I’m an author of epic and heroic fantasy, paranormal adventures, historical fiction, and mysteries. I’m best known for my Legionnaire and Musket Men series (military heroic fantasy published online, in audio, and in print) and my Miss Pandora Parson mysteries originally published in Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine. But I also have several urban fantasy books books as well. Take a look around and feel free to visit again. If you have any questions you can contact me through the Guestbook or at gilbertmstack@gmail.com. You can also find me at Goodreads.

Coming February 18: Joanna Donovan has had a rough time since becoming the undersheriff of Hadrian’s Well, Colorado. In the past three months, she and her deputies have defended their town from multiple preternatural threats including rock trolls, zombies, and red caps. So, she is outraged when A-list Hollywood actress, Ani Breeze, tries to strong arm her into traveling all the way to Desolation, Montana to aid in the search for her missing son. The young man disappeared with his girlfriend while climbing the infamous Widow’s Peak and Breeze is convinced that a preternatural monster is responsible. Joanna is happy to consult on the case, but feels that her responsibilities in Hadrian’s Well preclude her from traveling a thousand miles away to the site of the disappearance. Yet, Montana really does need an officer with Joanna’s experience because they’ve run into an ancient threat more dangerous than anything Joanna, or anyone else in the modern world, has yet encountered.

Coming January 7: The Festival of the Midnight Bloom was supposed to ignite feelings of love and lust in the southerners of Al-Andalus. Instead, the Pretender Earl of Fortaleza and his allies have used it to turn their co-religionists into berserk cannibals seeking to feast on northern flesh. Now Marshal Sturm, the legitimate earl, must figure out how to save thousands of northern survivors from hordes of mindless people who do not feel pain and seem to keep fighting even after they’re dead. All he has to combat them with is his bayonet, a few stout friends, and a handful of rickety barriers to bolster the defense. But not all of Sturm’s enemies are on the far side of that barrier; and they would like to find a way to use the berserkers to remove Sturm from the High Kingdom of Kriegsturm once and for all.

Only one tiny halfling stands in the way of an power seeking to wipe out a grand alliance that has lasted for millennia. None of the inhabitants of the scum ridden town of Hidden Harbor seem to be able to take him seriously, but they are about to learn how wrong they are. For the gods were tricked into putting aside their differences to create one final champion. Armed only with a hatchet and a highly fashionable hat, the halfling champion is doing his best to save the world by chopping down one evil villain at a time.

After winning a costly clash with Diamonte’s Thegn Clovis and High Mago Deverel, Marcus must find a way to press the attack even though more than half of his Black Hat legionnaires are unable to take the field. Thegn Clovis cannot afford another costly battle so he must turn to High Mago Deverel to conjure victory from defeat. But a lot of magos have been playing with the weather in the past year and succeed or fail, the consequences of Deverel’s efforts could prove devastating for the Jeweled Hills.
