On our continuing tour of Cohesion Press’ Author Spotlight, we’re still in the US, and are road-tripping to crash at Evan Dicken’s place. Does he know we’re coming? Where’s the fun in that? Besides, it’s not like we’re going to eat all his food, drink all his alcohol, and set up blanket forts in his living room (we totally are).
While I go steal some pillows (what’s a blanket fort without pillows?), Evan has been kicked up onto the stage, microphone shoved into his hand, as the spotlight spotlights. Take it away, Evan!
By day, EVAN DICKEN studies old Japanese maps and crunches numbers for all manner of fascinating research at the Ohio State University. By night, he does neither of these things. His work has most recently appeared in Analog, Beneath Ceaseless Skies, and Strange Horizons, and he has stories forthcoming from Black Library and Aconyte Press.
For SNAFU: Level Up, Evan sharpened sword and challenged gods with 47th (LEVEL) RONIN: Outnumbered, outmatched, and out-leveled, a lone rōnin will stop at nothing to avenge the death of his lord. But to destroy those who betrayed them, he turns a more devilish patron…and finds the road to hell paved with bad intentions.
You can find Evan at his website or on Bluesky.
If you want to read more of Evan’s work (and you really should), his Warhammer: Age of Sigmar novels Shade of Khaine and First Marshal were recently released by Black Library; and although there’s currently no set release date, his Warhammer: The Old World novel Blood of the Bastion should be out sometime this year.
