Dear Worlds Without End Readers,

We have a personal message from Science Fiction and Fanytasy Master Kevin J. Anderson and an opportunity to participate in his Kickstarter with some pretty special offers:


Writers of the Future and Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I.

Dear Readers,

Many of you know me for the Star Wars or Dune universes. I also have my very fun and popular Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. series — like The Naked Gun meets the Addams Family.

Bats in the BelfryShamble’s next adventure, “Fire in the Hole,” is the cover story of Writers of the Future 39. This was a cool, unique project—the story is inspired by the amazing cover art, and I agreed to write the story before I even saw the painting. After seeing the fire dragon, how in the world was I going to fit a Zombie Detective into THAT? Well, I did—and the result is hilarious.

As a judge for the Writers of the Future Contest, I’m thrilled to present this year’s award-winning stories and stunning illustrations by the best of tomorrow. And for the audiobook, my actor friend Jim Meskimen knocked it out of the park!

More Dan Shamble news: I’m almost finished with the draft of BATS IN THE BELFRY, the new novel. Check out the Kickstarter campaign where I am offering some very special bonus items. You’ll laugh so hard, brains will come out your nose!

Happy reading.
