Enjoy the cover of Tales of the E4 Mafia!
It’s finally out! Henchman Press has released Tales of the E4 Mafia!
This isn’t just a big deal because I have a story in the anthology, although Mob Rules is a cool story. Tales is a big deal, because it was my idea, and I did the editing and story selection for this. Well, except for Mob Rules. The publisher accepted my story and provided edits for it. Thanks, Leo!
That means you get to read 11 great stories from a variety of authors from all over the place. Here’s the story list:
Better to Beg Forgiveness by Scott Riechek
Short Supply by Michael LaVoice
Burping the Worm by Andrew Heymann
Surprise, Surprise, Surprise by Charles R. Scott
Mob Rules by Keith Hedger (yes, that’s me)
Into the Night by Barb Caffrey and Gail Sanders
Forever Young by Dan Kemp
Missing Man Formation by Ray Daley
Hardcore by Joshua Hill
Helmet by Chris Sommercorn
The Mafia is Eternal by Gaige Mosher
So, along with getting to read a bunch of cool stories, I learned a lot about the other side of writing. That space between writers and published fiction and the work, effort, and tasks that are required to get an anthology from idea to out in the world, available for people to read. I had to vet stories, make suggestions to authors who have churned their guts out to write a great story, coordinate contracts between the authors and the publisher, act as the information conduit between all parties, and become more than a bit of a project manager. In short, I learned a lot, and it’s my hope that you’ll take a change on us and this crazy thing we created.
If you’re into military science fiction, military fiction, science fiction and have a sense of humor, give Tales of the E4 Mafia a shot. It’s all tales from the soldier’s view, getting things done and solving problems in the way that only experienced enlisted soldiers can.
And if you enjoy the stories, please give us a review!
