New Release ~ Cirsova #20!

Find it Here!

Here we are at the tail-end of summer with another new release! Hope you've been surviving the annoying weather shifts. This time we're going to cover the newest issue of Cirsova, featuring some great writers and talent of the like you might have missed out on. In particular, we're going to talk about issue #20.

And I'm also in this one! It's been a while since I was in an issue of Cirsova, but I can tell you that it was worth the wait!

My story in this issue is called "Mirage Carousal" a tale as odd as its title. This one is of a man named Nick who appears to be riding his motorcycle alone in the middle of the end of the world. Guns, mist monsters, and witchery follows. If you've read "What's It Like in There?" in Sidearm & Sorcery Volume 3 that name might be familiar to you. That is because the two stories are very much related. (I do recommend reading this one first, however!)

But this release, of course is not even close to just about me! There are many other writers with stories to consider in this issue.

Here is the full listing of stories:
