SNAFU: PUNK’D AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT: DAVID W. AMENDOLA

Leave a comment

As Cohesion Press edges ever-closer to the release of SNAFU: PUNK’D at the end of October, we are on a mission of regalia for our authors and the tales of the fantastique they’ve created. Which basically translates to promotion time for all of our storytellers with an author spotlight that gives insight into their imaginariums (back away sloooowly), and a tease of their story.

Let’s get to it!

Please give a hearty welcome to our eighth author in this SNAFU: PUNK’D spotlight… DAVID AMENDOLA!

David W. Amendola has been a pulp fiction fan and epic history nerd since his teens, and his stories combine both. He writes science-fiction, fantasy, horror, westerns, military adventure, mystery, and mashups of all these genres. He also occasionally writes about non-fiction topics such as family genealogy, history, and numismatics. He has a Bachelor of Arts in World Military History and a Graduate Certificate in World War II Studies, both from American Military University. He served in the U.S. Air Force for 21 years. 

Six of his short stories have been featured in SNAFU anthologies and one, The Secret War, was adapted into a feature for the first season of the Emmy-winning Netflix animated series Love, Death + Robots. 

For this edition of SNAFU, David has meshed together a cyberpunk tale with BRAINJACKED: A cyborg team is sent by the U.S. Space Force to retrieve a crashed satellite. Bounce in, secure the wreckage, and bounce out before anybody knows they’re there. Piece of cake. Until they get brainjacked…

SNAFU: PUNK’D AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT – CJ GOLDBERG

Leave a comment

The release of SNAFU: PUNK’D is stalking with very little stealth toward the world, and we at Cohesion Press are getting the stage lights all set up for our authors and the tales they’ve forged for this edition. Which means it’s promotion time for all of our storytellers with an author spotlight that gives insight into their imaginariums (use the stealth when approaching, my friends), and a tease of their story. Buckle up!

For our sixth instalment of the SNAFU author spotlight, put your claws together for CJ GOLDBERG!

As a kid, C.J. spent his days exploring the Montana woods, reading horror, and watching scary movies. He soon discovered that storytelling was his passion.

After graduating from The University of Montana with a degree in Acting, C.J. worked as a professional poker dealer for 14 years in Montana bars. During that time, he never gave up on his dream of becoming a horror author. He studied writing craft extensively through books, courses, and workshops, and in 2017 he moved to Glasgow, Scotland while his wife attended graduate school. This allowed him to focus full-time on his writing career.

He now lives in Petaluma, California, with his wife and two kids where, when not changing diapers, he is writing his debut novel, a cosmic horror story set in a remote Montana town.

Cohesion Press is chuffed to bits that we will be presenting to the world CJ’s first published story.  For SNAFU: PUNK’D, CJ has dipped his hands into all that is bio-punk with FACTORY OF FEAR: A mercenary and her team search for her team search for her missing brother in a monster-infested bio-factory.
