Planks and Plunder (Raconteur Press Anthologies Book 61)

These yarns o’ piracy take place in the near future, or the far past, in worlds almost too fantastical and mayhap too glacial, eerie, and everywhere in between. You’ll come upon pirates ruthless, some with hearts of gold, some on a mission, and some learning a thing or two about themselves in the thick of things. We may be outlaws, but we still breathe the same life-giving mixture of oxygen and whatnot as the haughtiest king and humblest Calesian civilian. We’re just more honest and forthright about our intentions. Savvy?

Wench! Another round for my fine crew. We need to slake our thirst during the telling of these fine tales…

YEAH. DEMOCRATS ARE GENUINELY FRIGHTENING:  Running on Fumes.

FROM DENTON SALLE:  The Summoned Sage: The Summoned Sage Book 1.

“Don’t bother. I’m already dead,” the man said. “Only a spell keeps me here.”
I froze and he continued speaking. “I am sorry I had to summon you. I wanted a young hero, not a sage. But someone must carry the scroll to my teachers, lest the world end in blood and terror.”

A dying scribe-magician ripped me from my retirement in Texas to help save his world. A world kind of like Old China, where the legends and tales about cultivators are real. And I have no idea how this works. All I have is some years of practicing an internal martial art.

But I’m trying to complete his quest as thugs from a tong, monsters, and other cultivators hunt me before some catalysmic event destroys the world. They killed him for this scroll, and I’m pretty sure I’m next. If the foxes or fu dogs don’t eat me first.

And I’ve picked up this girl by mistake, which complicates things even more. Maybe I don’t want to go home? But can I even survive in a world like this? Assuming I can complete this quest before it all goes to hell?

If you enjoy Beware of Chicken or the Unintended Cultivator, you’ll love this isakai adventure where a man from Texas finds the magic powers of taoist myth are real and a world depends on his choices.

READ THIS:  The Lost Boys and Girls of October 7. On the Nova massacre.

William Lehman sent it to me with this:

Read this. Just take the three or five minutes it takes and READ the damn thing. It will be hard. You will want this to just end. You will say to your self, NO MORE. You should not stop. You owe it, not to your self, but to future generations, to read and to UNDERSTAND the wrong, and the pain, the surprise and the injustice, the horror and the evil. Then never forget. Never forgive. Damn them to the outer cold, where warmth never penetrates, and they wander in the dark forever.
