Throwback Thursday: Art from Not Gods But Monsters
A long time ago, long before the first line of the current Not Gods But Monsters was penned, the project was known as Fantasma. While there were a lot of similar elements and themes shared between the two tales, there is a number of items that never made the final cut into the final release. As with the current books, I did artwork for the original tale, including a number of character illustrations.
Free Books During Smashwords End of Year Sale

The Art of TKK: Callie and Ceosan
Part two of the series for The Killing Kind. This pairing features a younger Callie Evans (around 14 during this story) and the Moa’rehnzan despot, Carolus Res Ceosan.
The Art of TKK: O'mas and Zonda
As with the earlier entries in the series, I worked up a series of character sketches on prominent characters in The Killing Kind. Much like A Prison of Flesh, this series is a set of four, with a limited color palette. Just like the blue used for APOF, this set features green as a major identifying color. Below are the first two in the series.
The Art of TKK: Cover Painting
For those familiar with earlier books in the Realm of Tah’afajien series, the cover for Book 3 falls in line, layout-wise, with Book 2, where the image is features a major character and a prominent location in the story. This time around, the focus fell on Marianus O’mas and the Moa’rehnzan capital city of Gran’rehnza.
Available Now: The Killing Kind
Author Joshua Banker announces the release of his fourth full-length work, The Killing Kind. Banker’s prequel to Not Gods But Monsters is a speculative fiction novel which blends elements of science-fiction and diesel-punk fantasy to tell a story about the root causes of war and their impacts on those forced to live in the midst of an ongoing conflict. The tale serves as both a history lesson for those familiar with the series and as a starting point for readers new to the Realm of Tah’afajien.
Free to Read: The Killing Kind Chapter 04
As I've done with all my previous books, I’m adding a chapter of my upcoming release, The Killing Kind to the Free To Read program, where readers can get a sneak peak of a single chapter of the book to read here or download for reading on your mobile devices.
Book 3 is a Prequel?
The Killing Kind, the third book in the Realm of Tah’afajien series is a prequel that happens over a decade before the beginning of Not Gods But Monsters. Book 3 provides context, not only for what transpires during books 1 and 2 but for the series' eventual endgame.
Coming Soon - The Killing Kind to release on November 13th, 2018
Book 3 of Realm of Tah'afajien series and prequel to Not Gods But Monsters will be available in trade paperback and eBook on November 13, 2018.
