T.C. Rypel (tedrypel) | 123 comments Sorry to hear this. Dick Tierney was a great writer and longtime collaborator of my friend David C. Smith. R.I.P. to another stellar swordsman of the Old Guard.

Devrim | 15 comments I have not heard about Mr.Richard L. Tierney before coming across this post. I am sorry to hear that he passed away.
I checked his books on the internet and I got very curious from what I read.
Unfortunately The Scroll of Thoth: Simon Magus and the Great Old Ones: Twelve Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos does not exist as ebook and available copies are sold like 150 $ at Amazon. That probably means I can only read it if Chaosium decides to republish it.
It is a pity because the adventures of Simon Magus are a blend of sword&sorcery and mythos, just to my taste.
I will definitely be looking forward an ebook edition or re-print.

SORCERY AGAINST CAESAR is essentially the same collection (with more content!) as THE SCROLL OF THOTH. It's available on kindle now for 99 cents in tribute honour of Mr. Tierney. Snap it up.

Strange but somehow I can not see kindle version of that book for sale at amazon.
Maybe it is only for usa residents ? or they just removed it ? No idea.

You might reach out to Pickman Press directly. I cannot find an email address for them, but if you have Facebook you could message them. They have a phone number listed on their FB page also.

Thank you very much @Steve, for heads up on Sorcery Against Caesar title.
Edit : Thank you for the advice @Richard. I could manage to buy a digital copy from another seller. Still I appreciate your suggestion.

No worries. Hope you get it sorted. The link you posted sounds a good bet if amazon isn't following through for you. The same deal applies, I see.
