Cover Reveal and Early Release of Shadowrun: Makeda Red!

Shadowrun: Makeda Red is officially out at Origins Game Fair. This Shadowrun novel is part of the origin story for Rune Red of “Rune’s Avatar Cafe” (my Casablanca homage) from the World of Shadows anthology. This cover was created by the marvelous Peter Tikos!

 

ON A COLLISION COURSE… It was supposed be a simple extraction from the Brussels2Rome party train. With an eclectic crowd, a willing target, and a lot of nuyen at stake, what could go wrong?

Everything—as Makeda Red discovers the hard way.

There’s more than one target on the train, and more than one shadowrunner team in play. When someone sabotages the tracks in the middle of the Swiss Alps, she’s forced to extract her client much earlier than planned.To complicate matters, other survivors are also fleeing the crash for their own reasons. One of them is trying to escape his corporate masters as well, and offers to pay Makeda to escort him to his safe haven.

A paying client is a paying client, and his corp won’t be looking for three people traveling together. Makeda knows it’s a risk, but one she’s willing to take. In the shadows, however, nothing and no one is what they seem. Before it’s over, this already complicated run may be Makeda’s last…

Sunday is my birthday. I’m getting older than I’d like to admit. As much as I like gifts, I decided that for this birthday, I was going to give out a gift of fiction. In 2009, I created a chapbook called Mastication. It’s a series of six stories about things that eat people. We had 200 copies made and that’s it. I know there are physical copies of this once free chapbook out there for sale. Now you can get it at the Apocalypse Ink Productions store for free. And because people have asked… My ThinkGeek wishlist is here. If you are going to donor money in my name, please donate it to a charity caring for animals. In truth, I really love this. Thanks for sticking around. I appreciate it.

It has been an eventful couple of weeks. I didn’t have a chance to cheer about the final ShadowBytes podcast episode being released. With that, the eight episode series is done. I wrote and recorded each of the ShadowBytes episodes after Damien from The Violent Life Shadowrun podcast asked if I would like to work with him. Three of the episodes were excerpts from my Shadowrun novella, DocWagon 19. The other five episodes were a loosely linked story that told the origin and motivation of a shadowrunner who’d once been a happy corporate wage slave. ShadowBytes 01 – Worthy ShadowBytes 02 – Chrome Holly (DocWagon 19 excerpt) ShadowBytes 03 – Non-Compliant ShadowBytes 04 – Hey Jude (DocWagon 19 excerpt) ShadowBytes 05 – Hunger and the Hand That Feeds It ShadowBytes 06 – Miyazaki (DocWagon 19 excerpt) ShadowBytes 07 – Literal Milk Run ShadowBytes 08 – The Gift of Callousness There...
