Teel James Glenn: 9 Heroes: Interview 4
Teel James GlennNine Heroes: 9 Questions(Exploring Heroic Fantasy's Nine Heroes)
While I haven't experienced any of Teel James Glenn's other stories, I really enjoyed his well thought out tale in Nine Heroes. Here is a snippet from my Amazon review:
"Witness to death" by Teel James Glenn:
A hunting party has gone missing. Captain Uvan enlists Reverend Lord Enrique Shoutte's council... and together they face a horrific circumstance.
This story is well fleshed out and is an entertaining read. The author used descriptive phrases, interesting characters, and dark events well- in places I felt chills. This thirty plus page story kept me going until the end... A fun read. Describe your hero, or heroes. That is a big question; I guess I have a three-in-one-hero, one when I was young, one when I was growing up and one now. When I was young my hero on TV was the Lone Ranger- and as I grew older and learned more about his history and the man who played him, Clayton Moore and his/their code of personal conduct I admired him even more. Now that I have worked in the industry and read Moore’s auto-biography I came to realize I admired him even more. And he is the only celebrity whose autograph I have. Tell us about your character in 9 heroes. The Reverend Lord Erique Shoutte is a young circuit riding adherent to his religion ‘the Kova.” He is triple branded, that is, he received a brand on his chest at the end of each three-year training period as priest singer, healer and warrior. He is young in experience but deeply committed to fulfilling his priestly duties.

I wanted to confront him with several problems that tested both his faith and his ingenuity while at the same time highlighting an aspect of his religion I had not illuminated in a previous story. Is your story a part of a broader work or series? I’ve explored the world of Altiva in two novels and over three-dozen short stories over the years. The first two Altiva novels (Death at Dragonthroat and Quest of the Sister Warrior) are about to be reprinted in new and expanded form in 2015. And yes, I am working on sequels. In four lines, tell us about your story.Witness to Death starts with a mysterious slaughter of a caravan and Lord Shoutte begins to track the murderers, in the process encountering a victim of the trail of destruction. He finds he has to confront a monster with only the materials at hand. Which, besides your own is your favorite story? That’s not an easy one, as I really liked most of the stories quite a bit. If I had to choose I’d say, ”The Act of Sleepless Nights” by Walter Rhein. It deals with heroism in a realistic way- as a case of one act at a time and might well have been told in any war zone in any time in history. How many of the other authors in Nine Heroes have you read? About half of them—and now, after this book, all of them where ever I find their work! Would you make another anthology with Heroic Fantasy? Buy Paperback A selection of chilling stories from some of the best Indie authors on the market. We dare you to venture into these pages of spine chilling tales and stories of dark shadows & darker tidings, shifters, ancient warriors, zombies, & demons… See the world through the Ripper’s eyes, and so much more. So many dark, foul things wait for you between these pages. Freely donated by the authors themselves, these dark passages are a great example of their various, unique styles and imaginations.
