A Special Summer edition of Flashing Swords magazine has just been released, and I've got another story in the issue.
Perchance a Pendant:
A wily rogue named Crow, better know to others as the Thiefmaster, is witness to the seemingly randomless slaying of an old man.
He watches as one of the killers removes an object from the old man's corpse.
A short time later Crow is in possesion of the object himself...and that's when thing's really start to get interesting.
Flashing Swords Magazine
My last story in issue #10 of Flashing Swords got a fairly good review from The Fix webzine. (Although I'm not sure why the reviewer didn't quite grasp the ending?)
Another reader wrote on a sci-fi forum:
"I absolutely loved the ambiguity of that ending! I'd even say that ending was enough to put two solid handholds on the first rung of the ladder marked as "literary" vs. "pulp".
And another fellow wrote:
Dude! Sorry. Mate! You wrote Jack Be Nimble, Jack Be Quick and Jet-Bike Boogie over at Pulp and Dagger?! You totally rock! I don't know if you're still into serials or not, but if so, you might wanna check out www.raygunrevival.com . They do space opera stuff, and they publish serialized novels. I'm still looking into it, myself. But Jet-Bike Boogie seems like their kinda stuff, to me, and I know that I'd check out a longer serial of yours if ya did one! Sorry, hadda gush like a rabid fanboy for a minute. I'm better now. Welcome! Tim
Note: I've actually removed my stories at Pulp and Dagger and hope to have them in one complete anthology before the end of the year.
Cheers: Jaq.
