A Hero By Any Other Name

Silence in the Library Publishing has put out a brand new anthology and is a collection of superhero stories. It's a fantastic collection and I'm very proud of it. First off, it has stories from Michael Stackpole and Aaron Allston in it. And a story by me.

My story, called "Changing The Game," is about the sidekick half of the Kid Sleuth and the Inspector team.

Each of the stories is illustrated by Mark Dos Santos, and has a cover by Dennis Loubet. Here's a full breakdown of authors and stories:

  • Aaron Allston - Retreads
  • Janine Spendlove - Stupendous Sparkle
  • Maxwell Alexander Drake - The Kid
  • Bryan Young - Changing the Game
  • Maggie Allen - A Marvelous New World 
  • R.T. Kaelin - All-Star
  • Ron Garner - Hero Today, Gone Tomorrow 
  • Jean Rabe - Mortar's Ovation
  • Michael A. Stackpole - Need to Know
It is now on sale through Amazon, but you can buy it here directly, $15 + shipping, at a much better benefit to the authors. 

In fact, this is another instance of Silence in the Library publishing (the first being Time Traveled Tales) where the proceeds are split equally among the others and not funneled through all the overhead of a publishing company. If you buy it from us, more money is going into the pockets of the authors and artists behind this book in an equitable way that would be unheard of for traditional publishing.

You can get it on Amazon, or I can ship it to you directly via the paypal button below:

The Way It Is

            The whistle signaling quitting time was always his favorite time.  It was the high water mark for the rest of the day, representing that first moment of freedom matched with the highest level of energy he’d have for the rest of the night.  He turned his dirty earth-moving machine off, ceasing the rumble in his seat and in the engine.  Quietly, he pulled the earplugs from his ears, and collected his gloves and cooler.  The cooler held remnants of his lunch which had consisted of two ham and cheese sandwiches, a dill pickle, a bag of chips, and an apple.             Each step back to his truck, parked four blocks away, ached down into his core.  Shifting his weight right, he could feel the burn on his ankle and knee.  Shifting his weight left provided the same effect on the other side.         ...

The Scoop

So, I've decided to save the below "About Me" in amber, trapped in time, as it were and sort of start over from scratch since the mission of the site is a little different now. I'm making a go of earning money for all of my writing. I'm working to convert my body of work here into something that will provide me some means of income that will justify how much time I spend writing in a day. I would really appreciate if you'd consider buying some of my stories and spreading the word. So, enjoy the slightly outdated bio about myself below, I'll start a new one up in its entirety soon. 03/2010 Me, circa February 2009. I'm posting short stories up on this blog. At least once a month I'll do so. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I used to write short stories quite often, but my prose petered out after I became a screenwriter. This is my way of relearning prose. If I didn't publish it here I probably wouldn't publish it anywhere. If I didn't p...

The Hope of Humanity

This is but a sample of this story.  The complete version is available in my print collection  Man Against the Future.   From there, you can order signed copies, or buy it for the Kindle or the Nook. The year was 2081 and so many of the social problems humans had faced over the last hundred years were still a pretty big problem. Most people were still poor, corporations still ran the government, and politicians were constantly caught with prostitutes of both sexes, living and dead. When politicians weren't blowing each other's personal lives completely out of proportion for political gain, they were starting wars with other countries. Sometimes, they would even start wars with people inside their own country, but those were usually ideological. Perhaps the biggest and worst change was that the polar ice caps had melted and much of the Mojave Desert was now prime beachfront property, and the air across the globe tasted like you were sucking on a tailpipe. As pressi...
