| Publisher Description: Shadow Dreams Nightmare features Jim LeMay's Shadow Jack, Richard Friesen's The Tower of Dreams, Wayne Faust and Charles Eugene Anderson's Europa Nightmare. Four Colorado writers produced this collection of three epic stories. They all had the great fortune to work closely with the late Nebula Award-winning author and Horror Grandmaster Edward Bryant. That felt much like serving under a compassionate Medieval Guild-master. They feel honored for the opportunity to learn as his apprentice writers and sorely miss their mentor and friend. All three stories are a fine mixture of storytelling that brings different types of speculative fiction together into one gigantic book. It will keep readers delighted for many hours of enjoyment. |
Contributor Bio(s): Faust, Wayne: - Wayne Faust has been a full-time music and comedy performer for over 40 years, playing in 40 states and overseas in England, Scotland, and Holland. His funny songs have been heard on the radio all over the world and on the Internet. While on the road, he writes science-fiction and has over 40 stories published in various places, including Norway, Australia, and South Africa. He's published two full-length books, "Thirty Years Without A Real Job," a fast-moving and entertaining memoir of his life in show business, and "12 Parables," a collection of short stories. You can find more than you'll ever need to know about Wayne on his website at: www.waynefaust.com.Friesen, Richard E.: - Once, a man asked my why I would want to write fiction. Days later, I had an answer: If I could not write, I would sing If I could not sing, I would play If I could not play, I would dance If I could not dance, I would paint If I could not paint, I would sculpt For if my heart had no voice, it would surely die. So here I am, a science fiction and fantasy author, with a soon-to-be-completed epic fantasy series, The Dreaming King Saga. It started as three books-a classic trilogy-but somewhere along the way it turned in to five books. Some of the less obvious things I did in this series are: Having an Epic Fantasy king who is not a warrior and does not fight. He's a scholar. I also made a nation where winter court is in the mountains and summer court is out on the plains. The country of Dendalen is also a dual-culture, since the Paluan Empire had ruled the plains for a century. When the mountain people drove the empire out, some people and some culture stayed. My next project is a near-future science fiction series (at least one book, probably three or more) about artificial intelligence and the future of computing, where I get to use some of my day-job knowledge of system administration, computers, and the cloud. The series is the Wetware Wizards. Unfortunately, I have to change the title of the first book, so I can't tell you what it is yet.Lemay, Jim: - "Jim LeMay is originally from Missouri, the land of Mark Twain, Yogi Berra, Walter Cronkite, Edwin Hubble, Robert A. Heinlein and many other worthies so he knows his characters well. He has engaged in many of the vocations and avocations practiced by them - homebrewer, bartender, waiter, land surveyor, civil engineer, land developer - and in some they have not: newspaper man, copyeditor, artist and others best forgotten. Jim now lives with his wife Nyla in the Denver metropolitan area." |
