The life cycles of my projects can be really funny sometimes, and also a bit bizarre. For example, the project that would eventually become Love & Bullets, my third novel, was actually begun before I even sat down to write my first novel, Fallen. And The Myth Hunter may actually predate both of…

NaNoWriMo
I mentioned in a previous post that I'd been thinking lately about one of my favorite books, Frankenstein, and how that got me thinking about the monster. He's always been one of my favorite characters in literature, and although I've enjoyed Karloff's interpretation as slow and monosyllabic at best, I prefer…
Monsters everywhere!
I've got two pieces of news for you today. The first is that Pro Se Productions has just released a new book in time for Halloween, called Monster Aces! Here is the description from Pro Se: Having selflessly abandoned their identities, their pasts and their futures, the Monster Aces are all…
Sentinels: A Distant Star
I absolutely loved Van Allen Plexico's first Sentinels book, When Strikes The Warlord. So much, in fact, that once I finished, I immediately bought the second book, A Distant Star. These two books, along with Apocalypse Rising, form the first Sentinels trilogy, "The Grand Design." In this volume, we see the return of…

This is a really exciting New Pulp development! Pro Se Productions and Shindig are teaming up to host a massive event, spotlighting every single aspect of Pro Se! Tons of creators will be taking part in this event, and I encourage everyone to check it out! I was invited to…
Casting Call #3: Christian Pierce
It's been a long time since I've done one of these, but Alias has now been added to Netflix and I've started to watch it. I saw about half of the first season, but then ended up missing the rest. Anyway, I've started watching it again and I started paying more…
The Myth Hunter Saga
Lost continents, ancient artifacts, strange creatures...for all these myths and legends, and more, there is an element of truth in them. Throughout the centuries, there have been myth hunters, people who seek out these legends. And they still exist to this day. There are some, like Elisa Hill, who seek…
Sentinels: When Strikes the Warlord
Have you ever had a book you weren't sure you would like, but then once you started reading it, you couldn't put it down? That's what happened with the first volume of Van Allen Plexico's Sentinels series. I've known this author's name for a very long time, had it come…
Gunfighter Gothic Volume 0: Blood of the Universe
"Ignore her. She loves to throw all that time travel stuff in our ignorant nineteenth-century faces." That quote sums up what I love about Blood of the Universe, Volume 0 of Mark Bousquet's Gunfighter Gothic series. It's a snappy piece of writing and more importantly, it tells the readers that this is a…
Ron Fortier Reviews Dragon Kings of the Orient!
Just as he's reviewed all my other New Pulp offerings, from Love & Bullets to Outlaw Blues, Ron Fortier has now kindly offered his thoughts on the latest installment in the fascinating and bizarre life of myth hunter Elisa Hill. Here's just a bit of what Ron had to say: In this age…
