It’s time to embark on a reading quest, and I’ve got a baker’s dozen of books that will fill your imagination with magic, monsters, and heroes. I’ve curated this year’s Truly Epic Fantasy Storybundle featuring some of the most ambitious and talented indie authors.

Stoke the fires on the big steel wheels!  Exciting news, so keep your fingers crossed that this moves forward.  Here’s the official announcement:

It’s that time of year: November is “Nanowrimo” or National Novel Writing Month, when ambitious authors take the challenge to write the first draft of a novel from start to finish in a month. While gearing up for the challenge, writers are looking for advice, techniques, and resources.

Curated by my friend Allyson Longuiera. This Darker Realms Storybundle contains several WordFire Press books, and a SNEAK PREVIEW of my Selected Stories: Horror and Dark Fantasy, which won’t be otherwise available to the public until next month!

Here’s what Allyson has to say:

THE 2018 ADVENTURE SF BUNDLE

As the summer ends, you have just enough time to dive into a universe of exciting science fiction. I’ve curated a new StoryBundle of a dozen adventure SF books which only runs for three weeks from August 29 through September 19.

Some more exciting news, this time about Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I.  Here’s our official announcement:

“Actress and Producer Marisol Nichols (Riverdale, The Gates, 24, GCB) and her company Nicolette ENT have entered into an agreement with Kevin J. Anderson to pursue development of the Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. series for television.”

Marisol and I have been good friends for many years, and she’s always been passionate about bringing Dan Shamble to TV. This represents a great step forward.  Keep those zombie fingers crossed!

Brian Herbert and I are very excited about the new Dune tabletop games under development.

Harlan Ellison died last week, short of stature, large of ego, and a man of unquestionable impact in the field. I knew Harlan. I liked Harlan, although many considered him an ogre—and he could be. But he did a lot for me, whether or not he realized how important it was to a newer author trying to find his way in the field.

I’ve posted many stories on my social media. Here they are, all together, in case you missed any of them.
