I just finished the first draft of my Abraham Strongjohn’s “At the Feet of Neptune’s Queen”!
Plans and details will be forthcoming… In the meantime, enjoy some back-cover grade synopsis text.
Just the night before, Ch’Or had been in Vraala’s bed chamber. A fortnight before that, Ch’Or had been standing before the sacred altar of his people, a coronet about to be placed on his head. He would be the king of one world, but never this one. He would have one woman at his side for his queen, but never the lamia that had brought him here. The Prince of Mars would not be made to bow At the Feet of Neptune’s Queen!

Sounds like a blast!
BTW if “Abraham Strongjohn” is a pseudonym it is a seriously awesome one.
Thanks! I was thinking “what would be a ridiculously manly sounding name for a pulp writer?” The inspiration is a cross between beat-em-up game Strong Johns from Regular Show and the Simpsons where Bart & Lisa were writing Itchy & Scratchy episodes and submitting them with Grampa’s name.
I guess “Manly Wade Wellman” was already taken…?
He sounds too dapper. I wanted something that sounded like he wrote using a sledgehammer while covered in coal dust.
I think I was subconsciously remembering this old Achewood, too. http://achewood.com/index.php?date=02022009
