Still haven’t started the Middle Earth game … but we’re getting close. In the meantime, Jason Anspach and Nick Cole have a new series, Forgotten Ruin. Cole is known for his “x meets y” elevator pitches: this one is “Black Hawk Down meets Lord of the Rings.” And no, the Rangers in Mogadishu aren’t whipping […]

I’m starting up a Middle Earth game here at home, with my usual gaming group. Here are the characters so far: The stats are dice from Savage Worlds: purple is d4, blue is d6, and on up the chromatic scale to orange as d12. Or in-game Purple is POOR Blue is AVERAGE Green is SKILLED […]

Yesterday’s bombastic declaration comes from this passage from my work in progress, HEART OF ICE: “Tell me, what is the weight of a plaintive lament, Of a passionate passage of sighs? When Sir Manfred like Achilles sulks in his tent, Under lowering, thunderous skies? Here he broods, dark Sir Manfred! The lord of Valkenburgh! Cast […]

Now in my sixth book for Chris Kennedy Publishing, I have finally been able to use this line:“Bah!” came the sudden plosive clap of sound from the darkness, whence Sir Manfred emerged. “Of what consequence is a trivial falsehood within the grand canvas upon which the saga of SIR MANFRED VALKENBURGH is played?”The original line […]

So, THIS just happened: This is the cover for the latest book in the Murphy’s War series, OPERATION WEREWOLF. No, there isn’t a werewolf on the cover, but we wanted to make sure you knew there are ATOMIC DEMONS IN HERE! Yes, that’s a demon prince rising out of a mushroom cloud, opposed by Mick, […]

I just finished the fourth book in a series called Murphy’s War, set in a Weird World War II where magic and vampires fight side by side with tanks, snipers and booby traps. There aren’t many books like this of which I am aware: it’s a hat tip and homage to Operation Chaos by Poul […]

All right, just because I’m playing catch-up, I don’t want you all expecting a new book every day! I’m not denying that would be amazing, but it’s just a quirk of the publishing process. New Mythologies Press brings you Keep of Glass, an Arthurian adventure for the modern age. As the Enchantment of Britain grows […]

Welcome, new Hellbusters! The war continues in Hell as our heroes face the first string at last in Operation Zombie, book 3 from Blood Moon Press. (Scroll down for the Blood Moon section.) Who’s that hefting a Sherman tank at our hero? Well, Hell is down to just two generals, one of whom is Koriel, […]

Hot off the wires, the cover to Operation Reaper, Murphy’s War Vol. II!

A snippet from OPERATION ZOMBIE, in progress: I knew if I tried yelling to Gnorfank from here, my words would come out as auditory mush. I still hadn’t got my breath back from my sprint to beat the sniper’s bullet. “Huh?” said Pruitt, whose self-preservation instinct was underdeveloped, on account of his deprived youth. Being […]

Martini is the radioman/crystal ball operator for the platoon. He’s a Tech Four, two stripes and a T, but stripes are hard when the whole thing’s barely 3 inches high. The odd thing in his right hand is a post I used to support the model as it gets printed from the ground up. I […]

Behold the highly collectible (only one known to exist) model of Private Gnorfank, the G.I. Troll! The limbs are a little blocky, because I had to simplify the original file from 150 MB. As I get better with the 3D Software Fur Dummkopfen that I use, it’ll get better. The 50-cal is from a G.I. […]
