Nick Horvath

Nick Horvath is the author of the Sledge vs. action-noir series. A native of northern Minnesota, Nick double-majored in Physics and English at Duke before embarking on a 12-year professional basketball career.

Since retirement from sport he's become a physics teacher and writer. Though he has yet to bludgeon anyone to death with his hardened bones, anyone wishing to date his daughter should consider themselves forewarned!

Nick draws inspiration from 80’s action and horror movies, fighting games, the Dark Souls universe, Robert. E Howard’s Conan, Frank Miller’s Sin City, and hard-boiled mystery

K.R. Gangi

Stories gift us with the ability to live countless lives.

In these lives we are able to conjure magic, battle against political corruption, pilot a spaceship, fly on the backs of dragons, or patrol through the jungles on a foreign planet. They intrigue us, scare us, make us laugh, make us cry, make us cringe, and make us mad.

Being able to feel so much by simply reading words is the true power of a story, and I hope you find power in mine.

Hi Folks!

My eighteenth novel, MALEVOLENT EIGHT is now available. Cade Ombra and his misfit band of mercenary war mages are determined to prevent a cataclysmic war between supernatural beings. But peace at any price might mean killing an awful lot of people. The Malevolent Seven might be heroes, but they'll be the good guys . . .

A swashbuckling fantasy set in the world of mystical theatre where exalted actors can channel the spirits of the historical figures they portray on stage. But Damelas Chademantaigne seems to be summoning the spirit of a notorious villain whose secrets could unleash a civil war!

I'm R.K. Lander and I have always loved fantasy.

I read Tolkien and Hobb. I read Robert Jordan and Will Wight. I read all those classic fantasy books and when there was nothing left to read, I wrote my own stories, the ones I wanted to read but couldn't find.

I love epic fantasy. The battles, the creatures, the riveting stories and sweeping worlds. But I love the characters just as much. I love the intrigue, the politics, the strategy and the philosophy behind the magic systems. I love imaginary worlds that make sense, and I love characters that think logically.

I love exploring the depths of the warrior mindset. I love the emotions that life-changing events bring about, and if I can make my readers feel all those things, then that is what I
