This weekend, science fiction and fantasy fans from across the United States will be gathering at the 41st annual Archon convention, being held at the Gateway Convention Center and DoubleTree Hotel in Collinsville, Illinois. And among the guests in attendance will be the busiest man in con appearances, SWC’s own Richard C. White, who’ll be there to promote his two 2017 releases: For a Few Gold Pieces More and the upcoming Harbinger of Darkness.
For a Few Gold Pieces More is a collection of ten critically acclaimed short stories by Rich, who’s the author of Star Trek: Starfleet Corps of Engineers: Echoes of Coventry, Gauntlet: Dark Legacy: Paths of Evil, and the SWC titles Terra Incognito: A Guide to Building the Worlds of Your Imagination, Troubleshooters, Incorporated: Night Stalkings, and The Chronicles of the Sea Dragon Special.
For Gold Pieces, think Lord of the Rings meets the “spaghetti Westerns” of director Sergio Leone (A Fistful of Dollars; The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly), as a Rogue With No Name travels a world of epic-fantasy adventure, looking for treasure—and revenge against the woman who sent him to prison for a crime he didn’t commit (but she did).
Harbinger of Darkness goes on sale next Tuesday, October 3. In this original novel, a thief named Perrin steals an extremely valuable—and magical—gem from the evil king ruling her home country. With thugs and fellow thieves and the king’s assassins hot on her trail, Perrin finds just staying alive is becoming a full-time occupation, which directly conflict with her secret life—and identity—as a humble bookseller’s daughter. It’s sword-swinging adventure at its finest, and Rich is sure to be talking up the book—so be sure to ask about it!
For a Few Gold Pieces More, on the other hand, is available right now in print and digital formats; visit its product page for ordering information. And if you’re attending Archon this weekend, be sure to purchase For a Few Gold Pieces More and Terra Incognito directly from Rich, who’ll be selling copies all weekend!
Archon runs Friday, September 29, through Sunday, October 1. For more information on the convention, visit the Archon website.
