My Works
Where to find works by Jack Mulcahy
Some of my short stories can be found in anthologies on Amazon. All are set in the world of my in-progress trilogy The Chronicles of the Healer, so you can get in on the ground floor of a story that's going to take the world by storm!
However, only Young Adventurers: Heroes, Adventurers & Swashbucklers ($4.99) and Pulp Empire: Heroes and Heretics ($2.99) are available as Kindle books. The other three are only available as paperbacks, with the attendant price differences. And the vendors set the prices, NOT me. I've already been paid for these stories by the publishers, so I'm not making any more money on them in either format.
But you can enjoy the cachet of telling your friends (or enemies) that you got the chance to read me in my early years!

This collection features the story "First Mission," showing cadet Mikhaila on a routine training mission that gradually becomes worse. The sergeant called her "Blockhead." Will she escape that hated nickname? Will her enemies make a slave of her? Find out here!
NOTE: This stand-alone tale forms a part of the history contained within the novel-in-progress, Healer's Awakening. A minor detail or two have changed, but the story remains the same.
Pulp Empire Volume Four
Pulp Empire Volume Four contains "Arys The Younger." The titular character is the son of a great Aurigan hero, Arys Ironarm, who once rode a lightnng bolt into battle. Will young Arys overcome the difficulty of living in the shadow of his famous father?
Pulp Empire Volume Five
Captain Barbary of Auriga has come to Rahesh-the-City on a mission: She intends to kill a monster. Her target is an evil woman who collaborates with the enemy that makes slaves of all women. Known as the Most Favored, this woman bathes in the blood of virgins to preserve her youth.
But Barbary's mission goes awry from the start, and she is confronted by the very woman she came to destroy. Find out the Captain's decision in "Jehan's Legacy."
This is an earlier telling of an incident that later made its way into Healer's Awakening in a different form.
