Guest Post: Beauty in Ruins

As part of the Virtual Tour for the Thunder on the Battlefield anthologies, my Guest Post is up at Beauty in Ruins. Click here to learn a bit about my inspiration for the story – and the concerns I had soon after I’d submitted it to editor James Tuck…


“The Blighted” – Story acceptance

It was great to hear today that my short story “The Blighted” will feature in 100 Doors To Madness, an anthology from Forgotten Tomb Press. The publisher describes the project as “a horror anthology of flash and micro fiction celebrating the diversity of the genre. 100 scares. 100 authors. 100 ways to creep into readers’ minds”. I understand that the book will be released in both paperback and e-book formats, and should be out later this month.

This one definitely won’t be for the faint-hearted!

Review of “Mark of the Warrior”/Thunder on the Battlefield: Sorcery (Vol. 2) by Amazing Stories

Very pleased to see that reviewer Keith West of Amazing Stories enjoyed the anthology, citing “Mark of the Warrior” as one of five “standout” tales from the twelve included! The full review can be found here.

(Also, the review for Volume 1 (Sword) is here.)


“The Masterless” – Story acceptance

It is with great delight that I announce my novelette “The Masterless” will be included in Hero’s Best Friend: An Anthology of Animal Companions (Seventh Star Press). The book should be out later in the year, in both print and ebook versions. I’ll keep you posted on release dates etc.


HAPPY THOR’S DAY! (or it’s release day so getcher sword and sorcery hot off the digital presses!)

So I had this hankering about, ohhhhh, a year ago. I wanted a sword and sorcery anthology, done right by a press who would not only appreciate the genre but actively enjoy it, that I could submit a story to. I have this character Theok who is a Northland barbarian living and adventuring in a sword and sorcery version of the Old Testament. He is a follower of Yahweh translated through his upbringing as a barbarian so he views and serves Him as a warrior God. It’s like what the Bible would be like if written by Robert E. Howard.

Anyways, I have long liked the way Seventh Star Press runs their ship. They put out a top notch product, promote the hell out of it, and their authors are really happy. So I hit up Stephen Zimmer, the go to man for all things Seventh Star, and said to…
