Cyber Monday Special


One day only, get 30% off my just-released book, The Gantlet Brothers Greatest Hits.  Normally, you're looking at $11.95 (still a bargain in my completely biased estimation), but if you follow this link and use the discount code 5YRZ6A8W you get 30% off the cover price.

So what's the book about? Here's the back cover blurb:

From the broken and dusty terrain of Egypt's Qattara Depression to the grimy underbelly of New York City, erstwhile rock musicians and guns for hire, the Gantlet Brothers, use charm, blades, bullets, and fists to plow a path through amorous starlets with ill intentions, bounty hunters, a deranged serial killer and terrorists hell-bent on bringing down nuclear annihilation.

These are the Gantlet Brothers' greatest hits collected for the first time and including two never before published stories.

 

This book is just released so there are no reviews out yet.  However, Pulp Fiction Review wrote a piece on the previous Gantlet Brother novel, The Nuclear Suitcase which you can still find at the Pulp Fiction Review Website.

Weird Review


The Big Al's Books and Pals blog has posted a brief review of How the West was Weird (Book One) in which I have a tale about Native American gunslinger Lone Crow coming face to face with a monstrous wyrm from the outer darkness.  Yep, that's why it's called the weird west.

Showdown at Midnight



Here's a brief review/synopsis of Showdown at Midnight in which Native American gunfighter Lone Crow makes an appearance. This review is extracted from Black Petals Issue #57




I found editor David B. Riley’s Western horror collection quite a contrast to the modern and urban. SHOWDOWN AT MIDNIGHT (Tales of Horror and Dark Fantasy from the Weird Weird West) features stories by a wide variety of authors. Although not as polished as Cassiday’s work, it was definitely worth reading. The book goes way beyond "cowboys and Indians" out West, although not quite as far as the summer box office success, "Cowboys and Aliens." Pull up a stool, sip a sarsaparilla, and dig in.


Don D’Amassa’s "The Incorruptible" centers on a Choctaw belief in a haunt that kills and eats up ignorant innocents. The Devil’s bounty hunter plays his cards right in Bill Craig’s "A Ghost of a Chance." Comanche phantoms and murdered miners go for the gold in Joel Jenkins’ "The Shadow Walkers." Sam Kepfield mixes Civil-War era science and superstition in the wolvishly clever "Lycaon Unbound." The cover with zombie gunman derives from Henrik Ramsager’s humorous "Low Noon." Another ironic piece, about Annie Oakley on vacation, proved to be my favorite—"The Great Ghost Train Robbery" by Jennifer Campbell-Hicks. This was followed by the morose but satisfying haunted-sword tale, "Samurai Blade," by John M. Whalen. "Wolves of the Comancheria" by Carol Hightshoe is a poignant narration by a female warrior ghost, Wolf Shadow, who delivers vengeance. M. H. Bonham warns us about the dangers of "The Banshee Mine." The final three offerings are: Jennifer Brozek’s "A Promise Made," with a ghost sheriff helping another ghost settle a score; Aaron B. Larson’s "Belfry’s in Your Bats," about an unholy attack on General Grant; and the editor’s "Night Thunder," about a hellish horse.


Cover art for SHOWDOWN AT NIDNIGHT is by Russell Morgan. Print and layout are nice, and Mr. Riley did a good job with the bios in back.

Four Bullets for Dillon is now available on Kindle for $2.99.  This book includes four adventures of global instigator and troublemaker Dillon and includes a team-up (co-written by me and Derrick Ferguson) with erstwhile rock guitarist Sly Gantlet where they battle against a group of mercenaries who lead them into a trap baited by their own titanic egos.
