I actually put this on my blog for me, not for you, so I can just glance at my phone instead of trying to use their app. When I’m not on these panels I’ll probably be in the Bard’s Tower booth signing books. (and I just noticed they spelled my name wrong) 😀

I have been looking forward to reading this book but my early review copy that was supposed to get here while I was at FenCon didn’t make it in time. But this is the release week so I’m plugging anyway!

This is book 3 in a series of fun alternate histories where George Armstrong Custer lives and goes on a wacky series of adventures.

Armstrong and the Mexican Mystery

More fantastical than Harry Turtledove, funnier than Eric Flint, and with definite shades of The Wild, Wild West, the celebrated Custer of the West series—praised by Winston Groom (Forrest Gump), Stephen Coonts (The Flight of the Intruder), and Rob Long (Cheers)—comes to its shocking—and hilarious—climax as George Armstrong Custer, surprise survivor of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, unearths the lost civilization of Atlantis and battles the evil Atlanteans for the fate of the world.

NEVER FEAR—ARMSTRONG IS HERE!

A mysterious gunman meets Marshal Armstrong in San Francisco with tales of lost gold, unrequited revenge, and an unsolved mystery in Mexico’s Chihuahuan Desert, inspiring Marshal Armstrong, Ambrose Bierce, and the rest of Armstrong’s loose band of soldiers of fortune to plunge into an adventure of fierce gunfights, criminal conspiracies, an innovative submarine, and an underground, secret superpower—the remnants of Atlantis—that aims to subvert Western civilization!

Can the malevolent, scheming Atlanteans be stopped?

That’s the mission for George Armstrong Custer, traveling incognito as Marshal Armstrong Armstrong, knight-errant.

Full of suspense, non-stop action, chivalric romance, and effervescent humor, this is a great place to enter the Custer of the West series!

Recently, Hosts/Authors Steve Diamond and Larry Correia found a list on Twitter of authors someone found “problematic”. Once Larry got over his sadness at not being included, they decided to explain why they have a problem with the list of problematic authors.

This week’s episode is sponsored by D.A. Brock’s Texas at the Coronation

For seventy years after a devastating war, the Republic of Texas kept to itself. But it would be rude not to attend the international naval review celebrating Britain’s new king, George VI. So with war clouds over Europe, Texas sends the elderly armored cruiser, San Antonio, and her new captain, Karl von Stahlberg.

While making new friends and meeting Texas’ ancient foe, can Karl and his men avoid sparking a war?

Texas at the Coronation is available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3xEnz8g (affiliate link)

This one is going to be real brief because I kind of forgot about it, and I leave for FenCon shortly.

Appearances

I will be signing books tomorrow night in Dallas

Then I will be the Guest of Honor at FenCon. There is a fan meet up. The whole WriterDojo crew will be there and we will plan on recording a few episodes with other guests. I’ll also be running another Gritty Cop Show game where they auction off seats for the con’s charity.

The next weekend I will be at Salt Lake City FanX and you can find me at the Bards Tower booth which will be selling my books.

Writing Stuff!

I am finishing up Tower of Silence, book 4 in the Saga of the Forgotten Warrior. It comes out in April. I’m behind on this one because I made a plotting mistake earlier on and had to go back and rearrange a bunch of stuff. Those are the breaks. Sometimes when you are writing a fantasy series, you just walk up the wrong hill and then once you realize it you can either walk back down and go the right way, or you can plow ahead stupidly and then get stuck in the mud and never finish the series… Not that I’m thinking of any particular fantasy authors as I say that.

Up next I’ll be working on Monster Hunter Memoirs: Fever, with Jason Cordova. I believe it is planned to come out toward the end of 2023.

There’s a bunch more stuff coming that I don’t have time to talk about right now, that I’ve mentioned before. Don’t worry. Still working on it!

There are also several short stories I owe people between now and the end of the year.

Release Dates

No Game For Knights came out earlier this month, and it rocks. Check it out. That’s an anthology of noir sci-fi and fantasy stories edited by me and Kacey Ezell. It’s filled with fantastic authors.

In Defense of the Second Amendment is out January.

Tower of Silence is out April. I’ll be doing a big preorder push like I did for the gun book when I get back from FenCon.

Lost Planet Homicide 2 for Audible is done, and I think it’ll be out in January, but I’m not sure on that.

Other Stuff!

The Kickstarter for the MHI Miniatures Game from Everything Epic is over, but you can still get in late on the Backerkit. It is moving along. They’ve been working on art and models and sending me updates. Once I’m done with these two cons I’ll get more of the artwork posted for you guys.

Grimnoir leather bound. After a couple years of nut kicks and people going out of business, Spellbound is up shortly at the new printers. I should hopefully have some really happy announcements on that within 6 weeks or so.

“Wanting to be a writer and not wanting to be rejected is like wanting to be a boxer and not wanting to get punched.” (-David Barr Kirtley) So how do you handle rejection? How do you handle criticism?  Hosts/Authors Steve Diamond and Larry Correia return once again to discuss the best methods for dealing with both.

This week’s episode is sponsored by Stephanie Osborn’s Division One: the Bounty Game

In Agent Omega’s worldview, certain things simply were not possible.

And the claim of this tall, imposing alien woman calling herself Myclestra, that she came from another universe, was impossible. Worse yet, Myclestra claimed to be a bounty hunter tracking an evil shape-shifting perpetrator who wielded real, powerful, world-shattering…magic. Not simple cantrips, but wizardry that could destroy a world…or a galaxy.

But as terrible as her perp was, it was the gigantic sword slung over Myclestra’s back that was the true threat to everything Echo and Omega strove to protect. A five-foot-long blade, forged from the heart of a neutron star, crowned with a hilt of fabulous gems and precious metals. A sword literally haunted by a spirit that could be the end of Galactic civilization in the entire Milky Way…and more.
