If you’ve been following me on social media (and if you’re not, then how the heck did you get here?), you might have caught the initial announcement a couple of weeks ago: the audiobook rights to Zeus Is Dead: A Monstrously Inconvenient Adventure have been acquired by Tantor Media. Even as I type this, they’re working on it for a late summer 2018 release! [Read more…]

Zeus Is Dead has been optioned!
So, wow.
Wow.
This is just pretty frelling awesome, if you’ll pardon my saying so. I’m just a little bit excited here. Why? (Thank you, imaginary leading-question-person!) After having to keep this under my hat for months, it’s finally official: my comedic fantasy novel, Zeus Is Dead: A Monstrously Inconvenient Adventure, has been optioned by 5×5 Media, Inc. with an eye to develop it into a TV series!!!(!)
I can’t tell you how good it feels to finally be able to TELL people his! It’s bee a while in coming, with lots of maybes, hypotheticals, and uncertainty. There were a lot of positive indications that something might be happening, but, at last, an actual, official option agreement was drawn up, reviewed, and signed! [Read more…]

A Shadow in the Flames, the first book in my now complete cyberpunk series The New Aeneid Cycle, is now available for FREE on Kindle, Nook, iTunes, and Kobo! Start the series for free today! (Or tomorrow, or Friday. You know, whatever.) 😀
It’s already the #2 free cyberpunk genre book on Amazon!
Northgate is in turmoil. Decaying, violent, and corrupt, it is a common enough city in 2051, yet soon, discoveries beneath the Moon’s surface will mark the city with their first distant echoes.
New arrival Michael Flynn is jobless and down to his last few dollars, but he still dreams of making a positive difference of his own. He has no family, no friends—save for the freelancer known only as Diomedes—and tonight the apartment they share will burn to the ground.
When Diomedes becomes his mentor in a search for the arsonist responsible, Michael will get the chance to realize his dreams. Joining them is Felix, a wise-cracking “information bounty hunter” who claims that neither the arsonist nor the man Michael idolizes are quite what they appear.
Will Michael find the courage to pass through the flames unscathed, or will the violence that surrounds him incinerate all that he is? Those who search the Moon will be watching…
And now it’s free!
A Dragon at the Gate – RELEASE DAY!
It’s finally here!
A Dragon at the Gate is now officially available! The saga of my cyberpunk series The New Aeneid Cycle is now complete! You can finally find out what’s going to happen with the timed nanopoison in a certain character’s heart, if another character’s fractured memory can be salvaged, and just what the heck is lurking in the unexplored parts of the crashed alien craft on the moon!
Reviews from early readers are already starting to come in:
“A Dragon at the Gate was a perfect way to finish a creative and inventive series. If you are into dark, futuristic fiction with a great touch of humor, The New Aeneid Cycle is a fantastic series for you.” —2BookLoversReviews.com
“From the first page to the last, A Dragon At The Gate was packed cover to cover with action, mystery and those nagging little questions that keep you turning pages hours after you should have already been asleep.” —Kelly Upton, Amazon review
“For the first 150 pages, the adventure from the first two books in the series continues. There are some surprises, but I saw the novel as a nice, well-done continuation. And for the record, I was worried about recalling the events of the first two, but I shouldn’t have been. There are subtle reminders to jog your memory without seeming obtrusive or out of place. Then, wow, this goes places I could never have imagined.” —Matt Ward, Goodreads review
“Michael’s narrative style is fast paced, often sliding into a conversational tone, making the book a fun read. He never tells you what happens, he relates it, which is a hallmark of the great writers.” —Cain Latrani, author of Rise
I’m EXCITED!!
(Did I mention that?)
Right now, A Dragon at the Gate is in a limited release, available in both paperback and ebook on Amazon only. In November it will also be available on Nook, iTunes, and Kobo, but for the moment I’m taking advantage of an Amazon advertising program that’s only available if the book is exclusive to them. The better a book does in its first 30 days on Amazon, the more attention it gets for the rest of its life, so I’m doing all I can to boost it there.
So hey, why not grab the book right now? And then have some ice cream! You deserve it!
A Dragon at the Gate available for pre-order! Plus a 99 cent sale!
As the August 17th release day hurtles toward us for A Dragon at the Gate, the final book in my cyberpunk adventure series The New Aeneid Cycle, I’m excited to announce that you can now pre-order the book!
What’s more, right now you can also get books 1 and 2 in the series for just 99 cents each!
Each book in the series has its own stand-alone narrative arc, so you can pick up any book and be okay, but of course all three together make up the complete story…
A SHADOW IN THE FLAMES – 99 cent sale for Kindle
“A decaying city, a mysterious arson, and a secret below the moon’s surface drive the action of this engaging and thought-provoking sci-fi thriller. A Shadow in the Flames will keep you guessing to the very end.”
—Terry Persun, author of Revison 7: DNA
“Dark, violent, relentlessly intriguing and action-packed, A Shadow in the Flames excels at dystopian world building. A well-developed, multi-layered story that grabs the reader on page one and never lets go.”
—Kenneth G. Bennett, author of Exodus 2022
A MEMORY IN THE BLACK – 99 cent sale for Kindle
“Munz skillfully interposes characters and events in a way that keeps one guessing, while ever hinting that the story—and the conspiracy behind it—is far vaster than one ever sees.”
—JM Guillen, author of On the Matter of the Red Hand
“A great story contrasting corporate greed and corruption with the hope to save humanity from itself. I love the darkness that is exposed in A Memory in the Black, the depths that people will stoop to just to serve their own purpose.”
—2BookLoversReviews.com
A DRAGON AT THE GATE – Pre-order at $3.99 for Kindle
“Not a book to read before bed unless you aren’t planning on going to sleep until sometime next week. Munz has a way of developing female characters that are believably badass and likable. I especially fell in love with the cybernetic implant technology. Damn it, now I want some glowing hair.”
—Tiffany Pitts, author of Double Blind
“In a time where so many stories are re-hashed sequels and re-boots, Munz has created some truly spectacular science fiction. The entire series delivers what it promises, and so much more. Every time I believed I knew what came next, I found myself very pleasantly surprised.”
—JM Guillen, author of The Paean of Sundered Dreams
At the moment, the pre-order and sales are only available on the Kindle versions. A paperback version of A Dragon at the Gate will also be available starting on August 17th. I can’t wait for everyone to read it! I really feel the series just gets better with each successive book.
Thanks for reading!
Zeus Is Dead & The New Aeneid Cycle returns to paperback!
When Booktrope, my former publisher, closed its doors at the end of May, I focused on getting the ebook versions of my novels back up for sale under my new imprint, Red Muse Press, as soon as possible. Missing since then have been the paperback versions. Well, no longer!
I’m pleased to announce that the Red Muse Press versions of all of my existing novels are now available on Amazon. Not only that, they’re at lower prices than they were previously. So far, most of my readers prefer ebooks, but for those of you who like to the feel of a physical book in your hands, I’m excited to offer them again.
A Dragon at the Gate will be releasing in paperback as well, but not until August 17th…
