Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters – Ch 15

February 22, 2015 By Michael G. Munz 2 Comments

In which Michael is repeatedly made a fool of.

In which Michael is repeatedly made a fool of.
But in a good way.

In this corner: Polyphemus the Giant Cyclops! In THIS corner: Nobody! That’s can only mean that it’s time for the fifteenth part of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters…

Nobody Gets the Fleece

Okay, this is just an excellent chapter. The action is fast and flowing, we get Tyson back (along with the humor that comes from his being around), and I was surprised on multiple occasions. Of course, Annabeth probably didn’t like the chapter so much. The poor girl has gotten pummeled more than John Crichton lately. [Read more…]

Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters – Ch 13

February 8, 2015 By Michael G. Munz 1 Comment

Chapter 13

Everyone with triskaidekaphobia may sit this one out.
Okay, so I really just like to say “triskaidekaphobia.”

Do you ever get a song stuck in your head that you just can’t seem to get rid of unless you jump overboard, swim through a minefield, and drown yourself? Then you’ll be able to relate to the events in the next chapter of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters…

Annabeth Tries to Swim Home

Now, on the surface, blowing up everything would appear to be an ideal solution!

Well holy CARP! That chapter sure ended with a bang, didn’t it? (Yeah, I made a pun. Possibly two. I make no apology.) It’s time for the next part of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters…

Norwescon 38: The Sci-Fi, The Fantasy, and Me!

January 27, 2015 By Michael G. Munz 5 Comments

That sounds like a parody of “The Rainbow Connection” from The Muppet Movie, doesn’t it?

Come see me being all professional and junk.

Come see me being all professional an’ junk.

Norwescon 38 is coming this April! For those of you who don’t know, it’s the Pacific Northwest’s premier science fiction and fantasy convention. What’s more, I’m going to be there as a professional-type-person! I’ll be reading from Zeus Is Dead: A Monstrously Inconvenient Adventure, signing autographs, and serving on some of the conference panels.

I’m not entirely sure exactly which panels I’ll be on. That’s still being decided. What I can tell you is the reading will be at 1pm on Friday, April 3rd.

Oh, and George R.R. Martin will also be there, along with a bunch of exhibitors, awesome panels, and other professional weirdos just like me! That is, unless Martin slaughters us all. It could happen. The organizers have offered insurance.

It’s April 2nd through the 5th at the SeaTac Doubletree Hotel. Check out the Norwescon site for more conference information, grab some tickets, and come hang out with me and George R.R. Martin!

George R. R. Martin

He has no idea who I am!

Norwescon registration closes March 28th!

Want a free dark fantasy detective novella?

On the Matter of the Red Hand by J.M. Guillen

Incidentally, this cover was designed by Amalia Chitulescu, who also did the covers for A Shadow in the Flames and A Memory in the Black…

Hi everyone! This is just a quick post to let you know that dark fantasy author J.M. Guillen is currently letting e-copies of his novella, On the Matter of the Red Hand, go for free on Amazon! 

I read this book about a year and a half ago, and I recommended it then when it wasn’t free, so now that you can get it at the push of a button, it’s even more worth your while. Set in “an intriguing pre-industrial setting filled with alchemy, guilds, and danger” (to quote my original review), On the Matter of the Red Hand introduces us to a class of detectives guided by an alchemical serum that gives both prophetic visions and waking nightmares.

Click here to read my review.
