Now, … More Excerpt: The Ruins of St. Louis (from Thunder on the Battlefield: Sorcery)
Today, my brothers and sisters, is a day meant for jubilation. Not only have we vanquished our foes and driven our enemies into blood-soaked graves, but those of us who are left are left stronger than before, blessed by the powers that humans are not meant to fully know… Or maybe Thunder in the Battlefield … More Available Now: Thunder in the Battlefield!
My turning points usually hit randomly, but today I feel really good. Maybe it’s because I know good things are on the horizon, maybe I’m just tired of being frustrated, but I’m feeling pretty skippy about life at the moment.

There’s no better way to get a taste of many different authors at once, and I’ve discovered some great talents by picking up anthologies with titles that sound great from the library or bookstore shelf. I’m very lucky to be part of some great anthologies coming out this … More Available Now: The Big Bad: An Anthology of Evil
