I’ve always kept an eye out for the paperbacks. Sadly I’ve only ever found one in the wild. Thanks for the update about the ebooks Joseph.
The best and oldest advertising: word of mouth. 😁
@KirkThat’s a good one.

Swords of the Four Winds: Tales of Swords and Sorcery in an Ancient East That Never Was
Why is it that I'm just now learning of this publisher? David Malaski was sharing a new book with me and I looked up the publisher. New Mythology Press (www.chriskennedypublishing.com) Here are a couple of anthologies ripe for our group read.When Valor Must Hold
Songs of Valor
@DevrimYou might reach out to Pickman Press directly. I cannot find an email address for them, but if you have Facebook you could message them. They have a phone number listed on their FB page also.
I just finished Savage Realms Monthly: January 2022: A collection of dark fantasy sword and sorcery short adventure stories
I am not a literary critic, but I rather enjoyed this issue. Especially The Glass Crypt by Tim Gerstmar. My review is up here and on Amazon.
@ClintDilks is the only author that I have read previously. Most of these other authors are just getting started and I don’t think there is much out there by them yet.
Welcome aboard Spidrax!
@ SpidraxSadly most of his collections are out of print and very expensive second hand.
His novel Cahena is still in print from DMR Books. It’s a fun historical adventure.
Worse Things Waiting and Lonely Vigils are still in print and while I haven’t read them others seem to really like them. Both books were initially printed by Carcosa, a publishing house started by Karl Edward Wagner.
Starkadder
The first of a Viking themed trilogy. It seems only the first book was published here in the States. Stan Wagenaar put my feet upon this path.
From the jacket:
"Rich in the background of ancient Norse legends, Starkadder is a vivid, sweeping novel of swordplay and intrigue."
@DevrimI'm currently reading this particular issue and I have to agree with your assessment.
The shortness of the stories makes them quick reads, but this shortness hinders the storytelling.
Because of his story in Blood on the Blade I've moved onto:Theok the Indomitable: A Spill Of Sorcerer's Blood
