What A Week!

November 17, 2017 by Kacey Ezell Leave a Comment

You guys.  Seriously.  So many good things are happening right now that my head is spinning!  So here’s an update post with a lot of super great news and fun stuff to check out.

So, without further ado:  Thing The First!  

The Good, The Bad, and The Merc edited by Mark Wandrey and Chris Kennedy is LIVE today on Amazon!  This third anthology in the bestselling Four Horseman Universe (4HU for short) contains 16 short stories written by 15 authors and continues to flesh out the amazing setting and story laid down by the previous anthologies and novels in the series.  Fans of the series will be delighted to find a story featuring Jim Cartwright, from Cartwright’s Cavaliers (the incredible first book in the series), two catsassin stories, and offerings from Rob Hampson, Christopher L. Smith, Jason Cordova, Marisa Wolf, and Phillip Wholrab’s breathtaking debut story.

Do yourself a favor and click here to pick up a copy of The Good, The Bad, and The Merc, and then if you haven’t already done so, dive in to the rest of the 4HU with Cartwright’s Cavaliers and A Fistful of Credits.  If you enjoy fun, fast paced military sci-fi, you won’t be sorry.  I promise.

 

Thing The Second:

Minds of Men is doing great!  Thank all of you so much for your support, either as launch team members, early reviewers, Facebook post sharers, word of mouth talkers, or whatever other role you’ve played.  I cannot tell you enough how much I appreciate you all.  We’ve enjoyed steadily growing momentum from the beginning, and I would love it if you would continue to share, support, review, talk it up… all the things you’ve been doing.

 

Thing the Final:

And now, an announcement!  3-Time Nebula Nominee Chuck Gannon is running a Kickstarter campaign to fund an anthology set in his Caine Riordan universe.  I could try to wax eloquent about it here, but there’s no way I’m going to beat Chuck’s own beautiful prose, so I’ll settle for linking the Kickstarter page here.

But here’s the really exciting part (at least for me!)  I’ve been announced as a stretch goal contributor!  That means that if they meet their first stretch goal, I’ll be invited to contribute a story.  Because I really, really want to write in Chuck’s amazing setting, I’ve agreed to sweeten the pot with some redshirt and cast member opportunities as backing rewards.  🙂  So if you’re dying (see what I did there!) to show up as a named character in my upcoming 4HU novel Assassin, please go check out the Kickstarter campaign, and consider backing it!

As always, thank you all for your love and support.  I couldn’t do any of this without you.  You guys remain the best.

Surprise!

September 15, 2017 by Kacey Ezell Leave a Comment

Great news! The second Four Horsemen Universe anthology is live on Amazon!  In his social media spin up to its release, co-editor and publisher Chris Kennedy teased a little “surprise” to be included.

Well guess what?  Surprise!  I have a teeny tiny little story in this anthology, called “The Start of Something Beautiful”.  It was a tiny vignette that wouldn’t leave me alone until I wrote it.  So I did.  And I sent it to Chris and Mark, and… well… there you go.

However, that leads to another question.  The question you should be asking yourself is this:  if this story is only the start, what’s coming after it?  😉  Stay tuned, my dear friends!  Only time will tell.

But in the meantime, feel free to comment below with your speculations.  I’d love to see what you guys think!  And go check out the anthology!  You can find it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1942936842/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1505452695&sr=8-2&keywords=for+a+few+credits+more

It’s massive and terrific.  Enjoy!  And when you’re done, leave a review!

Forged In Blood is out!

September 9, 2017 by Kacey Ezell Leave a Comment

The Freehold Universe Anthology featuring my story “Family Over Blood”

Do you like swords?

How about completely kickass war stories that run the gamut from medieval Japan to spaceborne encounters with aliens and everything in between?

My friends.  Have I got the book for you.  🙂

Forged In Blood is an anthology of short fiction set in editor Michael Z. Williamson’s wildly popular Freehold universe.  And believe me, you don’t want to miss this one.  I’m incredibly proud of my contribution, “Family Over Blood”, but I was simply blown away by the contributions of Larry Correia, Jason Cordova, Christopher L. Smith, Peter Grant, John F. Holmes and all the others.  All. The. Others.  There isn’t a bad story in the bunch, and that includes the stories and connecting narrative written by Michael Z. Williamson himself.

But, in the immortal words of Levar Burton, “don’t just take my word for it.”  Here’s a link to a kindle preview, so you can go check it out and fall in love yourself: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B074Q1VF1S&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_d6kTzbGA8PJT1

And after you’ve read it, please consider leaving a review on Amazon.  It really helps us out.  Thank you!

Pimping My Friends – John F. Holmes

August 17, 2017 by Kacey Ezell Leave a Comment

So one of the things I want to do on this site, besides market my own work, is market the work of my friends and colleagues.  My buddy John F. Holmes has a new book out in a brand new swashbuckling series called The Cumberland Chronicles.  

Isn’t that a cool cover?

Here’s the description from the Amazon Page:

There are many planes to the multiverse. Some, like ours, are grounded in the reality of the physical laws, and there are rules we have to live by. Some others, though, are based on magic, with gods who interfere in mortal lives. Likewise, there are societies where you have to live by rules and laws. In every universe, though, there are those who refuse to live by the bounds civilization sets on them. We call them pirates, outlaws, and renegades. They call themselves free.
This is one of those planes of the multiverse that has both magic and men who call themselves free, and this is their story.

Brian Cumberland has been many things; slave, mercenary, royal bodyguard, and more. Now, though, he and his brother Tristan command the privateer Widowmaker, sailing the four seas looking for freedom and adventure. When a ghost from Brian’s past reappears in his life, he is sent on a quest which will take him to the very gates of death.

Sounds legit, right?  So, if you feel so inclined, go check it out here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074TYDW9P  And if you end up reading it, do John and me both a solid and leave a review!

Thanks!  You guys are the best.
