PRESS RELEASE:

CAPTAIN HAZZARD The Citadel of Fear By Ron Fortier & Martin Powell NEW AIRSHIP 27 EDITION 

Airship 27 Productions is happy to once again announce the availability of its second Captain Hazzard adventure; Citadel of Fear by Ron Fortier & Martin Powell.

 In 2011 Airship 27 Productions parted ways with their former publisher and many of their titles soon sold out at distributors such as Amazon etc. Eventually copies could only be found at various independent bookstores selling for exorbitant prices.

“It was always our intention to get all our titles back out in these new Airship 27 editions,” explains Managing Editor & Co-author Fortier. “Of course we have to juggle doing these reprint editions around our schedule for releasing new titles. It’s not always an easy task. Over the past year, many Captain Hazzard fans have written us complaining of the book’s unavailability at a fair and reasonable price.”

Fortier also notes that the remaining two Captain Hazzard novels that he has written; Curse of the Red Maggot and Cavemen of New York will also be offered in new editions as time allows. “Obviously it’s our goal to have all of them up soon and we thank our loyal fans for their patience in this process.”

When scientists from all studies begin disappearing, Captain Hazzard and his team of adventures take up the mystery which leads them to a secluded city of wonders deep within Rocky Mountains ruled by the daughter of a would-be world conqueror. The book is the first co-writing venture between Fortier and Powell, long time friends and features interior illustrations by Art Director Rob Davis with a stunning cover by Laura Givens.  

Fortier is currently writing a fifth Captain Hazzard novel he hopes to have completed soon.

New Pulp Author Van Allen Plexico’s latest novel is the first in a series of Military Science Fiction New Pulp Space Opera adventure novels called The Shattering, published by White Rocket Books.

Press Release – For Immediate Release

THE SHATTERING: LORDS OF FIRE Arrives in Trade Paperback!

Plexico Brings Military SF/Space Opera to the world of New Pulp!

(January 28, 2013)  White Rocket Books proudly announces the release in trade paperback format of Van Allen Plexico’s THE SHATTERING, LEGION I: LORDS OF FIRE!

Stripped of his authority by the Emperor of Mankind and assigned to duty in deepest space for failing to prevent the greatest robbery in history, former Colonel Ezekial Tamerlane believes his career as a soldier is over.  But strange forces are at work, urging the Emperor to set out on a journey fraught with dangers into a nightmare realm a universe away from our own; and Tamerlane, like it or not, is going along for the ride.  What he and his high-tech super-soldiers find along the way will shake the Empire to its very foundations, and unleash a crisis of galactic proportions that not all the armies in creation can hold back…

“Plexico is the master of space opera.” –Pulp Fiction Reviews

LORDS OF FIRE begins a new galaxy-shattering adventure from the author of HAWK: HAND OF THE MACHINE and LUCIAN: DARK GOD’S HOMECOMING, and bridges the divide between those two novels and universes.  Here we see the fallout from the war of the gods in LUCIAN, and the growing crisis that will lead to the creation of Hawk and the other Hands of the Machine.  Futuristic armies clash, godlike beings manipulate empires, and the gateway to the Underverse of the Below is reopened, unleashing slavering demonic hordes upon an unsuspecting galaxy!

Plexico’s previous novel, SENTINELS: METALGOD, reached #1 on the New Pulp Best-Sellers List in December 2012.  “Nobody—not even Abnett and Lanning—does cosmic superheroes like Van Allen Plexico.  Nobody,” said Barry Reese, creator of the Rook and Lazarus Grey.

“I wanted this book to kick off the new “Shattering” saga with a bang—with action from start to finish,” says Plexico of LORDS OF FIRE, “and that’s exactly what it does.  I have no doubt that my loyal cadre of longtime readers will enjoy it, and I’m confident it will appeal to a new readership of bold Military SF enthusiasts who like a mash-up of high-tech combat and supernatural menaces in the vein of the Warhammer 40,000 books.”

White Rocket Books is a leader in the New Pulp movement, publishing exciting action and adventure novels and anthologies since 2005, in both traditional and electronic formats.   White Rocket books have hit the Amazon.com Top 15-by-Genre and reached #1 on the New Pulp Best-Sellers List, and have garnered praise from everyone from Marvel Comics Vice-President Tom Brevoort to Kirkus Reviews.

THE SHATTERING, LEGION I: LORDS OF FIRE is a $15.95, 6×9 format trade paperback from White Rocket Books.

Press Release:

AVAILABLE NOW!
DAUGHTER OF DRACULA
The Complete Script
By Ron Fortier
graphic novel cover

Writer Ron Fortier and Artist Rob Davis will be guests at this year’s Oklahoma Writer’s Federation Conference to be held in Norman, Oklahoma May 2-4.  Further details can be found at the organizations website.

Fortier and Davis will be presenting two 90 minute workshops on the creation of a graphic novel.  The primary example of their presentation will be their own 108 pg. erotic horror graphic novel, DAUGHTER OF DRACULA published in 2007 by Davis’ Redbud Studio.
The team will be using a visual power-point slide show to illustrate the various technical aspects writing comics and the artist interpreting a script and bringing it to graphic life.  Copies of the graphic novel will be on sale at the conference as well as this recently produced book version of the comic script. 
“It seemed like a natural thing to do,” Fortier explains.  “We thought writers having attended our workshops would benefit from not only having the graphic novel but the script from which it was derived as well.  This way they could compare pages from the scrip to the completed art in the comic thus underscoring the points we will be making in our presentations.”

HOLMES COMES TO BLACK COAT

  • January 20, 2013

New Pulp Publisher Black Coat Press has released two new books featuring the world’s greatest consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes and the Vampires of Eternity by Brian Stableford and Sherlock Holmes and the Circle of Blood by Steve Leadley are now available in paperback and ebook editions.

Cover Art: Daniele Serra

Sherlock Holmes and the Vampires of Eternity by Brian Stableford-
From 1895, when the means of visiting the future through drug-induced “timeshadowing” is discovered by Professor Copplestone, to 12 million years AD, when the Universal Engine seeks to determine the cosmos’ ultimate fate, the vast tapestry of time is the theater of a time war between the Overmen, descendents of the vampires, Humanity, and the shadowy intelligence that waits at the End of Time. Sherlock Holmes, the great detective, Count Dracula, the reluctant vampire, the mercurial Oscar Wilde, William Hope Hodgson, freshly returned from the Night Land of the Great War, the visionary H. G. Wells, Alfred Jarry, Camille Flammarion, and many other figures from the literary firmament, become pawns and players in a conflict that spans the entire course of universal history.

Sherlock Holmes and the Circle of Blood by Steve Leadley-
Three all-new Sherlock Holmes adventures : The Circle of Blood: One of Cape May’s most prominent citizens has been the victim of a brutal and mysterious murder. A bizarre and cryptic message lies adjacent to the body: a bust of Socrates circled in blood. The police are baffled since nothing appears to be missing from the house, and the man is reported to have had no enemies. Holmes and Watson agree to go to the nation’s oldest resort to investigate. The Highland Intrigue: Watson receives a letter from an old comrade asking for assistance. His uncle, the Duke of Montrose, has died in an “indelicate” manner. Holmes and Watson journey to Fintry Castle in Scotland to investigate. The problem turns out to be much deeper than first expected and not only involves murder, but a historical mystery seeped in Scottish folklore. The Medium Problem: Watson learns that a medium and a confederate are conducting séances in London. She is gaining a following, capitalizing on the Spiritualist movement that has taken root. Watson sees the séances as fraud and implore Holmes to expose the pair, but the detective remains disinterested until the medium recovers a stolen diamond through her alleged supernatural powers…

1940’S HEROINE, MISS FURY RETURNS

  • January 19, 2013

Press Release:

MISS FURY #1 COMING FROM DYNAMITE NEXT APRIL!

January 16, 2013, Mt. Laurel, NJ – Dynamite proudly announces the April debut of Miss Fury #1, written by the acclaimed Rob Williams (Venom, Uncanny X-Force), drawn by Jack Herbert, and featuring covers by J. Scott Campbell, Alex Ross, Paul Renaud, and Will Conrad!  Also, as a special “thank you” to dedicated fans, Dynamite is making a gorgeous Miss Fury #1 Exclusive Alex Ross Advance Order Subscription Variant cover, limited to retailer initial orders.  Miss Fury sees the heroine of World War II revived for the 21st Century!

“It’s the kickass action of La Femme Nikita meets the political intrigue of Homeland,” says writer Rob Williams.  ”We’re bringing the original super-heroine from the 1940s into 2013 and the future in a time-travel adventure like no other.”

“We’re absolutely thrilled to bring back Miss Fury,” says Nick Barrucci, CEO and Publisher at Dynamite.  ”It’s a project we’ve been looking forward to for some time, waiting for just the right voice, coupled with the right artist.  Rob’s phenomenal script rips Miss Fury out of the past and throws her into the modern era, providing an epic landscape for a tumultuous personal story.  Plus, the interior artwork by Jack Herbert speaks for itself – we’re revealing several pages here in our announcement, and our heroine has never looked so gorgeous… and vicious!  This will be one of our biggest launches for the first half of 2013.”

In Miss Fury #1, the pulp heroine returns!  When Miss Fury foils a wartime plot by Nazi secret agents, she is catapulted through time… or so it seems.  Is she really careening from past to future and back, or has she lost her mind?  And if her sanity remains intact, can one lone heroine possibly hope to end World War II by herself, a conflict still waged into the year 2013?  As witness to generations of bloodshed and violence, Miss Fury has lots of righteous rage… and anger is her fearsome power!

Make sure to pick up Miss Fury #1 in April 2013!
