New KORVIX collection
I have collected all of Korvix's previously published adventures into one volume, and arranged them chronologically for easier reading. Two of the tales - D'Nu's Children and The Fiend in the Bowl have been rewritten to change from present to past tense, which suits the genre much better in my humble opinion. The ebook is now available for pre-order , to be published 12th December 2025, the same day as a chunky paperback edition will also go on sale. If you haven't tried Korv

Korvix is out for adventure
"Black Rain, Grey Snow and Red Death" was first published in Savage Realms Monthly magazine issue # 33 , while "Korvix and the Heart of Darkness" was first published at the webzine Swords & Heroes . I decided to make both tales available in one volume for the purists that like to collect an entire series, and have published them in ebook and paperback. For now they are only available through Amazon and Kindle Unlimited.
