Tad is currently finishing his revisions to Deborah’s first draft of The Dragons Of Ordinary Farm, as well as writing Shadowrise (Shadowmarch Book 3). His book with the artist Paul Storey – a short (for Tad) novel based on Wagner’s The Ring Cycle and the Nibelungen tales – will be written in 2008. Tad has recently written an introduction to Gormenghast, the second volume of the Gormenghast trilogy, to be reissued by Overlook Press.

Deborah is working with Tad on The Dragons Of Ordinary Farm, writing her first draft of the second book in the series (working title: A Witch At Ordinary Farm), and producing this web site. She is also intermittently working on Urchin’s Luck, another collaboration for which a (currently overlong) first draft exists. Urchin’s Luck is Tailchaser's Song with raccoons.
