Hey people, I now have a book
for sale! It's Tales of the Modern Realms, an illustrated anthology
of six stories set in a pulp-inspired world of mystery and adventure.
The stories were originally
published here on my blog and have since been remastered and expanded.
There's also bonus material included on the history and background of
the world itself.
If you're curious, want to
support my work or just want something a little different to try, you
can buy a copy here.
Createspace (Note: I'd prefer it if you ordered from here, but It's entirely up to you what method you choose)
If you want to know more,
read the FAQ below.
What's the hook?
The Modern Realms are a
fantasy world of dragons, wizards and elves. However, unlike most
fantasy stories, it doesn’t take place in a psudo-medieval time
period. Instead it takes place in a 40's – 60's inspired cold war
landscape, with jet planes, microfilm and silenced pistols.
Here's the blurb:
Once the realms were home to
great kings and noble knights, evil wizards and beautiful princesses.
But those days are long gone. Lost in a war of bullets and smoke. Now
the realms are home to billionaire playboys and femme fatales, cool
spies and private eyes.
From the towering forests of Wendiga to
the rainy skies of Hightower, from the cold mountains of Romahold to
the neon lit streets of Gulf City, deals are made, money changes
hands and nobody can be trusted.
This omnibus contains seven
illustrated stories of mystery and suspense, as well as a detailed
guide to the world of the Modern Realms.
Wait, all of this can be
read for free?
Yes and no. All of the short
stories were originally published on my blog, and can still be read here (and I encourage you to do so.) However, the versions contained
in this book are extended and remastered.
Most of the stories have
additional and altered scenes, some of which change the course of
events a little. Likewise, I've also remastered and redone some of
the artwork. The versions included are what I consider the definitive
story.
Also it includes extra
content on the background of the Modern Realms setting, details on
the history, races and nations that you won't find anywhere else.
Is there an ebook version
available?
Coming soon I hope. You'll
know as soon as I have a concrete idea on that.
Is this the novel you've
spoken about in the past?
No, there's still plenty of
work that I've done that I want to publish through traditional means.
Also there's a bunch of other Modern Realms stories that I haven't
yet published, and would like to do as a collaborative job with other
artists.
Is this related to that
short story you were talking about getting published?
No, the story from Less Than
Three Press is unconnected in both story and setting. That's its own
thing.
It's not connected to the
upcoming webcomic either.
Where can I buy it?
I already put the links
above, but just because you asked, here it is again:
