Ahem! That is to say I have signed up with legendary SF\/F publisher DAW books, who will publish three books set in my 1001 Nights-inspired heroic fantasy world The Crescent Moon Kingdoms (the setting for my short stories \u201cWhere Virtue Lives\u201d and \u201cJudgment of Swords and Souls\u201d).<\/strong> While selling my first novel to any major publisher would be a thrill, DAW represents a particularly exciting \u2013<\/p>\n

On the strength of stories like Hooves and the Hovel of Abdel Jameela<\/a><\/strong> and Mister Hadj’s Sunset Ride<\/a><\/strong>, Saladin Ahmed is quickly becoming one of my favourite short fiction writers. In a genre that so often relies on familiarity and conventions, Ahmed makes every effort to explore mythologies and cultures ignored by other writers. Needless to say, I’m thrilled that Ahmed has found a home for his longer fiction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
