just signed the contracts for this: DAW Books will be bringing out my first three novels, SLOW FALL TO DAWN, DANCE OF THE HAG, and A QUIET OF STONE, in an omnibus edition in May of 2013. The omnibus will be entitled ASSASSINS’ DAWN: The Hoorka Trilogy. Here’s a “back cover blurb” that will give the background of the books:
It’ll be nice to see the books back in print again after three decades or so…
In the meantime, I’m also working on the final revisions for DAEMON HEART, which I hope to give to DAW before the end of the year. Hopefully, it’ll be out in late 2013/early 2014 if all goes well. But more on that later (and if you’re on the newsletter list, you’ll get it first.)
Nyah, nyah, nyah and all that!

The omnibus will be entitled ASSASSINS’ DAWN: The Hoorka Trilogy. Here’s a “back cover blurb” that will give the background of the books:
Neweden is a world whose gods are death and fate, and it’s here that the Hoorka have arisen: a guild of assassins, whose single law is that the victim must always retain a tiny but finite chance of escape. If the victim can survive until dawn, they may go free. But the rich and powerful don’t care to have their will thwarted, and so the Hoorka must deal with the consequences of their own ethics. Gyll, the leader of the Hoorka, also has dreams of taking the guild offworld into the growing society of the Alliance, which is trying to reconstruct a shattered, worlds-spanning empire. Is that dream a genuine possibility, or will exposure to other cultures doom the Hoorka entirely? Gyll must confront internal struggles within his own people, the dangerous politics of Neweden, and the twinned threat and promise of the Alliance. The Hag of Death dances around them, mockingly. Can the Hoorka survive to see the dawn of their own success, an Assassins’ Dawn?
