The Remnant Band Preview

The Dark Worlds website has posted an excerpt from my latest short story, The Remnant Band.  This is an all fantasy issue of Dark Worlds and has a great line-up of authors.  (And it's not me that I'm talking about).

Dire Planet in the Bargain Basement

As part of Amazon's Big Deal sale where they've got 900 ebooks on sale in the range of .99 to 3.99, they have marked Dire Planet down to $1.99.  With the release of Strange Gods of the Dire Planet coming down the pike on August 1st, now might be a good time to pick up a Kindle copy of the first novel in the series.

The sale lasts through the 27th of July.

The Remnant Band

Azark, the impetuous outlander hailing from the cliff-dwelling Arcasians, finds a clue to the whereabouts of the man who slew his father. His quest for vengeance sends him headlong into the tower fortress of Governor Icarod where he finds himself face to face with the remnant band--the surviving vestiges of the destroyed Assassins Guild.

The Remnant Band is a tale from the City of Bathos and picks up where my novel Through the Groaning Earth left off.  You can find The Remnant Band and a host of other great stories by excellent authors in issue six of the Pulp-Ark Award nominated Dark Worlds.

Dark Worlds is available in hard copy format for $14.59, or you may want to pick up the bargain digital download for $4.99.

Strange Gods of the Dire Planet

Purchase Me

At long last the fourth book of the Dire Planet series, Strange Gods of the Dire Planet, has a hard release date--August 1st.  Yes, just two weeks away.  Pre-order copies are available at the Pulp Work Press website.  Until August 1st anyone ordering a copy can get a 20% discount by punching in the secret (at least it's a secret if you don't happen to be reading my blog or Facebook postings) discount code of ZUEEWBQV before completing the order.  This discount is only available if you order the book through the Pulp Work Press website.

Two of a Kind

You might not expect to see these two hanging out together in a London tea room, but how about in the California wilderness?  Author, Joshua Reynolds, appears in the latest Lone Crow story, The Shadow Walkers. Read his comments about his role in The Shadow Walkers at Reynolds' Hunting Monsters Blog.

Showdown at Midnight

A missing bag of gold, an encampment full of dead miners, two of the weird west's most infamous gunslingers, Lone Crow and Porter Rockwell, and a trio of murderers that is neither wholly dead nor wholly alive. Science Fiction Trails has just released their latest anthology, Showdown at Midnight, which has The Shadow Walkers--a story written by me--inside of its covers.

This book is available at Amazon, but if you order it direct from the Science Fiction Trails store and punch in the code 2BWNDXLZ when you're ordering you'll get a 20% discount on the purchase price.
