Mid-World Arts is on Tumblr

Mid-World Arts, the indie publishing studio I am a part of, now was a tumblr blog.

Does this mean I will stop pimping my books here? Alas, no, scrollofthoth reaches so many more people. People who I hope are interested in books and indie media.

So only follow Mid-World if you want to hear from the other authors from time to time. Otherwise, you will be getting a lot of repeats.

Thank you again to everyone who has re-blogged and in other ways helped support us.

If you’re an indie/self-published writer, please me know so I can follow your blog and share your stuff.

My good friend Steve Loy keeps cranking them out. Like a lot of writers, he has a lot of back catalog, and he’s ready to share them with the world.

This is my favorite for obvious reasons. 

ISIS WEPT

Egypt, 8000 years ago. The gods walk among men as titans, powerful beings with passions that move mountains, fix stars in the heavens, and master the forces of life and death. Within this world, the evil god Set betrays and murders his brother Osiris, king of rich and respected Abydos. Set steals all that Osiris had, including the queen, Isis, the goddess of life and beauty.

Isis escapes her monstrous conqueror and bends her powers toward finding her love and bringing him back from death. But, like all gods, Isis is trapped despite her power, for she can never go beyond the limits of her nature. For that, she needs the assistance of man.

In the course of this quest, kingdoms fall, armies clash, and the balance of power between gods and men is altered forever. Who holds power in such cataclysmic conflict? Is it those who define power, or those who define themselves?
