Welcome to my world!

I'm James Maxey, the author of the Bitterwood fantasy trilogy composed of Bitterwood, Dragonforge, and Dragonseed, a pair of superhero novels, Nobody Gets the Girl and Burn Baby Burn, plus my new Dragon Apocalypse series. I've also published numerous short stories, the best of which are reprinted in my collection, There is No Wheel. This website is focused exclusively on my published fiction. At my second blog, Jawbone of an Ass, I serve up loudmouthed blathering about politics, religion, money, and other topic polite people have the sense to avoid.

If you're a fan of dragon-centric sword and sorcery with a touch of superheroics, the Dragon Apocalypse is being written for you! In fact, even if you're not a fan of fantasy, you might want to check out the books, since my approach to this series is to strip out everything I find boring about epic fantasy and focus on the fun stuff, like larger than life characters bravely throwing themselves into battle with dragons, and the dragons eating them. Greatshadow, Hush, and Witchbreaker are now available. The next book, Soulless, should be out in late 2013/early 2014.

Definitely coming out in 2013 will be my next superhero novel, tentatively titled "The Adventures of Cut-Up Girl." Watch this space for further news!

There is No Wheel FREE on Amazon

Today through Tuesday, my short story collection There is No Wheel is available FREE as an ebook via Amazon. If you've already read my novels and are looking for some more James Maxey fiction to carry you through until the June 26 release of Hush, now's your chance! It's free on Kindle (which basically means it's free on any device with an internet connection) by clicking here.

Mister Maxey - This giveaway was almost enough to make me consider getting a Kindle. Almost.

Then I remembered I sorta hate the device, at least in comparison to the Nook (one-handed operation is rather important to me).

I've read your Bitterwood trilogy - is the short story about Atlantis about that Atlantis?

Thanks, Ian. The only reason that Wheel is a kindle select title is that it went several months on Barnes and Noble selling zero copies. All my novels sell at least a few copies on Nook each month, which is why I've not pulled any of my other titles.

But, if you email me at nobodynovelwriter at yahoo.com, I'll be glad to email you the epub version of the anthology free of charge.

And, yes, the story is set in the Bitterwood Atlantis, though it has no connection to the novels other than the setting.
