I'm kind of surprised there hasn't been a pastiche where one of Conan's offspring comes to usurp daddy.

Maybe one could be at the head of a mighty Stygian army, the son being the unholy offspring of Conan and a Stygian sorceress, who had her way with him through sorcery to birth a child of awesome physical power and terrible sorcerous energy.  Conan is torn: he is his own flesh and blood, yet he is corrupted by his Stygian upbringing, forsaking Crom for Set?

That'd be really interesting, for a pastiche.

But as I said, I've talked to the folks, and no one is really biting on new Conan books...with him in them anyways.
If this isn't so, lemme know.

Well, thanks for reading GODFORSAKEN and your honest opinions. Yeah, it was supposed to be woad Thre were alot fo weird gremlins discovered later and I am sorry for that. My porse and styel has devloped quite a bit since I did thsi one as well. Glad you like dit.

BTW, if you liked it, I have a collection from Carnifex Press coming out later in the year called THOROUGHBRED....with a big novella in it and a few barbarian tales to back it up. IT features the cahracetr in the forthcomng Brian Keene & Steven Shrewsbury novel KING OF THE BASTARDS at a younger age.

MIDNIGHT SUN from Night Shade is a terrific collect...in tales and production quality. These tales shouldn't be missed.

If you consdier yourself a S&S or fantasy fan and have never read these stories, I dunno what to say other than YOU ARE MISSING OUT! THey are strong, bad ass, powerful stuff.

didn't Zenobia die in childbirth to a second daughter?

I had an idea for a lost son of Conan returning to Aquilonia to claim the throne...but no one was biting on new Conan material....so the idea has mutated (oddly enough) into another novel about a different guy

Thanks for the endorsement, though

Some have asked me why I "put" certain things in tales or books.
Well, honestly, I never set out to see how many nipples I can mention, nor how many heads I can make roll in the grass. The story tells itself. I have no agenda inb that regard. I think most folks bury IDEAS or IDEALS in their work, but I never set out to make it too sexually explicit. Then again, sometimes, I only plan to drink 6 beers...

After I completed a new horror novel, I proudly told my wife, "Hey, dear, NO ONE gets laid in it!" But I never SET OUT to make it so in the beginning.
I think barbarians just do that sorta thing...I guess...since the ideal of Celtic paradise was to fight and fornicate forever.

Beats needlepoint in purgatory...
