Spawn of War and Deathiness Published in Kindle, Paper

Well, it’s more like November 7th for the paperback, but just the 16th for Kindle according to Amazon. The Book: SPAWN OF WAR AND DEATHINESS from B Cubed Press (cf. October 26, 25, August 10, et al.), B Cubed Press’s “overflow” anthology of stories originally sent for its ALTERNATIVE WAR and ALTERNATIVE DEATH titles, but with the additional endorsement that all were originally published elsewhere. That is at least two editors, and sometimes more, have considered these stories worth publication.

Quoting the blurb: When War and Deathiness get together, the odds of a happy ending are diminished.

So, you can fight it, or you can go with the flow. And in this case, the flow resulted in a great outcome.

SPAWN OF WAR AND DEATHINESS brings the best of both concepts in a creative selection of wonderful short fiction.

Great authors on topics as old as humanity who still find ways to bring new and interesting approaches.

Be that as it may, my tales in this tome are “Refugees,” a medieval take for the WAR part of the mix on the siege of a castle, and “The Sidewalk,” a musing for DEATH on the endings of things beyond just life. First publication for these, respectively, are A HIGH SHRILL THUMP (Third Flatiron Publishing, 2012) and TERMINAL FRIGHT, Fall 1996. So sidewalks have been around for some time (and perhaps have popped up in more places than one).

But, bottom line, both stories can be found now in the same book, for more on which — and for ordering — one can press here.
