New Blog Coming

I am having a new website developed that will include a new blog.

I hope the new unified site will be way better, but we shall see. This entire blog will be migrated over.

I will be a bit distracted for the next couple weeks...

2018 Starts Off on the Right Foot

Martin Wilsey

After I returned from the holidays the first thing I did was let my boss know I was going to retire and write full time.

It's a dream come true.

My last day at the office will be March 2nd.

I am so excited about this. No more commuter traffic. I will be able to double my daily writing time. I will also be able to focus more on the business side of being an author.

Tannhauser Press and The Ventura Theater will expand. Tannhauser Studios will launch, a photography, audio and video enterprise. I will develop a new author page. I will expand my work in screenplays, photography and audio. I will step up my fitness (it helps the writing) and my relaxing.

Because I can write anywhere I may be visiting you soon.

--First up is a new Author Bio.

Just Released: Worlds Enough. Fantastic Defenders

Now available on Amazon! My First fantasy story!

   Worlds Enough: Fantastic Defenders

Here is the description from Amazon:

Across astounding and magical worlds, five heroes step forward to defend against magical threats:

• A sorceress in a besieged city faces a malignant force even more dangerous than the city's would-be conquerors.
• An unassuming bureaucrat stumbles upon a threat to a vast empire and deals with it in his own inimitable fashion.
• A resourceful bodyguard for an infant princess, trapped and surrounded by merciless assassins, finds a unique way to hold them at bay.
• A mage press-ganged into the Royal Navy finds himself volunteered for a dangerous secret mission on foreign soil.
• A disgraced royal guardian who failed in protecting his king hunts down those who cost him his honor.

These are the...FANTASTIC DEFENDERS!

My most recent story is in this Anthology called: The Once Damned

Capclave 2015

This image is cool and has nothing to do with Caclave

From the website:

Capclave is a small relaxed literary convention with a program that usually focuses on the short fiction form. Our Guests of Honor and other notable authors, editors, artists, and fans of the short fiction form will explore the creation and enjoyment of short fantasy and science fiction genre stories.
