| Find it Here! |
It's been a bit of a while, so today I wanted to introduce you to two new anthologies, both of which I am part of. What's more, both will be out very soon!
The first is the brand new Swords & Maidens anthology, stories about chivalry, love, and the wonder of romance. My story, "Judgement Sun" (which was once in the now OOP Planetary Sol anthology) is once again being made available for readers here! For those who haven't read it, this tale is still one of my personal favorites that I wrote. This is a story about a desert planet on the brink of Armageddon. Can it be saved? I am extremely thrilled that it will be widely available again. But this is not just about me, as you can see from the author list above.
Check out this collection of tales from Anne Clare, Declan Finn, T. J. Marquis, N. R. LaPoint, John C. Wright, Blake Carpenter, Hawkings Austin, Michael Gallagher, Alexander Hellene, and L. Jagi Lamplighter! Aside from my story, you are getting top notch tales from each of them. As you can already tell, this is quite the lineup!
Here is the description:
From magic battlefields where horses fear to tread, to flying fortresses, fantastical otherworlds, a planet infested with eldritch abominations, and lands ruled by fear, heroes will fight for what is worth fighting for. Knights in gleaming armor, soldiers, Middle Earth’s most deadly Elvish assassin, hunters, and kings. All will risk their lives to defend the defenseless, to destroy monsters, to preserve the lives and honor of fair maidens.
See a soldier fight to rescue a besieged princess from marauding, magitech barbarians, an immortal knight fight for a farmstead, a husband and wife fight for the honor of a fallen comrade against a deadly dragon, a hunter seek to recover a maiden’s stolen soul, an elf defend a woman from assassins, a deposed king fight for his kingdom, and more!
You can preorder it right now on amazon before the official release date of March 19th. That's right, it's only a month out. Swords & Maidens: Eleven Tales of Chivalry is available at amazon to preorder right now here.
For more on the actual stories included, check out the below images for fun art and excerpts created by our editor, N. R. LaPoint!
Once again, you can find Swords & Maidens for preorder here!
But that's not all! There's still another announcement to be made.
I will also be having a story in the upcoming Sidearm & Sorcery, Volume Two from the same folks that brought you StoryHack magazine and the very well received first volume! Get ready for more action and adventure in the classic mold, only set in the modern day! This ain't no pretend pulp you'll be reading in these pages.
As stated above, this is the sequel to last year's surprise hit anthology on sword and sorcery tales in modern settings. If you haven't yet read the first volume (you are definitely missing out if you haven't!) you can find it here. I also have a story in its pages, one in the same Night Rhythm series which has had other entries published in StoryHack #5 and Pulp Rock! The tale in Volume Two is something brand new, not a part of that series.
The story in Volume Two is called "City Eater" and was called by Bryce Beattie, the editor, as one of the best stories I've yet written. High praise, but this is quite a story. For those who have read Y Signal, see if you can spot the connection. You don't need to have read the book to see it, but it does add to the events of the story.
As for what it's about, I don't think I want to spoil it. That title should be enough to tell you that it is no small adventure.
Sidearm & Sorcery, Volume Two should be out sooner than later. I can't give a release date yet, but the cover has been revealed. It is quite incredible, worthy of the lineup of authors featured in its pages and very reminiscent of the great Frank Frazetta.
You can see the cover below:
Beautiful, is it not?
Yes, that's another great set of writers. I can definitely say that it's a killer slate. So definitely look forward to the final release! I am also looking forward to reading the tales by other authors whose material I enjoy quite a lot. Sidearm & Sorcery, Volume Two is destined to be a great time, an anthology unlike anything you'll find from OldPub.
Be sure to keep an eye on this one!
So yes, there is a lot on the way in the near future. Keep an eye out for even more announcements to come from me! We're not finished yet.
2023 is going to be something else. We're already off to a great start.
