I edited and published numerous heroic titles under Rogue Blades as both RBE, a micro publisher of heroic adventure fiction, and RBF, a nonprofit literary publisher of explorations of the heroic. If you enjoy hard-hitting, fast-paced tales of ringing steel and dark magics found in the battles of lore and myth, updated and written for the modern reader, you should check them out.

Personally, I also write heroic tales. Jason M (with and without that pesky period) are one and the same. Jason M Waltz enjoys sharing tales of heroes who are willing to step into the gap...sometimes to fill it, sometimes to make it wider.

I Wanna Talk About Me!

As if this Substack wasn’t already mostly about me…I wanna talk some more about me today. Me and my writing :)

Last post, I told you about my mercenary team finding a home in Mercs & Mayhem. The fellas got a complimentary look from Ben Gibson over at Coldlight Press. Ben (who is half of a writing duo also appearing in the same anthology and with a rather cool world and mercenary company) kindly com

"
... it is the pace that counts, not the logic or the plausibility or the style.
Chandler fans - and you know who you are - will find more of interest in this (basically) collection of letters than they might think.

Savage Realms Monthly by Charles Gramlich

Clear rating
odd issue. Gramlich knocks pure Sword and Sorcery story and character outta the ballpark. 5 stars. Dunne does not. 0 stars. Bartolome sorta does. 2ish stars. Gramlich alone saves this 3 stars.
Jason Waltz is 96% done with Savage Realms Monthly: Bartolome, "Marrow-Eater": very Seinen Manga-like: entertaining, over-powered, bittersweet.

Topics Mentioning This Author

Robert E. Howard
“Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.”
Robert E. Howard

Robert E. Howard
“I have known many gods. He who denies them is as blind as he who trusts them too deeply. I seek not beyond death. It may be the blackness averred by the Nemedian skeptics, or Crom's realm of ice and cloud, or the snowy plains and vaulted halls of the Nordheimer's Valhalla. I know not, nor do I care. Let me live deep while I live; let me know the rich juices of red meat and stinging wine on my palate, the hot embrace of white arms, the mad exultation of battle when the blue blades flame and crimson, and I am content. Let teachers and philosophers brood over questions of reality and illusion. I know this: if life is illusion, then I am no less an illusion, and being thus, the illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, and am content.”
Robert E. Howard and L. Sprague De Camp, Queen of the Black Coast

Robert E. Howard
“The more I see of what you call civilization, the more highly I think of what you call savagery!”
Robert E. Howard, King Kull

Robert E. Howard
“By this axe I rule!”
Robert E. Howard, Kull: Exile of Atlantis

Robert E. Howard
“When a nation forgets her skill in war, when her religion becomes a mockery, when the whole nation becomes a nation of money-grabbers, then the wild tribes, the barbarians drive in... Who will our invaders be? From whence will they come?”
Robert E. Howard
