On June 24, 1987, Conan the Barbarian was screened on Joe Bob’s Drive-In Theater. Here’s a drawing of Arnold Schwarzenegger to celebrate!

Here’s an interesting essay on the current Sword & Sorcery fiction resurgence.

I think the kind of diversity the author is bemoaning the lack of absolutely exists in the modern scene—it’s what I try to draw attention to with my book reviews—but it just demonstrates how much work remains.

Si comme moi vous avez loupé l'annonce : #Mnémos fait un financement participatif pour une belle édition du Cycle des Épées, de Fritz #Leiber, sur le même modèle que ce qu'ils ont fait pour H.P. Lovecraft et Clark Ashton Smith. Je m'en serais voulu de l'avoir loupé !

"Oona the Unvanquishable," the 2-page zine in Scribe & Sigil APA, will finish 2026 with 10 issues and an annual (more on that later). The 10th issue, dated to December, will appear in S&S's 2027 volume. For 2027, I plan to switch to a bi-monthly schedule which should result in 5 issues and an annual (inshallah).
I'm considering also a newsletter which could also include a mailbag!

Good morning, #WritingCommunity. I've done an overhaul of an old story of mine. Everything is rewritten, reworked, and updated. I even have a new chapter live now. Instead of a novel-length story, I've turned everything into a series of short stories. "Fated By Fire" is now the name of said series. I hope you guys enjoy the ride. 🤍

If you enjoy Fantasy and Sword & Sorcery tales, this might be the one for you. Reviews are always appreciated.

⸻

This is the story of one mystic's journey, finding himself trapped in a world of lies and deceit. Something dark is hiding in the shadows and must be brought to justice in order to the save Yül. Elric, one of our heroes, finds he's linked to another being by shared dreams. But why, and will they ever find one another?
