The Final Rush
Set in Mantic Games’ Warpath universe and based on its sports tabletop game Dreadball.
Having won the Third Sphere DreadBall tournament by the proverbial skin of their teeth, Leeland Roth and his intrepid Corporate team, the Vitala Vipers, head to the “big leagues” for the chance to play in the elite FSIDL (First Sphere Intergalactic DreadBall League). It’s both an honor and a homecoming for Coach Roth, since he left six years prior, vowing never to return after the tragic death of his brother Victor.
But, all is not forgotten. There are many within the DreadBall community who not only revere the Roth brothers, but also despise them. Their enemies will stop at nothing—not even murder—to end the Roth name and legacy once and for all. Leeland must now coach his team to respectability while trying to maintain his and Victor’s good name.
It’s a mad dash for survival, both on and off the DreadBall pitch. Can Leeland keep it together? Will the pressures of his personal life overshadow his responsibilities on the pitch?Could this possibly be Leeland Roth’s final Rush?

“Mendie and the Boudicea of the Wasteland” is a short story set in the Mendie—the Post-Apocalyptic Flower Scout universe. A description of Mendie is as follows…
“She was a Flower Scout at the age of 10 when the Apocalypse hit. She lost everything including her parents and younger brother. She is now 20 and has survived because of following (her distorted view of) the Flower Scout code. The basic rules are to be a good person and be nice to each other. However, if someone is not being very nice, or she witnesses an injustice, she is more than willing to solve the problem with guns, knives, and rocket launchers.”
In my story, Mendie must deal with a woman who has begun a populist revolt in the wasteland outside the city of Yerk. Publication date pending.
“One for Sorrow” is a short story set in the very popular War World universe. Publication date pending.
