Tales from Castle Destro was born of my frustration at the short supply of G.I. Joe themed fiction available. That's not to say there isn't a lot of good material out there, but I was interested in stories that didn't feature the same small group of core characters. Determined to write the kind of stories I wanted the read, I started a fan-fiction blog and began work on a short story. I created new characters and dropped them into the existing world with the intention of exploring new areas. To my surprise, it was well-received by friends and fellow fans, who encouraged me to continue writing about the characters I’d introduced.

Tales from Castle Destro Volume I - Mercenary War is available as a free ebook. This is a collected volume of the first twenty-two chapters published at the blog.

Tales from Castle Destro Volume II - Aftermath is also available as a free ebook. This contains another twenty chapters, which pick up immediately after Volume I ends.

Image

Tales from Castle Destro Volume III - Vengeance is also available as a free ebook. This contains yet another twenty chapters, which pick up immediately after Volume II ends.

You can also follow Tales from Castle Destro on Facebook!

Please consider "following" the blog. It lets me know that people are enjoying what I'm doing.

Thanks to those that have encouraged this endeavor - I truly appreciate your support.

Thanks for the info! Also, if you're looking for more Destro/Iron Grenadier fiction, check out my ongoing work here:

Synopsis:

In the cutthroat world of international arms sales, James McCullen Destro and his MARS corporation have always been in the forefront as the premier independent weapon supplier to any in need. From legitimate governments to rogue nations, from recognized units to terrorist organizations, all are fair game as long as they can pay Destro’s prices.

But a new contender on the scene is determined to change that---Juliano Cortez; a self-made millionaire and owner of his own rival arms company. After secretly bolstering his resources for years, Cortez senses the time is right and sets his plans into motion. With an elite team of mercenaries at his disposal equipped with weapons and technology rivaling that of the Iron Grenadiers, he launches a sneak attack that threatens to cripple the backbone of MARS and bring Destro to his knees once and for all.

It deals heavily with the Iron Grenadiers. :)

I cannot wait to read this! I bookmarked it, but I'm going to try and hold off until I finish the volume I'm currently writing. I tend to need to refer to my notes often to make sure I'm not contradicting what I'd written previously, so I really don't want to accidentally co-opt any of your ideas. I know how important feedback is to an author, so I'll make sure to get in touch after I've read it.
