This week’s release features the fantasy adventure of a pair of young lovers as they try to make their name in the world. Unfortunately, timing is everything and theirs just plain sucks…or does it? In the midst of conflict lies opportunity, if you can survive long enough to grasp it. Please enjoy this fun novelette [...]

I am very pleased to present today’s release by Lindsey Duncan. Fatecraft introduces her character Pazia Ke’Lieren, a daserii (dice maker) with a special touch and a knack for finding trouble. Lindsey’s style is clear, clean, and easy to immerse yourself in. I hope you will all enjoy this tale as much as I have [...]

Today’s release is courtesy of Maria Schneider, who has been a font of knowledge that I have leaned on during the restart of Evolutions. Aside from being a talented author with a gift for empathetic characters and gripping plots, she is also an experienced hand with the ins and outs of e-book publishing. A great [...]

It gives me a great pleasure to kick off the Darwin’s Evolutions’ Legacy Project today with The Last Arrow of Liang Xi by Brian Dolton. The Legacy Project is my attempt to do justice to the prose and art that initially filled the pages and web site of Darwin’s Evolutions: A Journal of Speculative Fiction [...]

Another of my short stories has released via Naked Reader this morning.  The title is “Black Feather, Bright Heart“.  This tale is something of a classic fantasy piece pitting the realms of magic and fairie against humanity and a lone defender who must make hard choices.  Once again, I am very fortunate to have an [...]

Yay!  We’re making progress! No, really.  We are.  Quit shaking your head.  I’m not lying. So, we’re up to 19 pieces of fiction in the incoming pile.  Better yet, the art is starting to roll in, too.  Al Sirois and Karl Nordman have turned in their illustrations for The Bight and Big-T respectively.  John Dotogowski’s [...]

Immortal Witch, Pure Hearted Boy, Blood Thirsty Mermaids There is no point in denying that most manga that hits popularity in the States is based on Japanese high school students and various stereotypes thereof.  The classic coming of age tale, in all the various flavors (both tame and tawdry) play out in the crucible of [...]

Dave Freer is one of my favourite authors – hence my pushing of Save the Dragons. He writes books that are fun to read and yet possess layers of plot, character and thought-provoking stuff to make you come back and reread. I have in fact read his latest, Dragon’s Ring, at least twice since I [...]

This book has been a long time coming for fans of Lars Walker’s character, Father Aillil and his Norse sponsor and friend, Erling Skjalgsson.  Thankfully, Lars kept up the good fight and obtained a new publisher (Nordskog Publishing, Inc) who has done this latest novel the justice it deserves.  Released in a wonderfully comfortable trade [...]

This is not your average Disney anthropomorphic pink-fluffy-soft-headed adventure story. Which means that it’s already off to a good start. The Mice Templar: The Prophecy is a high-quality hard-bound collection of graphic novel episodes that introduces the reader to the world of The Mice Templar.  Prepare yourself for a world where mice defend the night and [...]
