Hi, folks. I've got some exiting news to share with you today. I've just had my first fiction published after quite a few years of limiting myself to writing non-fiction articles.
The story appears in SAVAGE REALMS MONTHLY #35 (May 2025) just released by Literary Rebel, LLC. Titled, "Raxton in the Temple of Shadows", it's a tale of sword and sorcery with a character inspired by the early pioneers of the genre, and in particular, Robert E. Howard. I had a helluva lotta fun writing it and was fortunate to find a publisher in this somewhat limited and very crowded market.
If you're into S&S at all, I hope you're interested enough to pick up a copy HERE. It's sold exclusively at Amazon and both print and Kindle editions are available.
As a result of this new benchmark in my writing career, I'll be celebrating Sword & Sorcery all week here at WoM, so check back every day for some new blood and thunder!
Here's the publisher's general description of the title and information on this issue:
Quench Your Thirst for Savage Sword and Sorcery Action Adventure!
The masters of sword and sorcery fiction might be dead but just because Robert E. Howard is no longer penning Conan tales doesn't mean you have to go without your fix of axe wielding barbarians, lusty wenches and evil wizards! Literary Rebel is proud to bring you a whole new crop of monthly fantasy fiction by talented new authors. This month we welcome back Savage Realms Monthly alum Richard L. Rubin and B. Harlan Crawford, along with new comer John Navroth.
"The first issue does not disappoint!"
"Hack and slash goodness."
"Harkens back to the days of the pulp masters..."
Fans of Robert E. Howard, Lin Carter, Clark Ashton Smith, and Karl Edward Wagner will love this new fantasy fiction adventure magazine.
That's exciting! Congratulations!
