Tap and Die is a 90’s action story full of characters who use wands and staves instead of guns on the set of an epic fantasy world. I’m releasing it serially over the course of 6 months — the first 25% is FREE and the rest requires a subscription: if you subscribe for at least 3 months, I will send you a hard copy before the book releases even if you don’t finish the story.

You can find the archive of chapters below. If you’re a subscriber, thank you so much. If you are enjoying Tap and Die and would like to share it with a friend, please share this page. You can also gift them a subscription. Subscribers for at least a three month period will also receive a free hard copy of the book when the book releases.

Email me back to let me know what you think of the story as it progresses. It’s basically a speculative fiction love letter to an action hero my late father enjoyed. If you haven’t encountered The Vale Megacosm, or Gergia, you can start with the Vale Short stories. Black Jack, the action story hero of Tap and Die, recurs as a side character in several of the Vale novels and short stories. Tap and Die is therefore the first, not the last, you’ll see of him.
