Praise for THE VIRO SAGA Series
'Viro and the Iron Circlet' by Jonah Lissner
is a straight forward, no holds barred tale of adventure starring a fearless barbarian.
Bruce Durham, Reviewer, Author
"Valley of Bones", "The Marsh God"
'Viro and the Iron Circlet' by Jonah Lissner is almost an homage to the stock pulp barbarian. If
it's pure pulp you want, you'll enjoy this.
Steve Goble, Reviewer
"Viro and the
Iron Circlet" [story excerpt from Viro and the
Priesthood of the Hawk] by Jonah Lissner: In the caverns beneath a ruined town, a warrior
seeks treasure. Rich details fill this sword and sorcery story, and the language verges on poetry.
David A. Olson, Reviewer
"Viro and the
Iron Circlet" by Jonah Lissner is pure pulp through and through. Viro, a barbarian swordsman, plunders
an ancient tomb in search of a mythical circlet. Lissner vividly describes Viro's world through its history and politics.
Aimee Poynter,
Reviewer, Tangent Short Fiction Review
Anyone who lists Milton and Blake among his literary models has certainly got my attention. And
readers will surely hear deliberate echoes of Robert E. Howard in “Viro and the Enchantress[of Monu-Mar].” Just
try writing in that style some time; it’s no mean feat.

THE VIRO SAGA
is a rollicking series of adventures set before the last Ice Age...join Jonah Lissner and his characters for a dark, exciting
trip into the past.
Steven Shrewsbury Author, Dack Shannon
Something about the sprawling, repetitive, nature-based adventures of Viro recalls the oral
storytelling tradition, the tribal urge to paint pictures with words.
Daniel Blackston, Editor,
Pitch-Black Books
An epic set in a time so far past it is foreign to us. Filled with monsters, mayhem and
magic, THE VIRO SAGA is full of the things that make swords and sorcery what it is. So join Viro Maretan the Kshatriyan in
his adventures, but be warned - Viro’s world is not for the faint of heart, nor the timid.

Praise for
My Short-Story Writing and Editing
In May 2004 my former webzine ADVENTURE FICTION ONLINE (now ADVENTURE Magazine) won the Great Fiction Award from noted
author and editor Daniel Blackston for achievement in pulp adventure fiction publication, editing and my short stories featured. You'll want to read his entire
excellent review at http://www.sfreader.com/db_ff052004.asp .
Excerpt:
Editor-in-Chief, Jonah Lissner contributes
a dizzying amount of fiction under his own prolific byline to AFO. The sheer range of his fiction-production eludes any hope
of comprehensive citing here--but you could start with anything from "When She Sings" 'a flash Parisian opera thriller'--racy,
well-described, but a touch obtuse--to "The Jungle Skull" a Brazilian escapade, very well-written and well worth your time.
Lissner writes convincingly in myriad 'modes'--the constant aspect of his work is that it is always exciting, and always entertaining.
