OK, that thread title is admittedly a bit over the top.
Nonetheless, I'd like to draw the attention of fans of my Pathfinder work to some other projects at which I'm laboring away in my foreboding, cavernous lair (actually, it's a condo in Indianapolis, Indiana).
This will be the space to check on the glorious Paizo Messageboards. I'll make a point of dropping updates here, but for all things related to my RPG and fiction work, check out my brand-spanking new, still-in-development website:

ABSOLUTELY FREE INDIE FANTASY AUTHOR ANTHOLOGY
Howdy, all!
On January 15, 2018, an anthology of stories by 16 indie fantasy authors, including yours truly, will be available free of charge in electronic format across platforms.
It's entitled Lost Lore and includes such indie luminaries as Dyrk Ashton, Alec Hutson, Phil Tucker, Timandra Whitecastle, Steven Kelliher, Benedict Patrick, TA Miles, and TL Greylock.
There's a placeholder for the anthology at Goodreads. I'll post the Amazon link when it's live.
My own contribution to the anthology is entitled "Barrowlands" and is set in the world of my epic fantasy trilogy, Iconoclasts. The first book of the trilogy is currently in edits and slated for release later in 2018.
In the meantime, check out Lost Lore for a taste of my world and the worlds of fifteen other talented fantasy writers. There's also a cool interview with three of the anthology's authors at Fantasy Book Critic as well.
Congratulations Mr. Shel,
I'll be very excited to be reading Lost Lore.
All the best in your foreboding cavernous lair!
WOO~!
Can't wait ;)
>>HEY! LOOKEE HERE!<<
Let me just give a push to all Pathfinder fans and fans of epic fantasy to sign up for my mailing list.
"Why?" you ask. "Why should I let Mike Shel clutter my inbox with his marginally entertaining word-like products? What possible advantage could there be to handing out my precious e-mail address to this maniac, responsible for the death of my favorite character <insert name of poorly built character killed by your own sad negligence or crap luck, not by my clever and flawless adventure design>, whom I will talk with you about until you are forced to shove a large article of clothing in my mouth to get me to stop prating on endlessly?"
Well, I'm glad you asked, even if your manner of asking was inexplicably insulting. If you would be so kind and trusting and, if you'll permit me to say so, beautiful as to entrust me with your sacred e-mail address (which is doubtless already in the hands of countless predatory scammers and soulless, mercenary multinational corporations, already exploiting you in a thousand ways), I make the following promises slash guarantees.
1) I will not darken the door of your inbox more than once a month, unless something truly earth-shattering compels me to send an extra unscheduled missive;
2) I will not share your e-mail address with anyone else, ever;
3) You can unsubscribe at any time
My monthly mailers will keep you updated on the status of my impending epic fantasy trilogy, Iconoclasts, as well as any other fiction or RPG products I have a hand in. I will also alert you to other indie fantasy fiction of interest. I will also offer (on occasion, so as not to spoil you shamelessly) special deals and incentives as they become available.
So whaddya say? Why not sign up and receive these unobtrusive, yet somehow priceless monthly gems? What's the worst that could happen?*
MIKE'S WIFE CHIMES IN
Hey, folks. My wife says I talk too much. She says I should just say, "Please sign up for my mailing list. I need this." So...
Please sign up for my mailing list. I need this. Thank you.
Howdy, all!
The indie fantasy anthology, Lost Lore is available now at Amazon and Kobo. It's free at Kobo and will be soon enough at Amazon (they're offering it for 99 cents right now).
Included is a short story I wrote called "Barrowlands," set in the world of the epic fantasy trilogy I'm hard at work on. I'd love to hear what people think.
And please post a review at Amazon and/or Kobo as well! That helps give the book greater visibility.
For those folks who own Nooks, Lost Lore is available for FREE at B+N now.
It's also FREE at Google Play.

For better or worse, I've joined Twitter. God help me.

My debut dark epic fantasy novel, Aching God is available now in print and digital formats at Amazon.
Here's a recent tweet about it from fantasy author Phil Tucker (of Black Gate fame):
"ACHING GOD is live! If you like classic fantasy told with compelling characters and a modern sensibility that really drives home how traumatizing and intense exploring ancient, evil tombs would really be, grab yourself a copy .

Hey folks, have you read Aching God yet? No? Don’t have time to sit and read? Get the Audible book from Amazon and listen to it while you do some housework. The fiction is fantastic. Whether you simply like good fantasy fiction or prefer narrative gaming-based fantasy you’ll love this book. It’s easy to imagine it being a story told by an adventurer over a couple of ales at the local tavern. Read this book and I challenge you to not be compelled to move on to the rest of the books in the series. If you want a sneak peak at the world of Mike Shel, take a look at the short story Barrowlands set in the same world.
