New Faces: A TEGG Hellmaw Short Story — Chris A. Jackson

**Prequel to Hellmaw: Dragon Dreams**

Some daemons take on human guise by shifting their shape, while others chose a more…personal approach. “New Faces,” the prequel short story to the Hellmaw novel, Dragon Dreams, tells how one daemon takes on the semblance of Derrick Penningly, Princeton student and son of rich and powerful humans. But climbing the social ladder turns out to be more than this daemon bargained for.

ABOUT HELLMAW
Hellmaw is Ed Greenwood's, creator of Forgotten Realms®, darkest setting to-date.Arc 1 of Hellmaw focuses on close-up, character-driven stories about interpersonal relationships, centered on the Araurra, daemon exiles thrust into our modern real-world Earth and finding their feet/roles/niches on our turf, perhaps learning they are being hunted. And perhaps being the hunters.
ABOUT CHRIS A. JACKSON
From the sea to the stars, Chris A. Jackson's stories take you to the far reaches of the imagination. Raised on the back deck of a fishing boat and trained as a marine biologist, he became sidetracked by a career in biomedical research, but regained his heart and soul in 2009 when he and his wife Anne left the dock aboard the 45-foot sailboat Mr Mac to cruise the Caribbean and write fulltime.

With his nautical background, writing sea stories seemed inevitable for Chris. His acclaimed Scimitar Seas nautical fantasies won three consecutive Gold Medals in the ForeWord Reviews Book of the Year Awards. Pirate's Honor, a Pathfinders Tale from Paizo Publishing, combines high-seas combat and romance set in the award-winning world of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Not to be outdone, Privateer Press released Blood & Iron, a swashbuckling novella set in the Iron Kingdoms.

Chris' repertoire also includes the award-winning and Kindle best-selling Weapon of Flesh Trilogy (Weapon of Flesh and Weapon of Blood currently available; Weapon of Vengeance due out July 2014), as well as five additional fantasy novels, the humorous sci fi Cheese Runners trilogy of novellas, and short stories.

His new novels, Weapon of Fear, book two of the second Weapon of Flesh trilogy, and Pirate's Prophecy, a Pathfinder tale are now available.
