Amazon’s War on Lightning Source
| March 13, 2013 | Posted by Anthony Horvath under All authors, Blog, by Anthony Horvath |
It appears to me that Amazon is in an undeclared war with Lightning Source (henceforth, LSI).
Before there was Bard and Book, there was the publishing endeavors of Athanatos Publishing Group. I was set up pretty early with LSI and fairly well pleased with the arrangement. My titles could be picked up anywhere–chiefly, though, they were purchased by Amazon.
No sooner did I get involved in publishing did I observe that Amazon liked to shift things around and change them up. … Register or log in to access full content

Mordecai is presented with a unique opportunity: the chance to kill Hitler, before he does his worst. A vision from God compels him to take action, but a second vision gives him pause. What will Mordecai do?
Looking back, many people might say that if they had a chance to kill Hitler, they would do so. Hindsight is 20/20, as they say. Mordecai is one of the few allowed to see not only what will happen if Hitler is allowed to live, but also what will happen if Mordecai kills him.
Few can imagine worse than what the Nazis did to humanity, but Mordecai didn’t have to imagine it… he saw it with his own eyes, as one possible future.

What happens to a town when a man with a gun refuses to stop another man with a gun from killing people, just because it was against the law to bring the gun on school property?
Sheldon Knapp was caught in a photograph calling 9-11 with a gun in his hand, while a vicious gunman enters the school behind him. Initially regarded as a hero, the accolades turn into contempt, as people begin saying that he could have, and should have, done more.
Sheldon Knapp’s defense: He is a law abiding citizen.

Reflections on the State of Publishing
| September 17, 2012 | Posted by Anthony Horvath under All authors, Blog, by Anthony Horvath |
I am not a big New York publisher but I think I have a pretty good idea what is going on in the publishing industry. I have been publishing books and ebooks for going on five years, and it is because of my experiences in those projects that Bard and Book was born. Clearly, the closure of Borders bookstore says something important. The rise of Kindle… well, I don’t need to dwell on it; most people already know the industry is being shaken to the core.… Register or log in to access full content

Brian is having a very, very bad universe. While he has certain creature comforts, he isn’t doing well with the ladies and he knows–just knows–that alternate Brians in other universes are enjoying loads of fame, riches, and success. But Brian has an idea on how to solve his problem, once and for all: in this universe.
In this short story, author Anthony Horvath of ‘Bard and Book’ playfully explores the mysterious world of the multiverse.
In another universe, this short story was not written, so be thankful, and enjoy it before the universe splits again.

My inaugural blog post on Bard and Book
| June 20, 2012 | Posted by Anthony Horvath under All authors, Blog, by Anthony Horvath |
As the instigator of Bard and Book Publishing, it seemed fitting to take a minute to give a little background. People love that kind of stuff, right?
I suppose the origin of the idea has to go back to Daniel Q, who sent me a link talking about ’1,000 true fans.’ The idea in the link was that the old models of making a living could be set aside because of Internet technologies that allowed even average joe’s to find and connect with people. … Register or log in to access full content
