The anthology “Dark Tales of Lost Civilizations,” with my story The Talisman of Hatra, is now on sale at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. It’s the first time one of my stories is available in a print book, so needless to say I’m rather excited.
Other authors in the anthology include Joe R. Lansdale, award-winning author of numerous novels and screenplays, as well as my friend and fellow Wordslinger Folly Blaine. I can’t wait to get my contributor’s copy so I can read everyone else’s stories, too.
*does a happy dance*




Congratulations Andrew. Keep up the good work. I want to be able to say “I knew him when.” Uncle Bob
Congratulations, Andrew! I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy.

Curses! I just went to the local B&N, and they didn’t have a copy!
Yeah, since it’s a small press publication, I’m guessing it probably won’t be available at most physical stores. It could also be that shipments haven’t reached them yet, but it’s probably just too small a run. If the Barnes & Noble or Quail Ridge Books in Raleigh did want to stock it, I’m pretty sure I could send enough people their way to sell them out.
Eh, I cheated afterwards and ordered it online. Now I just need to figure out a good way to fanboi a certain author for an autograph…;)
Woo! Just got my copy in the mail today.
