Updates
PHOENIX ONE MEDIA
December 2011
It's been awfully quiet around here lately, but there are some good reasons for that.
1) I just completed a short story called The Golden Kingdom: Wildcat's Choice and submitted it for consideration to an anthology. (news on this as it unfolds)
2) Still hard at work on The Golden Kingom's second installment, but got a little sidetracked with Wildcat and something also very important...
3) Welcome to Phoenix One Media! Home to The Golden Kingdom series, Freelancer, and the rest of Jeremy Jaynes' upcoming work.
The Golden Kingdom (Book 2) Update
October 2011
Just a quick note to let everyone know I am furiously working away on book 2 of The Golden Kingdom series.
So, fear not! The second installment is on its way.
I am shooting to have it ready for publication sometime in the first quarter of 2012. Check back for updates or follow me on Twitter where I post often about my progress.
In the meantime, a little teaser we've thrown together:
Don't Just Follow Us! Follow Michael R. Hicks
September 9, 2011
In our adventures in literary travel, we've met a lot of great people. So, every now and again I like to point my readers at other talented writers out there. On the heels of GenCon, I will have a table at Wizard World's Comic Con in Chicago. Click the picture below for more information.
For readers of Science Fiction/Fantasy, you can hardly go wrong with following Michael R. Hicks. You can find his website at:

Don't believe me? Check out the reviews on Amazon for his "In Her Name" series.
Black Gate Recognizes "The Golden Kingdom" at Comic Con
August 22nd
The website Black Gate: Adventures in Fantasy Literature has recognized Jeremy Jaynes and "The Golden Kingdom: Z" as one of their favorite unique items found at Wizard World Chicago Comic Con!
You can read their article by clicking here.
Thanks so much, Black Gate! Hopefully, our paths will cross again.
Thanks to Wizard World Chicago Comic Con!
August 16th, 2011
Thanks to all those that stopped by our booth and to Wizard World for such a great show! The Chicago Comic Con is always a blast and this year was no different.
Please feel free to check out the Freelancer by Jeremy Jaynes page on Facebook to see some of the photos we took.
Also, check out this FANTASTIC artwork Hack/Slash creator Tim Seeley sketched of my character "Free" from Freelancer meeting Cassie Hack from his comic book Hack/Slash. As you can see, Cassie is a fan of The Golden Kingdom, but maybe not Freelancer so much.
I also did a feeble attempt at colorizing the sketch. Not bad for no artistic skills.
