Mental Secrets of Odysseus

Age of Bronze colorist John Dallaire created another in his series of advertisements parodying old comic book ads. For more humorous material from John, see his website here, The Off Register.

To celebrate, I'm discounting orders of the first three color books in the Age of Bronze graphic novel series--A Thousand Ships, Sacrifice, and Betrayal Part One. For a limited time, get all three books for the low price of $45 (plus shipping). And I'll autograph each one! Click here to get this exclusive deal at the Hungry Tiger Press webstore.

Of Dread, Decay and Doom from Stars and Sabers

Stars and Sabers Publishing has released an anthology of new horror short stories by authors from around the world. Of Dread, Decay and Doom includes a new horror story by me, "Courage: an Oz Story."

"Courage" picks up where L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz left off, with the Winged Monkeys taking the Cowardly Lion to the forest where he's been acclaimed king. A giant spider, ten times larger than the one the Lion killed near the end of The Wizard of Oz, has arrived to terrorize the forest. Can the Lion, with his newly won courage granted by the Wizard, defeat the monster spider?

Of Dread, Decay and Doom was edited by Jendia Gammon, Gareth L. Powell, and Scarlett R. Algee. Authors of the book's stories include: Eugen Bacon, Patrick Barb, James Bennett, Renan Bernardo, Katrina Carruth, Vincent V. Cava, Andrew K. Clark, P.A. Cornell, Dennis K. Crosby, Nicole Field, KC Grifant, Jamal Hodge, Somto Ihezue, Pedro Iniguez, John Hornor Jacobs, Alice James, Ai Jiang, Helen Glynn Jones, Red Lagoe, Ruth Frances Long, Sarah L. Miles, Lee Murray, Cassandra Newbould, Justine Norton-Kertson, Amadin Ogbewe, Chris Panatier, David Quantick, Eden Royce, Eric Shanower, Riley Silverman, Diogo Silva Ramos, Mark Stay, Casey Stegman, Angela Sylvaine, Eugenia Triantafyllou, Tim Waggoner, Kali Wallace, and J.L. Worrad.
