New Works to be Published!
I should have several new pieces of work published shortly;
released issue 6 that contains a history article by me regarding the Battle of Waterloo. The magazine is lovingly made and can be bought in print-format, which I highly reccomend. For the size of the magazine it is a real bargain!

has selected the story, "Travelling Tyrant" for publication. It was placed in their print magazine in October! The story is a humerous tale about the woes of a planetary dictator!
They'll be publishing another story in April about Tom Darmy the detective, who handles supernatural cases entitled, "The Oak on 31st Street".
Reflection's Edge published an article of mine about Western Swordsmanship. Check it out! Videos included.

Published Works
Pseudopod published my short story "Grave of Ships" on March 13th 2009 as 133 pod-cast with a dramatic reading by Ian Stuart. The story is read to perfection and I encourage people to follow the link, find story 133 "Grave of Ships" and give it a read!
Oh and please feed the pod if you liked it! They gave me a chance and with your donations they'll give others the same.
Absent Willow Review published a horror tale of mine, "Robert M. Munroe" June 16th. I am delighted.

Heroic Fantasy Quarterly published a fantasy tale of mine, "The Man of Moldania" July 1st in their frist issue! I am honored. The editors were fantastic to work with. The story involves an old, worn-out dragonslayer just looking for work in a world rather devoid of dragons. Or so he thinks.
Dark Recesses published "The Dead House" August 30th 2009. These guys have some great artwork on their website, give them a look. They also illustrated the story! Wow! The story involves a particularly strange house and the neighbor who spys on it.
