A Song to Sing!

Another mad month; I performed in and choreorgaphed the fights for As You Like It at the Pied Piper Theatre in Inwood, did fights for a new play "Francine", sold a short story to Tales of Old audio magazine, finished a new novel and sent it off (as requested) to an agent and signed a contract on Songs of a Warrior Priest!

Yes, my Altiva stories will be in print again from Whiskey Creek Press in 2012. This collection of shorts, novellas and a novelet tell the tale of the Priest of the Kova Lord Erique Shoutte. It will also sport this cover by myself, a first for my time with WCP.

So when it comes out, everyone buy it to convince them to do art on covers again and not just slap photos together!!

Another crazy quarter!!!

Its been a while since I posted and in that time I've performed at my 53rd renaissance faire, taught stage combat at two school summer sessions, choreographed As You Like It (which I'm also in) oh, and yeah, written two more books!!!

My newest book out is

*Shakespeared or Wally and the Fairy Queen by Teel James Glenn

From Eternalpress.biz

"Struggling actor and lifelong nerd Wally Chambers gets his big break when

he is cast as the masked part of Bottom in a production of Midsummer Night's

Dream. His joy is muted when he learns he will only be doing the masked part

because the obnoxious and famous Regis Fillmore doesn't want the bother of

wearing the donkey head make-up!

Wally is shocked to find out that his Titania is the voluptuous Hollywood

sex kitten, Audrey Flax! She is his dream girl so, despite hiding behind the

mask, he immediately signs on.

Regis has run up some debts with loan sharks and collectors start coming

around looking for the famous actor. That's when things get strange. A

stranger, cast in the role of Puck, turns out to be the real forest spirit!

Can Wally overcome his attraction to Audrey in order to keep her friendship?

Will the loan shark's men break parts of him before he can convince them he

is not Regis? And, who is that mysterious woman lurking in Belvedere

Castle?" "

more books, more reviews- no sleep!!!

It's been months again since I posted-mostly due to my mad schedule: I'm teaching sword, comic illustration and stage combat at Different Directions, the NY film Academy and the Pied Piper theatre--and still making my 2K word count each day!

I have a new website on the way soon, so keep watching...

Now--I've had two books out in the last two months- Shadows of New York book one in the new series about my 1930s adventurer Dr. Shadows. Mystery, adventure and fast paced pulp style action!!! This one is out from BooksforaBuck.com and is set in the same pulpverse as Deadline Zombies and the Skullmask stories.

And from EternalPress.biz is "Wake of the Red Mistress" a fantastical pirate tale with romance and shapeshifting! Its already been reviewed and here is an excerpt from that review:

Wake of the Red Mistress by TJ Glenn

From http://www.tony-paul.com/

Sister Shinara is caring for her group of novitiates when their ship the Courage is attacked and boarded by the crew of the pirate ship Red Mistress. With part of the Courage’s crew killed, Shinara realizes the chances of her little band coming through the experience unharmed isn’t very good, so she makes a bargain with the pirate’s female leader, Aurzia: spare them and she’ll take her to more treasure than she’s ever seen—the treasure of the Ardula Monastery.

…: A little different from Mr. Glenn’s usual offering in that this one features a bit of graphic sex and a lesbian villainess, Wake of the Red Mistress is nevertheless still full of the usual excitement and adventure we expect from one of his tales, There’s magic and shape-shifting and some twists..but the tale’s as filled with derring-do as most of his stories, and there’s a truly ironic reward awaiting the would-be pillagers of the Monastery. Indeed, the blurb from the book cover—a fantasy tale of thwarted love and piratical lust, blood, and treasure—says it all.

Read Wake of the Red Mistress, and sail into the sunset with this adventure.

RATING:

4 out of 5 stars!!!

So there you all have it--madness is the normal!! I edit my new book "Shakespeared: or Wally and the Fairie Queen" this weekend, have an online chat and then start on the edits any day for my western "Silence in God's Valley" and my fantasy "Queen Morgana and the Renfaries" both for Whiskey Creek Press...I'll sleep when I'm...well- you know...

New review of Gaslight Occurrences!!!

Review by TV Sweeny (2/25/11)


It’s the time of Queen Victoria...of SHerlock Holmes...and Septimus Argent. This gentleman is Her Majesty’s loyal servant, and he handles cases along the same lines as his venerated colleague Holmes...but on the other side of the coin...the occult side. Join Argent and his aide-de-camps, Jack Stone, (late Captain of Her majesty’s Royal Horse Guard)as they travel the breadth of the British Isles saving Queen and country from denizens of the Dark Side..
MY OPINION: Steampulp...and another of TJ Glenn’s informative Prologues to explain the genre. These stories are a delight, well-written and definitely in the Holmes-Watson line, though Jack Stone is definitely more athletic and ready for adventure than the Good Doctor. The fates of the villains are so awful and ironic one has to feel pity for those cads, though Greystone’s Descent reads more like a sad fairy tale than a thriller. Several names and characters tun as a thread through the stories, giving them coherence.

Score another hit for Mr. Glenn! They just keep coming.

RATING: 4 Stars
Gaslight Occurrences is available from Whiskey Creek Press.
