I'll be reading The House on the Borderland....finally....

Check out your TBR list, look for any cover artist or author with WILLIAM...and getting reading.

Trollslayer or Gotrek & Felix: The First Omnibus work too (William King), if you feel like something more modern than the classics mentioned.

(a) Any William: Like classics by William Hope Hodgson or William Morris?

Thanks for the support!

@Periklis, I still have free codes for audiobooks. I can PM you.

Kathy Bell Denton is the actress who produced Spawn of Dyscrasia.., she will likely produce Helen's Daimones in 2018.

All,
As per my recent blog post... Helen's Daimones is being released now. It's on Kindle currently, with paperback versions going live sometime in Nov.

This was designed as a gateway novella into Dyscrasia Fiction.... but I'll need reviews to confirm. Also, I had a birthday yesterday and I whimsically offered review copies to anyone listening on Facebook (worked pretty well, but then I thought it was evil of me not offer that here!)

So...anyone interested in "ARC's"? Let me know by private message. I'd need preferred format and address (email or post).

Cheers,
Seth





Helen's Daimones is on Kindle!

 Paperback version available soon globally.
Helen’s Daimones – the gateway novella for Dyscrasia Fiction. Helen and Sharon are orphans haunted by supernatural diseases, insects, and storms. They are your tour guides in this entry-way novella into Dyscrasia Fiction which explores the choices humans and their gods make as a disease corrupts their souls, shared blood and creative energies. In Helen’s Daimones, guardian angels are among the demons chasing the girls. When all appear grotesquely inhuman, which ones should they trust to save them?






Black Gate Magazine raves: “Lindberg is the real deal, a gifted writer with a strong command of language,” Joe Bonadonna


Foreword Clarion, 5/5 Stars: “[Lords of Dyscrasia] is highly recommended, though not for the faint of heart…” Reviewer Janine Stinson



Beauty in Ruins: “[Spawn of Dyscrasia is] as much a horror novel as it is a fantasy novel, but it’s in that clash of genres that Lindberg distinguishes himself. [Spawn of Dyscrasia is] a gorgeous, textured, intricately layered story.” — Reviewer Bob Milne

Many magazines are on Goodreads, so that is fine. I think there is a typo. Lots of "Readers" in the blurb:

Proteus is a new kind of magazine - a complete adventure story in which you, the reader, play the part of the reader. (hero?)

Great feedback! Keep 'em coming

Don't know many other Fritz's... ;)

Looking for feedback. For the nest poll (to start ~Oct 1st) which will decide group read topics for Nov-Dec...I am thinking we vote for Names of artists and authors.

Topic Themes: Sword & Sorcery [or related inspiring works] with any book cover artist, audiobook narrator, or author with the same name. We would only pick two names.

If this works, it would be good to have more sets then the examples below.
Thoughts? Any other names to provide?

William
William Hope Hodgson
William Morris
others...

Michael
Michael Whelan
Michael Moorcock
others...

James
James Enge
James A. Moore
others...

etc....

Your Board Game Geek profile link wasn't working for me, so I insert it here: manolis-frangidis

BTW we have a networking folder, which attempts to connect various artisits/writers.

You may want to scope that out:

Welcome Manolis! I'll find you on BGG. It's a great time to be a boardgame player. Lots of high quality experiences available for RPGers and Sword n Sorcery fans. I've been sucked into Kickstarter and Gencon. Zombicide Black Plague, Perdition's Mouth: Abyssal Rift are two I am immersed in. Got Deep Madness coming soon (thats Lovecraftian horror). Thought about Monilith's Conan, but am running out time and funds!

It's an honor to have you tour the Underworld, Periklis! Looking forward to your feedback.

BTW, Just weeks from now I'll have it's sequel published (it's called Helen's Daimones, which bridges Lords and Spawn of Dyscrasia).
