Wow,
it has been a tough three weeks. I’ve actually had no full days off since the
beginning of March, including weekends. But finally we’ve made it to spring
break. I’m off all next week and man am I looking forward to some sleep. And
maybe some writing as well.
It
was exciting that it was the last day of work before break today, but even more
exciting was the publication of Mage, Maze, Demon, by David Cranmer’s Beat to a Pulp. This is book #3 in their Veridical Dreams series, which are tales
inspired by the dream journals of Kyle J. Knapp. Being a fellow who keeps his
own dream journal, I much enjoyed writing for this series.
The
story is sword and sorcery, which, judging by the number of works I’ve written
in that genre, is my favorite genre. I love to read it and write it. Although
you could read the cover blurb for it on Amazon, I’ve copied it below.
Having
narrowly survived a raging fire, the warrior, Bryle, finds himself caught in a
labyrinth of treacherous caverns. It isn’t by accident. An eyeless sorcerer has
summoned Bryle. He wants the barbarian to retrieve a talisman that will stop a
demon of unfathomable power. To do so, Bryle must first face the challenges of
the sorcerer’s maze: flooded tunnels, poisoned traps, and a monstrous beast
that can heal its own wounds. The sorcerer promises the barbarian his freedom
if he succeeds. But can Bryle trust the word of such a being? Can he trust
anything other than the sword in his hand?
Mage,
Maze, Demon is only 99 cents on Amazon, so if you have a hankering for some
Barbarian versus Mage versus Demon action, it’s affordable.

I hope you get some rest this week. Congratulations on your new publication.
Sage, thanks, man.
What a great cover. Congratulations!
Congratulations, Charles!
Now, enjoy your week of spring break.
Patti, yes, I like it a lot.
Alex, will do!
Congratulations on the release. Picked up a copy and am looking forward to reading it. I second that cover praise, by the way. It has a very "old school" style/vibe to it that really draws the eye and promises a rollicking good time.
Charles, would you agree that When Pauline Hickey was 17 in 1985 she was THE most incredible bird of all-time ! ?.
It's schtuff like this that makes me want to make a Kindle my very next big-ticket item purchase this spring/summer. Well done sir.

Jason E., hope you enjoy. David Cranmer over at Beat to a Pulp always puts out great covers.
Tony, I gotta say I was not familiar with her.
G. B., I do enjoy mine. Use it quite a lot.
Congratulations - that great news! I just got my copy.
And I hope you get some rest soon. Am in the same boat myself. I don't even recall the last time I has a full day off (including weekends). And still not going to happen for the next 4-6 weeks. At least now I have a good new book for when it ends. :)
Good luck with this, Charles.
Just bought it, Charles, and looking forward to reading it.
Sounds like a cool book. great last line in that blurb!

RK, long runs of work like that just drag me down. Hope you get some rest soon as well.
Oscar, yes, be nice for it to do well.
Prashant, I appreciate that. Hope you enjoy.
Greg, thankee. It does sound barbarianesque.
Great cover. I'll most definitely check it out.
How do I follow someone in blogger??
Bernard, Yeah, I like it a lot.
Il dilettantte, I don't really know. I know a lot of folks have a little button you click on. I'll have to figure this out myself.
