My story ‘Jerold’s Stand’ was accepted for publication in Broadswords and Blasters. I am happy about this story finding a good home. It was a bit of an experiment -trying to emulate the flavor of a medieval epic, mainly The Song of Roland– and I like how it turned out. You’re thrown into the middle of a battle as a brave captain leads his force against a much larger army. If you can get over the style -which is deliberately archaic- I think you might like it, too. It’s on track to come out in April 2018.

Short story Ngu’Tinh available as standalone eBook
My short story “Ngu’Tinh” is now available as a standalone eBook.
This is a military/horror/action story about a group of Navy SEALs fighting a supernatural threat in the jungles of Vietnam. It was first published in the SNAFU: Hunters anthology by Cohesion Press.
In its first draft, the story was called “Hunter’s High”, because it featured a monster whose psychic-hunting abilities didn’t work on people who were high on heroin. Now it’s named after a mythological creature known as “Ngu’Tinh”.
The story is priced at .99USD, 1.33CDN, or free for Kindle Unlimited readers. It will also be free as a promotion this weekend (Friday June 2 through Sunday June 4) for all readers. If you download a copy, please give the story a review on Amazon; These are much more valuable for me than money.
Thanks for your support, and I hope you like the story.
