With the latest novel in the Sleeping Legion series fresh out this week, here are some calm and thoughtful reflections on his writing experience by its author, JR Handley.

VOTE NOW!! One of my covers made this months bracket!
Happy first everyone! It’s time to kick off a new bracket. If you’re curios or new, check out the Book Covers for December, January, February, and March.
April’s bracket has 30 new covers. Age of Myth is fighting more than I’ve ever seen a cover fight. Michael J. Sullivan finished with the top most votes in the semifinals, which earned him yet another shot in this month’s bracket. Frank Dorrian’s To Brave the End was last month’s runner up, so he gets another crack at the bracket as well.

Max participation is a huge deal to me. The more people who vote, the more recognition these authors and artists receive, and I…

Others have inquired if the ‘author’ is really alive at all, suspecting he is really a rogue 1997 code branch of ‘Clippy’, the…

Spolier Free Summary: The Legion Awakes is the first book in the Sleeping Legion saga by J.R. Handley. Sergeant Lance Scipio is pulled from cryo sleep to revive ancient combat tactics with a cadet squad.

His squad must prove that test wrong or risk being Culled.
Character: Lance is memorable, and he’s compelling to read about in an 1980’s action movie sort of way. What this book…

Hey Space Cadets, just wanted to give you a quick update! I’m still alive, I’m just deep into the final edits with Operation Breakout. It’s looking even better than I’d hoped after Corey got his teeth into the story. Until then, enjoy this awesome interview of one of my favorite authors, Terry Mixon.
Until next time, stay frosty and don’t forget to keep your powder dry!
