INTRODUCING... JEFF DEISCHER'S STRANGE DAYS!

I wrote intro for Jeff Deischer's new novel, STRANGE DAYS, which is now on sale.

It's always a pleasure to be asked to write an introduction for a novel. I get asked often, but don't always have time, but when I can squeeze one in, I really enjoy it. Plus, I get to read the novel before anyone else. That's always fun.

Here's the info on Jeff's novel.

THE SUMMER OF ARGENT CONTINUES!

The fourth volume of the Argent series, a superhero universe of my own creation with stories set primarily in the Silver Age, is now available. Strange Days features the Mysterians, who debuted in Argent (published last year). Here they take center stage, with each member getting his or her origin told, as well as the team origin – including that of the team’s mysterious unseen leader, Dr. Destiny. The volume is organized into four “books” separated by “interludes”. The team faces such menaces as the Sorcerer, who bends reality to his will, the infallible Brain, a criminal mastermind with a superhuman mind, Gargantua, who can rearrange his body into form, and the Gauntlet and his Insidians. Introduction by Bobby Nash! Now available on Amazon and Create Space.
About Strange Days:
Strange Days Indeed The 1950s were a time of hidden menace in America. Communist spies lurked around every corner and the bomb could drop at any moment. No one was above suspicion. It is into these times that the Mysterians appear. The patients of the Destry Clinic are freaks, possessing superhuman abilities – but superhuman appearances as well. They cannot simply remove a costume and disappear into a crowd. They are unlike the other heroes of the Argentverse. Dr. Destiny, the mysterious, unseen leader of the Mysterians. Mach, whose ability to fly at tremendous speed is slowly killing him. NRG, who must wear cumbersome armor to protect others from his deadly energy. Metallica, who possesses metal skin. The Mysterians face equally astonishing menaces, including Gargantua, who can mold his form into any shape; the Brain, a criminal mastermind with a superhuman mind; the stunning Sorcerer, who can perform seeming miracles; the Gauntlet and his Insidians.

WHERE HAVE YOU GONE, MAJOR FUTURE?

Jeff Deischer’s Future Tense: The Golden Age Volume 5 is now available. Features an introduction by some guy named Nash.

Future Tense: The Golden Age Volume 5 - Now available!
by Jeff Deischer

WHO IS MAJOR FUTURE? Like many other heroes of the Auric Universe, Major Future seemed to come from nowhere. In his case, it was more true than in others’. In 1943, a man with superhuman powers that included strength, agility and the ability to see radio waves, found himself in Los Angeles. How he got there and why he had these special abilities, he did not know. Impelled by some inner drive to help others, he took the name “Major Future” and became a superhero. Future Tense tells the full origin of the hero known as Major Future.

Paperback: 234 pages
Product Dimensions: 9 x 6 x 0.5 inches
List price: $14.00

Check out Future Tense: The Golden Age Volume 5 here and here.

Congratulations on another winner, Jeff. This was a fun read.

INTRODUCING...

I've checked another item off the literary bucket list. I've never written an introduction to another author's novel. Until today.

It's definitely an interesting experience talking about another author's work and setting the stage in a way that's different than writing a review of a book I've read or one of my own work. I hope the author and publisher like it. Can't say much more than that right now. Once the publisher announces the novel, I'll post it here.
