Works of Richard Marsden

WHAT'S NEW?

New Works to be Published! 

I should have several new pieces of work published shortly;

 released issue 6 that contains a history article by me regarding the Battle of Waterloo. The magazine is lovingly made and can be bought in print-format, which I highly reccomend. For the size of the magazine it is a real bargain!

Books for Monsters published a short story entitled, "Champion" in their second edition! A trucker is intrigued by an arm-wrestling contest. Check them out!

published a short story called, "Age of Enlightenment" on September 15th! It involves a vampire hunter, a vampire (of course), and an election in the time of Frederick the Great!

has published my story in September, "The Spirit of Nationalism" in their 4th issue. The story involves Napoleon's Retreat from Russia, with a dash of horror!

has selected the story, "Travelling Tyrant" for publication. It was placed in their print magazine in October! The story is a humerous tale about the woes of a planetary dictator!

They'll be publishing another story in April about Tom Darmy the detective, who handles supernatural cases entitled, "The Oak on 31st Street".

Reflection's Edge will be publishing a historical article I wrote about Western Swordfighting. It will include schools of thought and exciting video links! Expect it December 1st!

I'll have the story, "Beneath the Veneer" in an anthology entitled, "Zombonauts" - "A Zombies in Space Anthology" by "Library of the Living Dead Press". There website can be found here. Release date is Winter 2009 and the book will be able to be purchased from Amazon.com.

Published Works 

 

Pseudopod published my short story "Grave of Ships" on March 13th 2009 as 133 pod-cast with a dramatic reading by Ian Stuart. The story is read to perfection and I encourage people to follow the link, find story 133 "Grave of Ships" and give it a read!

Oh and please feed the pod if you liked it! They gave me a chance and with your donations they'll give others the same.

Absent Willow Review published a horror tale of mine, "Robert M. Munroe" June 16th. I am delighted.

 published "King and Country", a WWI alternate-history story, July 19th. Give them a read.

Heroic Fantasy Quarterly published a fantasy tale of mine, "The Man of Moldania" July 1st in their frist issue! I am honored. The editors were fantastic to work with. The story involves an old, worn-out dragonslayer just looking for work in a world rather devoid of dragons. Or so he thinks.

Dark Recesses published "The Dead House" August 30th 2009. These guys have some great artwork on their website, give them a look. They also illustrated the story! Wow! The story involves a particularly strange house and the neighbor who spys on it.

Warhammer Novels and Stories  

One of my goals in life is to be published. Who doesn't fancy themselves an author? I am a self-admitted amateur, but endeavor to improve and become marketable.  

The Warhammer fiction is free. Consider it a writing sample.

Aspiring author! The rest I shall leave cloaked in mystery in the false hopes it will inspire respect and fear with a dash of awe.

The basics are as follows

I have a wife

I have a job

I have a Masters Degree in Military Studies: Land Warfare

I've been involved in the Western Martial Art of Sword Fighting for over 15 years.

Great Utility for Writers!
