TALES OF YESTERYEAR FROM PRO SE TO DEBUT AT IPULPFICTION.COM!
PRESS RELEASE
Pro Se Productions and Tommy Hancock, Editor in Chief/Partner in Pro Se and Author of the novel YESTERYEAR, announced today that a series of stories set in the YesterYear universe Hancock created in his novel would be debuting on November 4th from iPulpFiction!
www.iPulpFiction.com is the brainchild of Keith Shaw and is a venue where short stories, both Classic and New Pulp, appear as individual tales and can be downloaded and enjoyed at extremely reasonable prices. “This,” Hancock stated, “relationship with iPulpFiction is a natural fit for Pro Se, but especially for TALES OF YESTERYEAR (the name of the series of short stories from Hancock to appear on the site). This is a chance to tell tales of the Heroic Era, the Golden Age of my cast of characters. And the fact that they will appear regularly and be extremely affordable only adds to my excitement about this partnership.”
Tales of YesterYear will feature stories from 1929-1955 in Hancock’s YESTERYEAR Universe and will add insight to events in the first novel and coming tales, but also will work as stand alone Pulp adventures. The first four stories to kick off this series are actually drawn from the novel itself, taken right from the pages of the fictional book that is the axis the story turns around. “These tales,” Hancock explained, “are a great jumping on point and that’s why they showed up in YESTERYEAR. You get the origin of the Heroes basically and some of the earliest stars in that pantheon. But many have requested even more tales from this part of the story, from this era. So don’t worry, there’ll be all new never before published stories from the fifth one on in this series as well.”
The initial story, THE FIRST YESTERYEAR, introduces the series and will be FREE and available on November 4th. Next will be MURPHY’S WAKE, probably the most popular tale of the YesterYear mythos thus far, the origin of The Night. This intriguing Pulp tale debuts on December 2nd for 50 cents! January 2nd sees the release of ONE GOOD EYE introducing yet another hero at a price of 75 cents! The fourth tale, FOR FLAG AND COUNTRY, goes live on January 27th for the fantastic price of one single quarter!
TALES OF YESTERYEAR revisits an era held dear by many Pulp fans and mixes in Hancock’s own characters with that period of history, weaving action, adventure, excitement and mystery into this familiar, yet new world of Heroes and Villains!

REINAGEL EPIC NOVELLA NOW APPEARING IN PRO SE PRESENTS #3!
And Available soon from www.pulpbookstore.com
PULP ARK NEW PULP TRAVELING CON A PART OF MEMPHIS COMIC CON THIS WEEKEND!
PULP ARK, the official New Pulp Convention, debuted in Batesville, Arkansas on May 13-15, 2011. Due to the initial success of the format and comments made by both guests and attendees, PULP ARK decided to offer its programming, from panels to classrooms to rather unique programming aspects, such as a live action play in the midst of the show, to other Conventions and Shows. PULP ARK announces that the first convention that will host New Pulp Traveling Con Programming is the Memphis Comic and Fantasy Convention (www.memphiscfc.com) October 14-16, 2011 in Memphis, Tennessee!
This plan, according to Tommy Hancock, PULP ARK Founder and Coordinator was not restricted to Pulp themed shows. “As a matter of fact,” Hancock reports, “the original discussions that prompted this among Pulp Ark guests, many of them creators in both Pulps and Comics as well as other mediums, focused on offering this unique programming to Non Pulp Shows, like Comic and Fantasy conventions, old time radio conventions, genre specific shows, and so on. So we’re extremely excited to be a part of the Memphis Comic and Fantasy Convention and so far they’re as excited as we are to have us!”
The line up for NEW PULP Programming is a stellar one. Hancock, listed as PULP GUEST OF HONOR on the con’s site states that the real talent are those who are coming with him. “Super Hero Pulp author extraordinaire Van Plexico and Author of Pulp Epics Wayne Reinagel will be there to do panels and take part in the programming. Also, Erwin K. Roberts of Planetary Stories and Pulp Spirit, among others, as well as Don Thomas, author, and Pete Cooper, artist of Pro Se Productions will be there to work their wondrous magic. This will be a weekend of panels, classrooms, plays, theater, and most of all camaraderie.”
For the schedule of New Pulp Panels as well as all the other goodness that will be at the Memphis Comic and Fantasy Convention, check out the website at www.memphiscfc.com! Come out and see what NEW PULP has to do with Comics and Fantasy! You might be surprised and actually learn something!
PRO SE PRESENTS FOR OCTOBER-AN EPIC NOVELLA BY AN AUTHOR OF EPICS!
Pro Se Productions, Publisher of New Pulp books, anthologies, and magazines, announces today that the October issue of its magazine, PRO SE PRESENTS, will be a special issue featuring the novella, THE HUNTER ISLAND ADVENTURE by well known New Pulp author Wayne Reinagel.
Never before in print, THE HUNTER ISLAND ADVENTURE features characters from Reinagel’s INFINITE HORIZONS Universe and his PULP HEROES trilogy. “Infinite Horizons,” according to Reinagel, “explores the secret lives and revealing the unrecorded adventures of the greatest heroes and villains to ever walk the Earth.
“In the worlds of Infinite Horizons, the question is explored, what if the Victorian and Pulp era adventures actually occurred in our universe. And taking into account all of the events that have happened since that time, how would this have altered the pulp heroes from the 30’s and 40’s? The answers to these questions are presented in the first trilogy of Infinite Horizons novels entitled Pulp Heroes.
“Pulp Heroes is an epic adventure, spanning two centuries in time and linking the incredible lives of history’s most popular Victorian Age adventurers of the 1800’s with the greatest action heroes of the Pulp Era and an assortment of well-known, real-life figures.”
PRO SE AND BROKENSEA TAKE NEW PULP TO THE NEXT LEVEL!
