Another anthology from Raconteur Press is out- Space Marines
Click on the cover for the Amazon link!
The blurb-
Americans have always romanticized space travel. We are a people who, good or bad, have ever had their eyes on the horizon, and when we conquered our own horizons, we turned to the horizon of space. We have elevated intrepid astronauts to the status of American heroes, and as a nation we mourned the loss of the crews of Apollo 1, Challenger and Columbia.
Astronauts, however, are not our only national heroes; they are preceded in that honor by the Marines.
Marines have a credo, Semper Fidelis. It means “always faithful,” and Marines have honored that credo throughout our nation’s history. They have remained faithful to their mission, to their country, and to each other. It is easy to admire such men, which is why we so love stories about Marines; they embody the faith, nobility and honor to which we all aspire.
In this volume of stories, the Marines were sent to space to do what Marines do. And some of them made it home to tell their stories and figure out what’s next.
Yes, I have a story in this one too! 🙂
And LawDog has finally gotten his second novel fixed and back up- The Africa Files
The blurb-
Africa is different.
Most people who grew up in the Western world don’t realize just how different.
In this volume, LawDog relates stories of growing up in West Africa, including run-ins with the flora and fauna, a younger brother, their engineer father and redheaded mother.
The Africa Files isn’t just a collection of childhood shenanigans, though there’s a lot of that, but also a fond recollection of a time and place that shaped a Texas lawman.
Note! These are the only authorized copies of his work! The other books under D Lawdog are not his, and he doesn’t get a penny from them (although they owe him money for them AND the audio books)…
Last, but not least, Kal Spriggs has the fourth book in his Eoriel Saga out Sorcerers of the Black Fortress
The blurb-
The enemy you don’t see is the one waiting to stab you in the back.
Aerion Swordbreaker has helped to overthrow the usurper and restore Lady Katarina to rule over the Duchy of Masov. In the process, he’s recovered the Starblade, a weapon and symbol of extreme power. But it has been broken for a thousand cycles, and repairing it may be beyond the powers of the greatest wizards who ever lived. This is an impossible quest, but that’s nothing new for Aerion and his companions.
Across the continent of Eoriel, ancient powers stir: gods, demons, and powerful spirits. Some are driven to help, but others will oppose his efforts at all costs. And close at hand, closer than he realizes, there are forces within the Duchy of Masov that will stop at nothing to kill him and destroy the Starblade. Because it represents the High Kings as a symbol of justice that must be removed.
An alliance is forming, of powers dark and terrible, and they’ve chosen their champions with care. The sorcerers of the Black Fortress have returned and they’ll send their monstrous creations across the land, scourging everything in their path, to ensure that Aerion’s quest fails and the era of the High Kings never returns.
This is a great series and Kal has put a lot of work into the world building and character development in it!
Lastly, I’d like to thank those who have bought and posted reviews of Nothing but Time!
Still hanging around in the top 25 short reads after a month is DAMN GOOD!!! Thank you!
Y’all have a great weekend, and enjoy ‘spring’ if you can!
