Here is a piece penned by Bradley herself, introducing much of her work:<\/p>\n

I know, this is the 21st<\/sup> century, and we\u2019re virtually obliged to promote ourselves shamelessly, because internet. But I don\u2019t do shameless<\/em> very well. I\u2019m either very shy and modest, or secretly think the world should perceive my fabulousness without me having to point it out. Either way, I have to get over it. So here goes.<\/p>\n

Books, books, books. For a quarter-century or more, I\u2019ve been bouncing back and forth between writing fiction and doing archaeology: a trilogy here, a dig there, some short stories or an ARKY course in another place. Now, thanks to Jonathan Pearce at Onus\/LOOM<\/a>, I\u2019m getting the collected works up in digital and POD form, re-edited, repackaged, and\u2014well\u2014out there in the ineffable cloud.<\/p>\n

\"books2\"<\/a>The Lateral Truth: An Apostate\u2019s Bible Stories<\/em><\/strong>: Short stories looking at some Biblical narratives sideways, upside down, and with a markedly jaundiced eye, originally published as a trade paperback by Scroll Press in Prince George. \u00a0I have also put some of the shorter stories up on this blog over the last few years, but some of them were just too damn long. And now here they all are, in one convenient, blasphemous, downloadable\u00a0package.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"books4\"<\/a>Cadon, Hunter<\/em><\/strong>: The first new novel after a long hiatus doing other things. An ancient world fantasy that draws on everything I ever taught my Introductory Archaeology students, but without an exam at the end. Includes a rather irreverent take on the origins of religions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Gil Trilogy<\/em><\/strong>: Lady in Gil<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>Scion\u2019s Lady<\/em><\/a>,Lady Pain<\/a><\/em>. First published by Gollancz in the nineties and Ace in the 2000s, and now at last in electronic form after ten years of other people bugging me about it.<\/p>\n

\"books3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"books6\"<\/a>From Hades with Love<\/em><\/strong>: In Hong Kong in the nineties, I did a spot of desktop publishing that resulted in two volumes of short horror\/suspense stories, only some of which were set in HK. I\u2019m gradually re-editing and sorting them semi-logically into different volumes, with the addition of a number of new stories. This volume is the first.<\/p>\n

  1. My author\u2019s page<\/a> on amazon, under the name Rebecca J. Bradley. Note that there are at least two other amazon authors named Rebecca Bradley. I\u2019m not the one in England<\/a>writing police procedurals; and I\u2019m especially not the one in Kansas<\/a> who penned a \u201cstep-by-step guide to Redemption, as well as activities to put God\u2019s Redeeming Powers to action in your everyday lifestyle\u201d\u2014though I was quite entertained by the coincidence.<\/li>\n
  2. Interview with the writer B. Morris Allen, editor of Metaphorosis<\/a>, on the publication ofCadon, Hunter<\/em>, and why it took so bloody long to get another novel out after the Gil trilogy was published. Some issues of atheism and skepticism are also addressed.<\/li>\n
  3. Interview<\/a> with Jonathan Pearce on Patheos; and an interesting additional commentary<\/a> on the same interview from the archaeologist and writer Jason Colavito<\/a>, invaluable go-to guy for solid skeptical looks at fringe archaeology and pseudohistory.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
