Since I'd previously AI generated a few characters and places from Maldene, I thought maybe I might show a few and briefly describe their place in the world of Maldene. This is a picture of Grong standing next to a normal 5'10" human man. Grong works as the head General for the villainous Miro (My-roh) and is even more of a brute and a bully than he looks. He first appears in Maldene II: Mysteries Of Olde and spells trouble anytime he shows up, and ends up becoming a challenge for Bronto, the strong man on the good-guy's side. Bronto is the guy in the other pic shown alone by himself (the one that knows how to smile). So, who do think will win once these two face off?

While messing around with AI for some pics and a trailer now for my inspector Flaatphut series, I decided it's about high time I created some new covers for the first two stories in the series. So may I now present, the world unveiling (I haven't even updated the covers on Amazon yet) of the new covers for "Project Looking Glass" and "The U.M.I. Corp Connection". So, what'd'yall think?

Since I'm allowed to link to a little review, I've hunted up one for the second entry in my 13-book Maldene series, "Maldene II: Mysteries Of Olde". On this one you get to see the old cover at mthe top and the new cover at the bottom of the review. Here's a quick excerpt from the review: "Mark Anthony Tierno is a phenomenal writer who knows how to grasp his reader’s attention from the first page. Tierno instead of writing long, drawn-out builds up which are commonly found in fantasy novels, decides to ditch this approach and thrust his reader into the heart of the story straight away so that the reader is instantly captivated and immersed. " You can find the rest of it at https://redheadedbooklover.com/maldene-ii-mysteries-of-olde-mark-anthony-tierno/ More info about my little series can be found at www.maldene.com

I'm thinking of reading a thriller to mix it up this month. Have you got any recommendations?

What if every conspiracy theory you'd ever heard was true... and it still wasn't enough? Now toss in liberal amounts of a supernatural angle; creatures from just about every mythology you can think of, but they're all working on the same side. The "People"; creatures and supernatural beings hiding in the shadows, manipulating our society, getting us ready for... what? This is the world of the near future, a world in which all guns are outlawed even for the police, the only real weapons to be had available to the megacorp International Securities. Megacorp generosity makes life easy for everyone, no crime, religions failing as people grow out of the old world nonsense (though there IS the Church of Freud and Church of the Internet), and with the pending world unity everything is coming up roses. Of course, if you're Black Jack Hannigan, it smells more like fattening up the calf before the slaughter. Now enter a priest who's just finished a more accurate translation of the Bible that reveals the Book or Revelations was not a prediction but a warning. Before Black Jack's very eyes his priestly friend is ripped apart by creatures that shouldn't exist; large winged black panthers that can take a bullet from five feet away. A conspiracy is afoot the likes of which he cannot yet imagine, and he just got the blame for the priest's death and every other bad thing someone can think of. But he's not the only one. Others have stumbled upon a small part of this massive iceberg of a conspiracy that stretches to every corner of the globe... and beyond. For Armageddon is not a time, but a PLACE where the world will end. This is the first of a 5-book series that defines the most paranoid tale you will ever read. But don't take my word for it. the following is taken out from a 5-star review of Cyberdawn from Readers' Favorite (https://readersfavorite.com/book-review/cyberdawn): *** Reviewed by Tammy Ruggles for Readers' Favorite
