Now (Re)publishing via Red Muse Press!

June 1, 2016 By Michael G. Munz Leave a Comment

And so it begins!

So you heard the news a few weeks ago: Booktrope, the publisher I signed with in 2014, went out of business as of May 31st. As I retain the rights to my books, I’ve chosen, for the moment, to republish them myself under my own imprint. I’m now pleased to present to you the name of that imprint, along with its own fancy-ass logo!

Red Muse Press Logo

Actually, I suppose it’s kind of a simple-ass logo. But it’s a logo. They’re supposed to be efficient like that. And I really like it. So there.

Anxious!

May 31, 2016 By Michael G. Munz Leave a Comment

So with today being the last day my old publisher is in business, and my being nervous about making sure my books get transferred back to me and set up again for sale properly, you might say I’m a little anxious. How anxious? Well I’m glad you asked, hypothetical person! I’ve been venting a bit on Twitter…

Big day today.
Anxious as a red shirt marooned alone with Captain Kirk.

My publisher is dissolving. So what’s next for me?

May 1, 2016 By Michael G. Munz Leave a Comment

Booktrope Logo

Gone at the end of the month.

On Friday I received some disheartening news: Booktrope, my publisher for the past two years, will be going out of business on May 31st. The news hit me and the rest of my fellow Booktropian authors pretty hard. While there were recent signs of problems, I hadn’t expected things to take this particular turn. [Read more…]

Cover Reveal: “War Witch” by Cain Latrani

November 15, 2015 By Michael G. Munz Leave a Comment

War Witch: Rise, a fantasy novel by guest geek Cain S. Latrani, is coming next month, and I’m pleased to be one of the first to debut the cover art and tell you a little more about it…

War Witch: Rise

Cover design by the always amazing Amalia Chitulescu…

In the war between Heaven and Hell, mortals are the weapons. Granted Divine Power, the Blessed are agents of the Gods, seeking out the Demon Seed and showing them no mercy in an endless war for the fate of creation.

For one such Blessed, Ramora, the mute warrior priestess of the God of War, to save the Middle World means hunting down the Dark Blessed who took everything from her. A fierce, strong, and clever Cleric, backed by a lost art of magic, she foolishly believes herself ready for the battles to come.

By her side, Chara, a young farm girl with an unusually agile mind, and a fate that may yet destroy her as she is groomed by Heaven itself to be a weapon like none other. Her illusions of herself, and the nature of the world, will be stripped away as she faces absolute evil with nothing but her desire to stand firm.

Together, they will challenge Hell, and the most fearsome foe the world has ever seen.


About the Author: Cain S. Latrani is the totally made up name of a middle aged dude who spends all his free time playing Dungeons & Dragons, watching anime, and herding cats. Sometimes, he makes things up and writes them down in an effort to be a serious adult, a role he has proven to be ill suited for. He’s much better at being a Fighter. They get swords. Nobody will give him a sword in real life, which makes real life kinda suck. Catch up with him on Facebook, Twitter, and his blog…

Writing Update: A Dragon at the Gate

January 16, 2015 By Michael G. Munz 2 Comments

A Dragon at the Gate

No one still really knows WHAT is in that ship.
That will change.

My writing on A Dragon at the Gate, the third and final book in The New Aeneid Cycle cyberpunk series, proceeds apace.

Wait, am I using that word correctly? *looks up “apace”* Hmm. “With speed?” “Quickly?” Let me start this over:

My writing on A Dragon at the Gate, the third and final book in The New Aeneid Cycle cyberpunk series, proceeds semi-apace! [Read more…]
