Ready for the next Yancy Lazarus novel (YL6!) we have been looking back through the dungeons at the lost and secret pages of the manuscripts. We will have art inspired by and for each of the legendary beasts and monsters. We hope! Starting with Wendigo Rising...

Hey everyone! So as most of you probably know, I spend a crazy amount of time running Shadow Alley Press with my wife, Jeanette. The publishing side of things definitely keeps me busy--moving and shaking--since I do developmental edits for many of our authors as well as marketing and scheduling a...

“Rip my arms from my body and beat me with them,” Shadowcroft repeated the threat good-naturedly. “That is a most unlikely outcome, but I admire your spunk. Give me just a moment and all shall be made clear.”&...

Rogue Evolution audio just came out this week, which got me thinking about all things Rogue Dungeon.
I've never given this book out on my patreon before but I think it's time I do so. You know, to celebrate Kaz in all his cooking glory. This post is a general post, available to anyone...
2020-06-25 14:14:09 +0000 UTC View PostLogan blinked his eyes open. He was glad he still had eyes but having a head wasn’t so great. A migraine banged away on the inside of his skull.
Where in the hell was he? What happened?
Things were sort of hazy in his head. He remembered teeth, glowing purple tentacles, and a ...

Marine Corps veteran Logan Murray thought mimics were the stuff of board games and dungeon manuals… right up until one ate him.
In a flash of snapping teeth, Logan suddenly finds himself on the doorstep to an...

For some time now I have been working on developing Eldgard and West Viridia.
I have started several projects to enhance your enjoyment of the Viridian Gate Online world, the feel of the earth beneath tour feet and the blue sky above.
Here is phase one, a new all singing, all danc...

The final chapters of Rogue Evolutions are coming this week :) Enjoy and let me know what you think .
2020-04-08 06:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostThere is a new piece of art that I am just itching to reveal.
It's best seen after you have finished Evolution (spoiler alert). As it's a piece based on a main characters....evolution! Ok ok so not much of a spoiler based on the book title. My bad.
Anyway once I have dropped off ...
Rogue Dungeon 4, Evolution is finished. Almost. Maybe just a few more moments in the oven?
So I have for you today a few selections feom the a la carte menu, from Chez Kaz!
Juicy, delicious, tender strips of roasted fantasy, a few light dustings of humour overlaying a deep fried sirloi...
Good morning,
I hope you are all well in these trying times.
We are back home now, having visited Europe last week. Originally it was for the London Book Fair but more on that later.
I'm almost ready to share more of RD4, sorry about the delay.
But....

Rogue Dungeon Interview – eden Hudson
What's it like working with JH (nightmare I know!)?
You know that feeling you got when you were a kid and your friend came to recess with their cool action figures and then you made up this epic story together with them where ev...
Trial and Error
Eyes closed, Randy shook out his hands to relax them and exhaled. Become invisible, but not incorporeal. Do it. Just do it.
He looked down at himself and saw a pocket protector tucked into a button-down shirt with a coffee stain on the sleeve and ...
Initally, for eden and myself , it was just 'Evolutions' or RD4! . We added the longer title after the work was mostly done, bar the final edit.
And then we tinkered with horns and art. Loki horns? Or rams horns?
You'll all find out very soon what we decided on. ...sorry for the c...
School of Night
The School of Night Magick didn’t look as if it belonged in the Troll Nation at all. Its architecture, requested by Ick when Roark added it to the marketplace, was completely different. Rather than the blunt stone construction used in the Cruel Citadel, I...
To celebrate the release of Rogue Evolution, we will have a few exclusive sneak peeks at the cover design process we undergo here at Shadow Alley to bring you what we hope is the best product we can craft.
We will also be getting another exclusive: an interview with the delightful ed...
Order from Chaos
As he headed for the training grounds on the opposite side of the marketplace, Roark realized just how far out of his depth he was. He had spent so long opposing Marek with the resistance that he’d never stopped to ask himself what would happen if they a...
So here you have it guys and gals. Exclusive art, just for your edification and enjoyment. This is the current state RD4! Fresh of the page, straight from the designer.
I would love to hear what you all think of this, and anything else, so please drop me a line if you can.
