Secret Agent X, Volume III is now for sale!

My first published story is now in print! Secret Agent X and the Wrath of the Valkyrie is my debut in the pulps, and I'm loving it. What a great Christmas gift, being a real writer!

My oft-repeated thanks to Ron Fortier for making this happen, as well as my wife Rachel, who has "mushed" me like a sled dog for years to get something done.

The final cover image, front and back, is shown. Some very nice illustrations are found inside, as well.

You can buy the book immediately through lulu.com, and at a nice discount to boot, and have the book in a couple weeks. Here's the link to buy it...
