I'm rapidly coming to the idea that historical dark fantasy is what I most enjoy writing.

After writing the Watchers trilogy in the early 2000's I spent a while writing other things, namely the Midnight Eye books and some forays into other genres. But this last year I've written a lot of historical based works, like Berserker - a Viking meets Yeti S&S novel, The Valley, a Lost World novel set in 1860's Montana, and numerous short stories, including a Sherlock Holmes story in Gaslight Grotesque, the three Carnacki chapbooks, and an ongoing series featuring Augustus Seton, a sword for hire in 16th Century Scotland..

I seem to get lost more quickly in the "worlds" in these works than I do in stories set in the present day, and when I'm scratching for ideas, it is stories set in other times that come most readily.

So, for the near future at least, I'm going to see where this takes me and stay "elsewhen" for a while.

Wish me luck.
