Announcing the Kindle edition release of Collider
https://a.co/d/04Jy51KV
The Kindle edition of Collider is now available!
This has literally been thirty years in the making. I’ve been developing the Danab Cycle this whole time, too, but the first story, the oldest story, had the humblest origins and as a result, had a complex journey to become a reality last year, in the process possibly becoming itself the most complex and ambitious story in

| Great introduction by Lillian Hellman, and the collection itself starts out well, then the last few stories are a drag, but at least they seem like they could’ve inspired Pynchon, so there’s that. Not Hammett’s best material (The Maltese Falcon, pres ...more | |

"This book is filled with lush, gorgeous artwork by Karl Kershl and Msassyk. It's like looking at a Studio Ghilbi cartoon. Unfortunately, Brenden Fletcher's story can't keep up with the artwork. I had no idea what was happening half the time, you can'"

| Wow! would I’ve been lost if I’d started here, and even then, I still only know two previous volumes worth of lore, but there are hints, here, of the mythology. Stone that, though, there’s an impressive feel of epic scale here that a lot of superhero ...more | |

| Turns out I had collected the twenty-sixth volume, too, belatedly, and had misfiled it. Glad I did! There’s foreshadowing to the next volume, and there’s a lot of character work in this one, giving me a better idea of what the series is like, and a m ...more | |

Mercyhurst was a pretty great community to be a part of for a year. I can only wonder what it would've been like for three more. I've never experienced a school merger. Erie itself was pretty great, reminded me a lot of my native Maine. I'm always working on something! Hope post collegiate life has treated you well.
Hi, Tony! Thanks for contacting me. Congratulations on your books! I hope you're well and having a great week. I'm glad you spent a year in Erie, PA, how did you like it? How did you like Mercyhurst? I attended Villa Maria College and Gannon University (during their merger--was accepted at both, started at Villa, graduated from Gannon. Have you ever lived through a school or college/university merger?). Well, happy reading, writing, and everything else, and all the best for future projects! Have a good day. Blessings!Best wishes from Majenta
