Fire and Sleet
A novelette-length sequel to "A Book of Silences", in which we find out what happened to the phoenix, among other things.
Payment in Full
Preview of a novella in Black Gate 12, due out in Summer 2008. It's a sequel to both "The Lawless Hours" and "Payment in Full" and I think the always-brilliant Chuck Lukacs really outdid himself with the portrait of Morlock and Fasra

UPDATE: The whole story is now available through the Pyr Sample Chapters blog here.
An entire story, originally appeared in the Flashing Swords E-Zine Annual. Unfortunately the publisher, Pitch-Black, has since gone out of business not, I hope, as a result of publishing a Morlock story. A somewhat different version of this story is appeared this year in The Return of the Sword, from the revivified Flashing Swords Press. But I decided to leave this version up here, in part because it has already been reviewed by the (I think) discerning Francophonic S&S fan Fabien Lyraud, who describes Morlock as a "hybride reussi de Conan et de Sherlock Holmes," and adds, "On se rend compte qu'avec la sword and sorcery on peut creer des histoires complexes avec des situations simples. En plus l'auteur evite le manicheisme."A Covenant with Death at Flashing Swords 6Rich Horton picked this as his favorite story of the issue.Payment DeferredAnother online preview, this time for issue 9 of Black Gate . Shane Jiraiya Cummings reviewed issue 9 at Horrorscope saying (in part), "Enge plunges the reader into a world of intrigue, where the battle is one of wits rather than brawn, but just as deadly. 'Payment Deferred' is a chess match of a story, and one well delivered by Enge."Turn Up This Crooked WayAn online preview of my first published story. It was selected by Rich Horton for his Virtual Best of 2005 . Thomas Marcinko wrote of it at Tangent Online, "Things that should not work, this author makes work, with magic-realism shimmer."
