Even though I've had several posts blow up, I've been bad about promoting this... Two weeks left on Mighty Sons of Hercules. We need to raise at least $2k more monies to make it happen. https://t.co/4PeonuMZ0v

Bato, my Son of Hercules, returns in this collection. There's a post in the thread about my story specifically, but I figure I'll retweet the start of the thread. Support the Mighty Sons of Hercules!
The cover story of the forthcoming Mighty Sons of Hercules volume 2 is from Abraham Strongjohn's Maxus and the Temple of the Eagle [aka Freemasons Against the Son of Hercules]!
