Stan, sweet! Forgive my ignorance. Where were the first two published?
DMR books call for short stories though novellashttps://dmrbooks.com/submissions/
“
For the first time ever, DMR Books will be open to unsolicited submissions. The submission window is from October 31-November 30.
What we’re looking for:
Heroic fantasy adventure fiction of the sword-and-sorcery subgenre. Rather than give a detailed explanation of what that means, I’ll just say that if you’re familiar with the books we’ve published, as well as the titles on the following list, you’ll have a good idea of what we want.

Lol. Im 50per done and agree with the Bewitched episode take. Still waiting for many threads to align. More soap opera than adventure
Interesting. Aren’t you writing some litRPGs? How’s that going?
Deformed humans and worms! Although its bot litRPG Im reminded of Karl Edward Wagner Legion from the shadows..,, REH pastiche of Bran Mak Morn
It may inspire the weird horror dungeon crawl vibe
Nice score!I think you saw this interview, but if not. (for others too), I was honored to track Schweitzer down for an interview.

The September issue of S&SM is now live. This one has a theme--what happens when the dragon is dead. There's also a review of a great podcast you might want to check out.
Enjoy! http://swordsandsorcerymagazine.com/i...

I'm about 12% though Port of Shadows.Prior this, I've only read The Black Company (i.e., #1 f the series), so reading this #1.5 episode makes sense for me.
Port of Shadows has the same voice and style as #1, but I definitely agree with Joseph in that there is a ton of milieu assumed to be known by the reader that it takes some effort to "hold-on".
That said, it is still very readable. I recall feeling slightly overwhelmed with #1 anyway.
If I am not lost yet, Port has alternating chapters jumping back and forth from "a long time ago" to "modern times" or more obscurely "once upon a time." I was naively not paying attention to the chapter titles for a while...which was confusing.
Cook doesn't harp on the time jumps in the prose.... just the Chapter titles. This seems to be his style. He gives just enough and assumes you'll get "it."
