Although I have to point out that there was a piece of speculative science fiction called The Blazing World published by one Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1666, slightly predating Mary Shelley.
Female authors have done amazing things over the years, and ought to be recognized.

What kind of terrors and beasties will Dust McAlan face? Well, to start with, here’s some spiders that might seem normal-ish (despite being massive), but aren’t entirely of this earth. Art by my fantastic brother, Shon Burch.

So, follow me here. Since Disney is picking up the Indiana Jones franchise for “future films” and Paramount gets to own distribution on the previous four, I hereby nominate Bradley Cooper as the replacement Indy. It fits: he’s 38, Harrison Ford was 39 during filming of Raiders. Cooper has charm, wit, and acting chops to go along with leading man capability. Should Disney take the smart route and make Indy films that fit inbetween the already-made Indy films and NOT reboot, Cooper has the rugged look to pass close enough to young Harrison Ford without being either an imitation or a look-alike. I would LOVE to see Disney adapt Fate of Atlantis starring Bradley Cooper as Indiana Jones. I would love it. Are you listening, Disney?
Just bringing this back for a moment to say that I called it. Yes, it’s just a rumor right now, but — called it.

Meet Whisky Johnson: seasoned treasure hunter and veteran explorer. He’s the closest thing Dust has to an older brother, and a welcome help in any tight spot. Of course, Dust constantly owes him money, so Whisky’s first thought is whether or not the adventure will prove a profit. Whisky’s art here is provided by Casey Burch, who’s doing more character illustrations in the novel.
Preorder your print copy of Dust McAlan and the Empire of the Serpent over at my website, coming April 21st!
