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.

A New Coughran Story!
Here's a little ditty from Jason and Logan

Here's a new word for some of you: freedom.

Oh, sorry. I mean Sloboda.

A Slavic word indicating freedom or liberty both personal and political. It is also the word I chose for the title of Coughran's latest story.

A story I am delighted L.D. Whitney took for inclusion at his home for good ol’ pulpy action adventure sans the speculative, Cliffhanger! Magazine.

Warlock by Chris Turner
"Pretty good fantasy read with some sword and sorcery elements. Very fast paced. Some pretty basic stuff. I liked it enough to see how the swordsman protagonist fares after the defeat of the Warlock. On to the second book."

Jason Waltz is on page 103 of 310 of Last Sword of Power: As per book 1, cool character growing into himself along with a god who just happens to help.

3 stars given painfully. to my sorrow. it was my delight to return to David Gemmell's writing - it's been awhile, and if I claim to write in his tradition I certainly better refresh my muse, eh?

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
