Lone Crow Story List


To my pleasant surprise, I happened across a Facebook posting about Native American gunfighter Lone Crow, which led to an article on Josh Reynolds' Royal Occultist Blog that lists every published occurrence of Lone Crow's weird western adventures. Check it out, and while you are there poke around Reynolds' blog for information on other occult investigators and especially his own excellent series characters Charles St. Cyprian and Ebe Gallowglass.

In a bit of Crow-related news, which I've mentioned previously, an eighth Lone Crow short story entitled The Vanishing City has been accepted for publication by Science Fiction Trails magazine.  I'll share more information as that comes to fruition.

Works in Progress


...still chronicling the potential demise of the Gantlet Brothers.  The Gantlet Brothers: Sold Out is at 88k words and counting.  I should be wrapping up the first draft next week.

As for the this year, look for The Island of Lost Souls within the next couple of months.  This is my take on the Arthurian legend and my reading of Malory's Le Morte D'Arthur leads me to believe that Arthur and Merlin were less than paragons of virtue and goodness. Still, we do have a pair of heroes in the brother knights, Balan and Balin, from North Umberland.

In Case You Missed It

Fellow PulpWork Press author, Josh Reynolds, has been very busy pumping out various sorts of pulchritidinous pulp prose.  Over the years he's established a number of series characters which make for some great reading.  A few of my favorites are the half man/half robot Pinkerton detective known as Mr. Brass, the steam punk Ulrich Popoca and Countess Felluci stories, and the adventures of the Royal Occultist Charles St. Cyprian and his charming companion-in-arms Ebe Gallowglass as they battle evil magicians and strange and hungry creatures wherever they might uncover them.

In case you missed the news, Josh has a new website devoted to Charles St. Cyprian and Ebe Gallowglass and to celebrate he's posted a free short story entitled Wendy-Smythe's Worm. If you browse through the back postings you can locate the three parts to the story, but to make it easier I've located the three parts and posted the links right here!
