    I remember buying the entire Ace Books Conan series from a fellow student when I was in middle school. He handed me a paper grocery bag filled with them before class at my school locker. That bag of books filled my imagination for years.

    I read most of the original conan stories, and I loved his prose and world building.
    I am glad sword and sorcery is making a comeback somewhat.
    I have almost finished a sword and sorcery type tale inspired by Robert E Howard's creation and Lee Child's Jack Reacher.
    I hope to submit it to Savage Realms Monthly.

    I had all but given up hope that anyone would ever produce a Conan audio production worthy of the master writer and his brawling, carousing barbarian.
    Your work is stunning. The work is read with the understanding and masculine prowess of a man that grasps the fury and wonder of hell raising adventure. I salute you, sir.
    This is a dream come true, as "Shadows In Zamboula" is my absolute favorite of Howard's Conan shorts. My mouth now waters as I dream of your potential execution of my favorite Howard novella's, "The People of the Black Circle, "Red Nails", and "Beyond the Black River".
    Again, thank you for your talent and your perspective on great literature.

      The fiery, Conan stories were written by a powerful, hell raising writer that produced these stories in a brawling, 1920s oil town. They are deliciously Barbaric tales to entertain and ignite the fires in the hearts of true men. No doubt they will, as they always have, distress the delicate sensibilities of "civilized", modern, mama's boys with tepid water rather than hot blood flowing through their milksop's veins.
