THANK YOU SO MUCH !!

[ShawAngela]

And it's a great Christmas gift for all of us fans !

This is awesome. I'm going to try to add this to my Kindle. Look forward to reading.

[Ky-Fi]

Yep, I'm one of the authors, and we had a lot of fun putting this anthology together. 

We're all big kung fu movie fans, although our styles are all different--but I think there's something for everyone in this collection!

From stories set in old China, to modern adventure and fantasy, we cover quite a bit of ground, and we do enjoy writing our fight scenes!

[ShawAngela]

I haven't had time to read your texts as yet, but I'll try to do it during the Christmas Holidays.

I would love to  participate in this adventure, but in my opinion, there are three major obstacles to this :

1) Maybe you won't agree

2) I'm not sure that my English is goo enough to write a whole story in this language (though I've been participating to a Wuxia Round Robin on another site...that is waiting for the authors to continue the story, but we all have a lot of work...)

3) As I'm not a martial arts practitioner, my fight scenes won't be interesting to the people who will read the stories...

I'm by no means an authority on Martial Arts fiction, but from what Ive read of your posts here. You have the ability to take part in this, if you wanted to of course.

Out of curiosity, has anyone tried downloading & reading the stories? 

[Chu Liu Hsiang]

I downloaded but did not start reading them yet because I want to finish 2 other books first.

I’m sorry to promote my buddies here, but this is his first book. Yes, it is a martial arts/urban story. The first I’m a planned series. Just think of a cross between John Shaft and Honey West.

Four-star review at Goodreads:

Quote

This is a compendium of martial art stories. For the most part, they were well written however, with the exception of one or two they are in dire need of professional editing. The editing problems are often so bad they bounce you out of the story and cause a significant distraction from otherwise good storytelling. If the editing had been better I could have given this five stars.
