R. Michael Burns

I’m thrilled to announce that I am the current Featured Artist on the websites of Midnight Syndicate and Legions of the Night.   Check out the pages here:   www.MidnightSyndicate.com, www.LegionsoftheNight.com, and www.Facebook.com/MidnightSyndicate

If you aren’t familiar with Midnight Syndicate, you ought to be.  They create amazingly creepy and atmospheric music, and it’s no lie to say that I do some of my best writing with Midnight Syndicate to set the mood.

And I dare ya — yup, actually DARE — to read Windwalkers while listening to, say, Gates of Delirium or The 13th Hour.  If that doesn’t inspire a nightmare or two, you’re made of some pretty tough stuff.

“Shadows and Hellfire” — the third tale of the samurai Hokage and his shape-shifting companion Sasa — is now up on Heroic Fantasy Quarterly!

You can jump straight to my tale by going here: http://www.heroicfantasyquarterly.com/?p=1293 — but do give the rest of the issue a look!  And remember, you can find the previous tales by poking around in their archives, or by going to the page on my website devoted to the Hokage tales.

Very proud to announce that I will be appearing as a guest author at this year’s SWAMP CON right here in Gainesville, FL.

Swamp Con is a FREE con in its second year, and will be held at the Reitz Union on the campus of the University of Florida during the weekend of January 12 and 13.

You can see my smilin’ face and check out the other guest authors here:  http://swampcon.com/guests/authors/

There will be panels on everything from the work of Joss Whedon to gaming to historical fiction.  Should be great fun!

Hope to see you there!
