Hope is Released!

by Leave a Comment

It’s 1 March already! That’s so crazy! 2019 just started, and I can’t believe we’re already in the last month of the quarter.

March has always been my favorite month for a lot of reasons. It’s my birthday month, it’s usually the end of winter, it’s when things start to heat up and get moving toward con season… and this year, we’re kicking March off with a bang, and the release of HOPE IS NOT A STRATEGY!

HOPE is the latest anthology set in the Four Horsemen Universe (4HU for short), and for this one, editors Mark Wandrey and Chris Kennedy reached out to some of the biggest and most respected names in the indie SF business. And boy did they deliver!

I’m honored to have my story, “Survivor” included in this volume. It’s a bit of a different twist for me, and I’d love to know what you think of it, along with the rest of the stories in the book. So please consider checking it out, and if you like it, do leave a review? They absolutely help so very much.

ALSO! If you’re looking at this anthology thinking “yeah, but the 4HU is ginormous, and I don’t know where to start…”, then don’t worry, fam. We got you. CARTWRIGHT’S CAVALIERS, by Mark Wandrey, the Dragon-nominated book that started it all is available FREE this weekend! There won’t be a better time to go get hooke… uh… I mean, go check it out! 😉

Enter The Lyon’s Den

by Leave a Comment

Friends and family,

It’s release weekend for an anthology I’ve been anticipating for a long time!  Tales From The Lyon’s Den is the fourth anthology set in the bestselling Four Horseman Universe, and as of the time of this writing, it’s currently the #1 Bestseller in Science Fiction Anthologies on Amazon!  🙂

Lyon's Den Cover

Tales From The Lyon’s Den is a collection of eighteen stories set in the 4HU and linked by the theme of “stories you’d tell in a bar”.  My story is called “A Mother’s Favor”, and it’s the last story in the volume.  I’m super proud of it, and I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.  And if you’ve read Assassin, you may see an old friend or two.  🙂

In any case, go check it out if you haven’t already, and please (as always!) don’t forget to leave a review!

Have a great weekend!

New Review of Minds of Men

by 4 Comments

I just got a terrific review of Minds of Men, from the fabulous Jimbo’s Awesome Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Reviews, and I wanted to share it with you, my friends.  🙂  Here’s my favorite part:

It’s umm… Alternate history. And I’ve got a history degree. And if one of my old professors were to find out that I read a book that they’d consider to be historical fiction, I’d be in deep doo-doo. If they found out I enjoyed it, I’d be in even deeper doo-doo. And if they found out I featured it on my blog and encouraged others to read it, I’d get to find out if it was possible to impeach me and take my degree away. So, I mean, yeah, Minds of Men kicks ass, but if you talk to any history professors from Oakland University (where I got my BA) especially, or Wayne State University (where I did some graduate work but never finished) then you didn’t hear how good this book was from me. K? I mean, you can still say you read and enjoyed it if you don’t mind the inevitable backlash. Just don’t tell them it’s my fault. I’ve got kids.

HA!  Thanks Jimbo!  🙂  I really appreciate it.  He actually goes on to leave a pretty in-depth review of the story.  You can check out the rest of it here.

And if you haven’t yet picked up a copy of Minds of Men, what are you waiting for?  We even have it in audiobook now!

 

4HU Challenge Coin Kickstarter!

by Leave a Comment

 

Hey Four Horsemen Fans!  Seventh Seal Press has gone live with a Kickstarter to produce official Four Horsemen Universe Challenge Coins!

These coins will be individually numbered, high-quality collector’s items.  While there may be future production runs on the horizon, only this first Kickstarter batch will be individually numbered.  So that’s pretty cool.

And here’s the best part:  the project is already funded!

It funded in less than four hours, and blew past the first two stretch goals as well.  We’re working on adding additional funding levels and stretch goals because the demand for these seriously kickass coins is… well… out-freaking-standing!  

So anyway, if you’re interested, don’t delay.  Head over and select your funding level, as some of our more limited levels have already sold out.  But don’t worry.  We’ll make sure there’s some goodies in store for you.  🙂
