I've just released my first book, SmorgaSword, on Amazon. Click here for the product page:
This is a Kindle ebook version, and I'm planning to follow up with a paperback version via Createspace.
Here's the book description:
SmorgaSword is a story buffet, a selection of twelve unique short stories. Take a wild ride into the Great Red Spot of Jupiter, survive a post-Apocalyptic urban battle, follow the adventures of a superhero from another universe, catch the bad guys with the unlikeliest of detectives, explore strange and distant futures, and find fairytale happy endings along the way.
--The Menu--
-The Prison-
In a future utopia where science is everything, a young technician commits the unthinkable crime of irretrievably destroying data, and he is sentenced to an unusual punishment.
-The Tyrant-
A mind's eye view of the rapid rise and fall of a dictator.
-Morning Glory-
An orphan girl befriends a strange child who is more than he seems.
-Jump!-
A girl in another universe jumps to ours, and finds she is invincible. But all she wants is to jump back to her own world.
-Bull Elephant-
After an apocalyptic disaster, the survivors of an urban gang threaten the lives of farmers eking out a living in the debris of civilization.
-Venus Flytrap-
A special young lady leads the FBI on a no-so-merry chase to find a mysterious informant who seems to know everything.
-The New Outside-
A boy and girl try to escape from an artificial world where plants and animals are unknown.
-The Monster of Jupiter-
Two scientists get a closer look than planned at the Great Red Spot.
-Area X-
A conspiracy theorist tracks down a secret government facility, only to find something he wasn't expecting.
-Daughter of Eagles-
A wise woman gives a young princess a magic gift.
-The Empty Room-
A housemaid in nineteenth-century England finds a haunted room, which can be wonder or terror to those who go there.
-The Awakening of Trevor Still-
The chef's favorite. A modern fairy tale, a romance with a twist.
Congrats Philip!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover art and the name is brilliant... SmorgaSword... fits quite well :-) I’ll be sure to buy a copy when you get it on paper back. I don’t have an e-reader... I know I need to get one. Congrats again and blessings to you on this fun journey.
Thanks for the kind words, and for checking it out! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to doing a paperback; there's nothing quite like having a real book in your hands. :)
Got it on my Kindle now. I can't wait to read the few stories in this book I haven't read already! (And to re-read the ones I have) Awesome work, Philip.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dylan. :)
