COVER REVEAL from Raconteur Press for my 1st ever guest-edited anthology!

The Raconteur Press Blades & Black Magic cover, only missing a few names

And there it is, in all its glorious beauty! Talk about a blade defying dark sorceries! We’ve got a warrior standing in the face of evil, preparing to rain wrath upon diabolical foes! Thanks to Raconteur Press, I’ve been allowed back into the Sword & Sorcery arena with this, their first ever anthology of all the good stuff:

Blades & Black Magic
With Guest Editor Jason M. Waltz

Barbarians! Battles! Babes! Swords, sorcerers, and saucy wenches. These are the days of high adventure! Pay tribute to the likes of Robert E. Howard and Fritz Leiber, or the post-apocalyptic science-fantasy of Thundarr the Barbarian and Ralph Bakshi’s Wizards. Answer the age-old question: “What is best in life?” And by Crom, do your homework!

Opens: 05/24/25
Closes: 07/13/25
Contracts: 07/26/25
Publication: 08/22/25

With less than 2 weeks remaining the competition is growing stiff as the number of stories I’m liking is growing. There will be only 10 in the end, and by Crom!, y’all are starting to make me work — Thank you!

Now — repeat after me, “RP is bringing the Attitude!”

Go on now, ya heard me. Yell it from the mountain!
