What sort of stories might you expect from our 2012 Christmas spectacular? I'm glad you asked. Here is the blurb from the back cover:

Yuletide Tales of Horror, Woe and Destruction: Featuring characters and setting from their premiere New Pulp creations, here are four soon-to-be Christmas Classics from the pens of master pulpists Josh Reynolds, Joel Jenkins, Derrick Ferguson, and Russ Anderson.

Feast of Fools: The Royal Occultist, Charles St. Cyprian and his lovely assistant, the gun-toting and slightly bloodthirsty Ebe Gallowglass, take down an ancient cult on their Christmas holiday.

Lair of the White Apes: In search of a missing squad of warriors, the former cannibal Naegrik and his companions in arms travel to the snowy reaches of the Dire Planet and explore the not-quite abandoned temple of the One Son.

How to Get Rid of a Body on Christmas Day: It's truly a twisted Christmas when a pair of old comrades contrive a way to dispose of an unwanted corpse one early Christmas morning.

Dillon and the Night Before Christmas: Global instigator Dillon begins to question the reason for his existence as he goes on a rum-soaked Christmas Eve bender, and discovers what the world would look like without him.

Guns of the Crow

Check out Josh Reynold's Royal Occultist blog for an essay on Native American gunfighter, occult investigator, and mystical poet Lone Crow.  Also listed is a complete bibliography of the nine published stories featuring Lone Crow.

Coming in 2013

Old Mother Hennessy

The Gunslingers and Ghost Stories collection from Sci-Fi Trails is now available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble in Kindle and Ebook formats for just $3.55.  Inside, you'll find a number of ghostly tails from the Weird West, including Old Mother Hennessy--a story, written by me, about infamous Native American gunfighter Lone Crow and his erstwhile companion-in-arms Six-Gun Susannah Johnson, the fastest (though perhaps not the most accurate) gun in the West. While running down some bounties they get caught between the vengeful dead and the murderous Hennessy Brothers who aim on adding Crow and Johnson to their graveyard of victims.

The Coming of Crow

I've had a Lone Crow story, entitled Old Mother Hennessy, accepted for publication in the upcoming Science Fiction Trails anthology Gunslingers and Ghost Stories.  Infamous Native American gunfighter Lone Crow and his erstwhile companion Six-Gun Susannah Johnson are hunting down the vicious Hennessy Brothers--a vicious lot of bank robbing, kidnapping killers--and come across a graveyard full of ghosts hungry for vengeance.

David Riley, the editor and owner of the Science Fiction Trails imprint, has been kind enough to forward me the advance art (minus the back cover blurb so we can better enjoy the artwork) as created by the inimitable Laura Givens.

I'll post more information once I have a release date.  In the meantime, you can find Lone Crow stories in The Science Fiction Trails #9: All Martian Spectacular, Six Guns Straight from Hell, Low Noon, How the West was Weird, How the West was Weird 2, How the West was Weird: Campfire Tales, Showdown at Midnight, and in the fifth issue of Dark Worlds Magazine.
