Coming Soon

I expect this to be available sometime at the end of March. Check out the cool cover: artwork by MD Jackson and cover design by Damon Orrell.

Pulp Ark Nomination

I've received a Pulp Ark 'Best Short Story' nomination for my story Gunmen of the Hollow Earth which appears in How the West was Weird: Campfire Tales (99 cents on Kindle) and features Native American gunfighter Lone Crow.  Also, two anthologies which I contributed to (How the West was Weird II and Four Bullets for Dillon) were nominated in the 'Best Collection/Anthology' category.

Even cooler, my fellow PulpWork Press authors Derrick Ferguson and Joshua Reynolds are nominated for the 'Best Writer' award, and Percival Constantine is nominated for best novel due to his work on Myth Hunter.  MD Jackson, the cover artist extraordinaire for a number of my novels has been nominated for his awesome work on the cover of Strange Gods of the Dire Planet.

PulpWork Christmas Special 2011

Until the end of the year Pulpwork is offering free downloads of the PulpWork Christmas Special 2011. This features a spectacular cover by MD Jackson and two tales of Christmas deviltry and destruction by Josh Reynolds and Joel Jenkins.

First, occult investigator Charles St. Cyprian uncovers the ancient Christmas evil behind the legend of merry John Mock and then icy-hearted assassin Monica Killingsworth undertakes a Christmas Eve killing with treachery lurking around every corner.

Note: The free files for the PulpWork Christmas Special have been removed.  Check on Amazon.com to purchase a Kindle copy for just 99 cents.

Lone Crow & Wyatt Earp

I know I teased this story, Against the Gathering Darkness, a long, long time ago but sometimes that's how long it takes to get a story published. But it's finally here! Famous native American gunslinger Lone Crow and another guy named Wyatt Earp join forces to look for a lost archeologist up north of Skagway Alaska and discover a little more than they bargained for lurking at the bottom of a played out mine. This sucker is about 12,000 words long--room enough for some heavy-duty storytelling and an action-packed ending--and you can read it in Dark Worlds #5. If you've got an electronic reader that can handle (PDF) Portable Document Files or you don't mind reading on your computer you can save a bundle by picking up the $3.99 download.

However, some might be tempted to pick up the hard copy just because of the awesome M.D. Jackson cover. But besides the cool cover you're going to get the following line up of nifty pulp-style stories:

"Of Kings and Servants" by C.J. Burch (Sword and Sorcery)

The Hook by J.F. Gonzalez (Horror)

The Black Grave of Deception by Peter Welmerink (Sword and Sorcery)

Body of Work (A Mythos Horror 'Book Collector' story)

The Cryo Game by Jack Mackenzie (Space Adventure)

Black Destiny of Ys by David A. Hardy (Historical Fantasy)

Against the Gathering Darkness by Joel Jenkins (Historical Western Horror/Adventure)
