"I killed Hertzan Chimera (in name) back in 2004 and though I've tried to deny it I've always been writing Hertzan Chimera novels. Before and since his demise. I have now accepted that I write Hertzan Chimera novels and this will be rectified with the re-issuing of all my work under this pseudonym."  -- Mike Philbin, August 2015.
