All the King’s Men

All The King’s Men is a planned anthology that complements the stories contained in The Lesser Evil, Peaceful Tomorrows, and The Game. So far, three 40-page stories are planned and are in various stages of completion, but the anthology could conceivably contain a great deal more than that, as it is still in very early planning stages.

One option I am considering is accepting short submissions from writers and artists who wish to dabble in an established universe. This could conceivably be funded through a crowdsourcing campaign.
