The Odds Are Against Us

Only 6 days left to make a pledge of support for this military fiction anthology. Prizes for different levels of donations are being offered and some great stories are being compiled for this book project entitled The Odds Are Against Us. Check out my friend Frank Scalise's video right here, where he discusses and explains this soon to be published anthology and all the efforts being made to ensure this book is both well written and well read.

The full story and homepage of this current project which also further details plans for upcoming publications is linked here. This short story collection, followed by these other future projects anthologies are being planned, coordinated and ultimately made available to the public by Oren Litwin, Publisher/Editor. Please check it out.

Military Fiction Anthology

I already mentioned this below but I'm posting this again because Military Fiction deserves more exposure. This kickstarter has really taken off so please take a look and see if you can make a small pledge to see this anthology realize its full potential.

Go here: Odds Are Againt Us and be sure to scroll down and around to see what this is all about - and hey, while you're there check out my writing buddy Frank Scalise in a video endorsement he graciously made for this anthology.

An Exciting New Project

Recently I submitted a story for a new Military Fiction Anthology that is being compiled, coordinated and edited by a gentleman named Oren Litwin which you can read all about here. In connection and in support of this effort he has also began a Kickstarter Program for the anthology which is titled Against All Odds. The kickstarter information can be found here.

I was lucky enough to have a story selected for this anthology and you're going to see some familiar names and some very talented writers involved, myself not included in that description. How about a guy named Frank Scalise, my writing partner for the Ania 3 book series we co-wrote together? How about a guy named John Floyd, a true gentleman besides being an award winning and gifted writer?

There are more authors coming, there is some tremendous early support being shown by interested folks and there have been friends and associates of mine who have posted on this and supported it like Paul Brazill and James Reasoner. I thank them sincerely for that. If you can support this by pledging a small amount it will be highly appreciated - and please use these links to forward on the news and help make this a success.
