Dejanna of the Double Star - Author's copies

 My author's copies of "Dejanna of the Double Star" just arrived. The book looks outstanding, if I do say so, and I do. I'd read it myself, but hey, I wrote it and I already wrote a story, "Barbara Starr, Space Policewoman," about a writer who reads his own work.

"Dejanna of the Double Star" is available in Kindle and paperback.

Dejanna, the great granddaughter of her planet's most beautiful woman and her world's Earth-man Overlord, is stolen by a rejected suitor. Pregnant, she is stranded alone in the wilderness with only her wits to save her from the planet's savage beasts and nomadic warriors. While she seeks safety, her husband searches the dangerous swamps for his wife and unborn child. Their quests put them both on a collision course with the most dangerous and warlike creatures on the planet - the savage Sarapou tribe of Zirkas, a race of gigantic and sentient insectoid beings whose thirst for power and blood is never satisfied. Dejanna must overcome her privileged upbringing and embrace the warrior blood that is her birthright to save herself and her child.

Dejanna of the Double Star

 My newest novel is available in paperback today. "Dejanna of the Double Star" was released this morning. The story's genre is what is described as "Sword and Planet."

I started this novel five years ago as a training exercise because I'd decided to become a writer after my retirement. (Three novels and a couple hundred short stories, so not too bad)

Dejanna's been rewritten several times (thank goodness) and had a couple of name changes along the way. I'm happy with how she turned out.

I'd like to say that if you like Edgar Rice Burroughs, Otis Adelbert Kline, or Ralph Milne Farley, you'll enjoy my book. I hope that's true, but the reader will be the ultimate judge of that statement.

Here's the blurb.

Dejanna, the great granddaughter of her planet's most beautiful woman and her world's Earth-man Overlord, is stolen by a rejected suitor. Pregnant, she is stranded alone in the wilderness with only her wits to save her from the planet's savage beasts and nomadic warriors. While she seeks safety, her husband searches the dangerous swamps for his wife and unborn child. Their quests put them both on a collision course with the most dangerous and warlike creatures on the planet - the savage Sarapou tribe of Zirkas, a race of gigantic and sentient insectoid beings whose thirst for power and blood is never satisfied. Dejanna must overcome her privileged upbringing and embrace the warrior blood that is her birthright to save herself and her child.

The book is $10.99 in paperback and $3.99 cents on Kindle - free to read with Kindle Unlimited. The Kindle version will be available in a couple of days. Order Here

Gypsum Sound Veils released - contains my story, "Service Interruptus."

Gypsum Sound Tales , an Australian publisher of fantasy, horror, science fiction, adventure, and other genres released their newest anthology, "Gypsum Sound Veils." today. This collection of stories about a wedding and what can go right or wrong contains my short story, "Service Interruptus."

The book is a collection of stories that document the marriage of Guy Moroney and Matilda Sievert, two lovebirds tying the knot in the fictional St. Thomas the Apostle Church in Sacramento, California. Will their big day be a happy one? Will things go according to plan? You’ll have to read to find out, though knowing the authors who have written these tales, I expect there will be some bumps in the night.

The book is available in paperback and on Kindle. It's free to read with Kindle Unlimited.

Rie Sheridan Rose, one of my favorite writers and editors, contributed the wonderfully clever story, ‘Going Native.’ At the risk of giving too much away, she employs a role reversal in her engaging tale. "Who's the human here?

Rie Sheridan Rose multitasks. Her short stories appear in numerous anthologies, including On Fire, Hides the Dark Tower, and Killing It Softly Vol. 1 and 2. She has authored twelve novels, six poetry chapbooks, and lyrics for dozens of songs.

On a personal note, she's been very supportive of my work in her capacity as an editor. I admire her patience.

“Mutiny on the Moonbeam” is one of her novels. Here’s the link:

Stuart Conover

is today's featured writer. His cross genre contribution, "Elsie's Ward," is a combination of horror and high fantasy. Stuart reinforces an important lesson. Never, ever, piss off a dragon.

Stuart's website,www.horrortree.com has been a constant source of information and inspiration.

Stuart Conover is a father, husband, rescue dog owner, horror author, blogger, journalist, horror enthusiast, comic book geek, science fiction junkie, and IT professional. With all of that to cram in on a daily basis, it is highly debatable that he ever is able to sleep and rumors have him attached to an IV drip of caffeine to get through most days.

A resident in the suburbs of Chicago, most of Stuart’s fiction takes place in the Midwest if not the Windy City itself. From downtown to the suburbs to the cornfields - the area is ripe for urban horror.

'Oceans' was released on April 14th, 2020, and contains five of his drabbles: “His Last Days at Sea”, “Lost Beneath the Waves”, “The Last Resort,” “The Lost Isles,” and “The Self-Sustaining Outpost.”

'Solitude' was released on January 14th, 2020, and reprints his story "We Lost Charlie Today" which was originally released in 'Soul Survivors Volume II.'

'Horror USA: California' was released on December 13th, 2019, and reprints his story "Fry Machete's Monsters, Munchies, and Mayhem" which was originally released in 'Dead of Winter.'
