The Odds Are Against Us


After a long, long publishing ordeal, an anthology of Military Fiction that I contributed to is now available on Amazon. The Odds Are Against Us is a collection of great stories dealing with virtue, bravery and valor. Stories of life and death conflict. Tales of survival and struggle, both armed and emotional. I'm a little biased but I think you'll like it.

It's always a pleasure to be involved in a project with writers I know and respect greatly. Both Frank Scalise and John Floyd are writers that fit that mold perfectly. It's an honor to have my name alongside theirs.

I'm not acquainted with the other writers, but it quickly became clear to me that I was lucky to just be included in the mix.

Oren Litwin who masterminded and edited this project from the very beginning deserves a lot of praise for seeing this through to a successful conclusion. He never gave up and there were plenty of times where some might have. Pick up a copy today! You won't regret it. - JW

Legend

I'm lucky enough to be acquainted with one of the most prolific and published writers out there...in any genre and any category. His name is James Reasoner. The man is a living legend in my mind (and plenty of others) as he has written for decades, four successful decades, to be exact. Think about that. 

I'm citing some round numbers here but James has written literally hundreds of books under his own name and publishing 'house names'...over 350 Westerns, Historicals, and other genres. He posted the other day that he is closing in on 30 million words written. So yes, I'd say I'm very lucky to be acquainted with James. 

He has written book reviews of the previous Ania Series books and my deep gratitude goes out to him for his recent comments regarding Harbinger. You can find that post, along with a wonderful blog called Rough Edges, right here.

Harbinger - The Ania Series Prequel

Set on the sunny Gulf coast of Florida, Harbinger centers around two lifelong friends and fishing charter boat partners, Boyd Tomlin and Hicks Ledoux. Boyd is the serious one who always makes sure things get done, and Hicks is the carefree one who always makes sure everyone has a good time.

But times aren’t so good. They are struggling to get charters, and bills are coming due. In desperate need of money, they consider smuggling drugs to make ends meet. By chance or fate, they meet two beautiful sisters who will change everything—a young Ania and her kid sister Karolyn. Hicks is immediately attached to the brash, confident Ania while Boyd gravitates toward Karolyn.

As romance blossoms, Boyd and Hicks quickly find themselves embroiled in the world of illegal drug trade, romance, danger and violence lurking around every corner.
