Night Shift and Elves

Night shift at a hotel gives me plenty of time to write! I'll be devoting some of that towards Deathless and hopefully making some major headway soon. In the mean time let me tell you a bit about elves:
The elves of Deathless are one of the two primordial races, with the other being the giants. The primordials were given the ability to adapt to their surroundings over time, and so the elves and giants who stayed in any one location would slowly change to become more in tune with their surroundings.
This all changed two thousand years ago. Using the unwitting Orazio, then after named the Wolf, as his pawn the dark god Nyr tainted the elvish evolutionary process. No longer would the elves grow in harmony with their homes. Instead, after Nyr's curse, they would inevitably transform into the dreaded No'heam, savage predators that could kill dozens of men single handed. For centuries the ignorant elves lost themselves to the beast inside them and for centuries the Midlands were scourged.
Now the elves must live a nomadic life, unwelcome wherever they travel due to the curse their whole race bears. These are the elves of Deathless.

Consolidation

Greetings!

Whew! It has certainly been a while since this site recieved any love! For that I must apologize. I began with the best of intentions, but you know what they say about those and the paths they adorn...
In any case Plotgap Publishing will be back up and running soon. This blog will be the hub where you can find news about the writing of Joshua Kemp and future releases from Plotgap.
I will be re-releasing (and gradually continuing) the tales of Christopher Chance - Sorcerer's Assistant as well as short stories. You can also find news about any new releases or places where my work has been published.
Speaking of which - for anyone interested my first collection of short stories, My Darker Dreams, is now available on Smashwords at As always, thank you to everyone for the support and I hope you enjoy the stories!

Sincerely -
Josh
