Okay, Scifi & Fantasy Fans, This One’s for You

Ladies and gentlehobbits, I present to you: A Consortium of Worlds, Vol. 1 (Fall Issue)! This is the first issue of the new Consortium Books quarterly, speculative fiction, short story e-magazine for Kindle and Nook. If you don't know what spec fic is, just think sci-fi and fantasy with, in our case, a little dash of steampunk and mythology thrown in. It's a yummy stew of otherwordly writerliness, and, as you might have guessed, I highly recommend a generous helping! My ingredient for this recipe comes in the form of a high fantasy short story....

A Consortium of Worlds, Vol. 1 (Fall Issue)

This is the first issue of the new Consortium Books quarterly, speculative fiction, short story e-magazine for Kindle and Nook. If you don’t know what spec fic is, just think sci-fi and fantasy with, in our case, a little dash of steampunk and mythology thrown in. It’s a yummy stew of otherwordly writerliness, and, as you might have guessed, I highly recommend a generous helping!

Buy A Consortium of Worlds, Vol. 1 (Fall Issue) for $2.99 on Kindle!

Buy it here for $2.99 on Nook!

My ingredient for this recipe comes in the form of a high fantasy short story, “Dead Reconning.” I’ve set it in what’s known anecdotally in Consortium circles as my “Triad universe.” You’ll find out more about the Triad universe in Fall 2012, when Consortium Books publishes my first epic fantasy novel, Legend’s Artisans: Schism (working title).

But. “Dead Reconning.” In this story, Wolf Dornsson and Lendry Bersallir, his lady fair, are trying to escape both Lendry’s disapproving father and the general, countrywide menace of undead elven soldiers. There’s adventure, romance, heroicness, argument, grotesqueness, grossness, and sword-fighting. It’s a light-hearted romp with a backdrop of darkness, and I kinda like it. I hope you will, too!

My fellow cooks in the Consortium of Worlds kitchen are:

  • Jessie Sanders
  • Thomas Beard
  • Becca J. Campbell
  • Joshua Unruh
  • Bailey Thomas
  • Aaron Pogue

Buy A Consortium of Worlds for Kindle or for Nook. Happy reading!

    Wait…so if one does not own a Kindle or Nook, one cannot read a (doubtless) wonderful Court story?!??!

    Oh, the technology…
