Writer’s Resume

By: Lance Red

 In 2010-11, I had had 6 stories published.

I started sending out work shortly before I was published once again in September 2015.

As of September 30th, 2020, I have had 64 short stories, and 1 novella, published.  

[Please note that this total does not include reprints, which are marked as such below, or if a story was split across two different issues.  The only exception is Liberty’s Run, which is a serial, and—quite frankly—was not intended to go on this long.]

If anyone is interested in making novels, comic books, graphic novels, movies, TV shows, video games, musicals or other such things based on a series, please write to me at waltergesselman@gmail.com. Some have quite extensive backstories.

I started keeping this record early on, just to help me keep track of what I’d published, and then who was sent what.  I’ve actually never shared this information with anyone, mostly because no one asked.

It is admittedly a little dense, but it provides a nice and accurate record of all my published work. 

CONTENTS:

  1. Published work with links, if available.

  2. Completed, but Unpublished work.

    Descriptions of various storylines are under ‘Series I’ve Created’.
    [There were so many, I decided to devote an entire page to it, for ease of navigation on the site.]
