THE MYSTIC WARRIOR

 

Airship 27 Productions turns its focus once more on a classic pulp hero, the Green Lama, Mystic Warrior.

 

Jethro Dumont was a jaded, rich American who hungered to find purpose in this world.  His search for self-knowledge and fulfillment led him to a secluded Buddhist monastery high in the Tibetan Himalayas.  There Dumont studied the mysteries of the orient at the same time learning to accept the non-violent tenets of this ancient and venerated philosophy.  By the time he returned to America, he was a changed man; one possessed with mental clarity and unique, mystic abilities beyond the understanding of normal men.  Now, with the aid of his Buddhist companion, Tsarong, he assumes the identity of a new, eerie crime-fighter, The Green Lama!

 

For years the exploits of Green Lama have thrilled pulp fans both in his own magazine, in comics and on radio.  Now he returns to pulp action in this collection featuring two previous issued classics by Peter Miller and Kevin Noel Olson and two brand new, never before printed adventures by Nick Ahlhelm and Robert Craig.  From confronting Nazis in his beloved Tibet to investigating bizarre murders in a Hollywood movie studio, Jethro Dumont’s new career is one filled with plenty of action and adventure as the Mystic Warrior strikes again!

 

“This was one of the first pulp hero books we produced almost nine years ago,” says Airship 27 Productions’ Managing Editor, Ron Fortier.  “At that time the anthology featured a longer novella by another writer who has since moved on.  Thus it became impossible for us to reprint the book as it originally appeared.  Last year we were extremely lucky in recruiting Nick Ahlhelm and Robert Craig to do two new stories allowing us to reshape the volume and reintroduce it to our readers.”

 

GREEN LAMA – MYSTIC WARRIOR features a cover by Isaac Nacilla and twelve brand new interior illustrations by Neil T. Foster with book design by Art Director Rob Davis.  “We hope our fans like what we’ve done with this character,” concludes Fortier.  “After all, you just can’t have enough mystic warriors in the pulp world.”

MY BROTHER’S KEEPER Arrives in Trade Paperback!

David Wright’s Debut Novel Brings Epic Fantasy to the New Pulp World!

(May 22, 2014)  White Rocket Books proudly announces the release in trade paperback format of David Wright’s MY BROTHER’S KEEPER, Volume 1 of the “Galahad’s Doom” series!

Centuries ago, Saint Galahad came to the world of Lanis, bringing with him the teachings of The Way. Before his death, the great Saint was granted a vision of a cataclysmic future.

New to the king's army and relegated to remote border duty, Galen Griffon led a peaceful life until a battle with marauders from the North pulled him onto a path of Destiny. Meanwhile circumstances find his brother, Lucas, on a much darker path, willing to do anything to prove his worth.

Ancient foes bide their time as the world moves closer to war. Wizards and demons conspire to control the fate of the kingdoms. Omens herald the days of Galahad's Doom and the Church awaits the rise of the Creator's Champion.

Torn between duty to king and god, Galen must decide if he will embrace The Way or reject the beliefs of his forefathers. The fate of Lanis, held under the Creator's gaze, hangs in the balance.

In this debut novel, popular New Pulp adventure author David Wright (Gideon Cain: Demon Hunter; Hero’s Best Friend) weaves a tale of faith and magic; of temptation and redemption, as Galen must discover who he is in a kingdom on the cusp of war.

“There's an odd tension between some conservative groups and magic-based fantasy,” observes Wright. “I decided to explore that area between faith and magic and found it fertile ground for drama. I ended up with a hero torn between duties to church and state. I'm excited to finally get this book out and look forward to hearing from readers.”

“I already had tremendous respect and admiration for David Wright’s skills as a writer,” says Van Allen Plexico of White Rocket Books. “But with this novel, he has exceeded everything his audience could have hoped for and expected. This is a tour-de-force and a home run—and it’s powerful on a spiritual level as well as being a terrific adventure story.”

The book boasts a spectacular cover painting by artist Mark Williams (Legion I: Lords of Fire).

 White Rocket Books is a leader in the New Pulp movement and in adventure fiction, 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.

MY BROTHER’S KEEPER is a $15.95, 6x9 format trade paperback from White Rocket Books. 
330 pages.
ISBN-13:  978-0692204030     ISBN-10:   0692204032   (5.5 x 8.5” Trade Paperback)

Your Daily Ralph- Blog Tour Posting Robert Stanek

 Today I’m pleased to feature Robert Stanek. In 2013, Robert Stanek signed an 8-book six-figure contract with his long-time publisher. In the past, he’s had big contracts for several books, but nothing so substantial. To him, it was a wonderful confirmation of his commitment to the written word.
 Since he’s been talking about the contract and the books lately, he often hears from people who congratulate him on “his quick success” and “his rapid rise to acclaim.” Robert Stanek is, of course, a critically and commercially acclaimed author of more than 150 books. He also is one of the world’s leading authorities in the subjects he writes about. But his success wasn't over night or rapid by any means.
 Robert Stanek has been a writer for over 30 years and only 20 as a published professional. He earned his stripes in this crazy business when he wrote for many years for the simple pleasure of writing itself. Even though he finished his first full-length novel in 1986 and won his first writing award in 1991, it wasn’t until 1994 that he signed his first contract. It wasn’t until 1995 that his first book was published. It wasn’t until 1996 that he was able to write full-time.
 His full-time work as a writer is as a technology journalist and nonfiction writer. In those early days, Robert Stanek wrote articles for leading publications like PC Magazine and Dr. Dobbs. He also wrote books for leading publishers like Macmillan, Pearson, McGraw Hill, Microsoft, and O’Reilly Media. That was, of course, success, and he did in fact rise quickly, becoming a recognized world leader in his field in only a few short years.
 Success, however, can be short lived. In publishing, a writer’s last success doesn’t necessarily pave the road to the future. A writer’s future is determined by his or her next book and often also by factors the writer cannot control. The world changes every day. Trends and tastes shift. Yesterday’s media darling can be tomorrow’s nobody.
 Robert Stanek has lived the change firsthand. Between 1995 and 1998, he signed more than a dozen contracts, wrote books as fast as he could write them for readers who couldn’t get his books fast enough. He was on fire. He thought the ride would never end, until it did.
 The market changed. Trends and tastes shifted. The hot topics of the day were flooded with a smorgasbord of offerings. There weren’t just 10 or 20 books on that hot topic, there were a hundred. Eventually, this oversaturation cannibalized sales of all similar books. Thus, even as his success and career were hitting new highs, Robert Stanek was left scrambling.
 But unlike many of his contemporaries at the time, he saw the light of that oncoming freight train. He knew his options. He knew what he had to do.
 He could continue to write books in an oversaturated market, try to live with sales that were a tiny fraction of what they had been, or he could look to new opportunities. He chose plan b—the new opportunities. He risked everything, left his old publishers who weren’t interested in his new ideas, and went out looking for publishers who were interested in his new ideas.
 The change meant Robert Stanek had to rejoin the working world. He took a job with a tech company in Seattle and joined the ranks of the marathon commuters, driving 140 miles round trip every working day. He continued writing in the evenings and on weekends. He continued to pitch his new ideas to new publishers.
 Days and weeks passed. Months too. By the sixth month, he and his wife were seriously considering options and wishing they’d sold the family home and moved to Seattle months ago.
 But he didn’t give up. Instead, Robert Stanek polished his ideas yet again and sent them out via his agent to a new publisher who he heard was looking to do something different. He just hoped that the “something different” they wanted would be his radical idea for a new series of books.
 The wait to hear back from the publisher was agony because at this point it was make or break. If he heard back from the publisher and it wasn’t good news, his writing career likely was over. If he heard back from the publisher and it was good news, there was hope, but no certainty.
 Thankfully, he heard back from his agent within a few days and the news was good. The publisher wanted to meet with him. The publisher wanted to discuss his ideas.
 During the meeting, it was clear that the publisher liked his ideas but he’d need to provide sample chapters, expand the series details, have more face-to-face meetings, and generally do more to convince them. The hard part that followed required a leap of faith. He couldn’t do all that was required of him, in the time that was required of him, and keep working full-time elsewhere. He had to quit the day job and proceed, or keep the day job and let the dream die.
 Robert Stanek chose the dream. He gave notice, worked his last two weeks while he continued developing the materials needed. A few weeks in, he learned the publisher had one idea for the series and he had another. Worse, the concepts were radically different.
 He thought for sure disaster was ahead. Thankfully, the publisher did eventually sign him to a two-book contract. A contract to do things their way—and not his way.
 However, the sample chapters he’d written over the past weeks were for his series concept and not theirs, so he kept writing the books his way. For this publisher, it was something unheard of for any writer to go outside the standard or to deviate from fixed standards. But his editors loved the final chapters he submitted, and he completed the work in its entirety ahead of schedule—so many weeks ahead of schedule they didn't quite know what to do, and this also was something else that was unheard of.
 In fact, he was so far ahead of schedule, that the book’s publication dates were moved back several months. Those several months proved critical, as they allowed the publisher to showcase the books at a major industry event when the publisher otherwise would not have been able to. And the books done his way were smash hits at the event.
 The rest as they say is history. Those contracts were followed by two other contracts from other publishers that he’d contacted previously. Suddenly, Robert Stanek was back in the publishing business.
 That little series he started? That series would eventually go on to become one of the biggest blockbuster series for the publisher, with over 2 million book sales—and counting.
 Those first books he wrote in that series? They set the foundation for the entire series and became critically-acclaimed, award-winning bestsellers.
 Not too shabby for ideas nobody wanted and no one but he believed in. Sometimes in life you must take that leap of faith. Sometimes you must believe in yourself when no one else does. Sometimes you must follow the wrong path to find the right one.
 If you haven’t read Robert Stanek’s books, I hope you’ll do so. Many of his fiction books are set in the fantasy world of Ruin Mist (http://www.ruinmistmovie.com/). As a former linguist and intelligence specialist who has lived in many countries, he’s tried to bring these cultures to the fantastic world he created, and many of the people, places and things in Ruin Mist reflect the ancient peoples and societies of our world. His Ruin Mist books were #1 bestsellers in Amazon’s Audible store for 14 consecutive weeks in 2005. The Ruin Mist books include:
Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches #1, 2, 3, 4
In the Service of Dragons #1, 2, 3, 4
Guardians of the Dragon Realms #1, 2
Dragons of the Hundred Worlds #1, 2
A Daughter of Kings #1, 2, 3, 4

 

 In his NSA Spy Thrillers featuring former agent Scott Madison Evers, Robert Stanek masterfully uses his own experiences as an intelligence analyst working with the NSA to create a believable hero you want to cheer for. His spy thrillers include
The Pieces of the Puzzle
The Cards in the Deck.

Your Daily Ralph~Major Lacy Book Review 5/17/14

Major Lacy Book Review

 

I finished reading a book entitled ‘The New Adventures of Major Lacy and Amusement Inc.’. I had never heard of the character before picking this new book up. Lacy and his men are a team of ex-World War One soldiers who, looking for something to do to aid society, become vigilante hunters of criminals. It’s an interesting book in that these men, not unlike the Shadow or the Spider hunt down and kill their enemies on the wrong side of the law. They’re not looking to arrest anyone. They opt for a more permanent solution.

The book is written by some of the top names in New Pulp. Men like Bobby Nash, Andrew Salmon, David White, and Jim Beard among others.

This is a great book about a very obscure character who deals with his enemies with finality. Along the way you get to meet his crew of soldiers (All Ex-Marines) who aid him and continue to act as a well-oiled fighting unit.

Lacy is a soldier, not a super-hero ala Doc Savage. He’s down and dirty in many ways when it comes to fighting his enemies. Enemies which include the Scarlet Ace and his daughter Zita, who are basically Lacy’s opposites on the side of crime.

It’s an action filled, exciting book that held my attention. I can’t say enough good things about it. Well worth reading. Go get yourself a copy today!

My Enemy, Myself

The Crystalon Saga

Book Two

 

 

 

 

 

From Ralph L. Angelo Jr., winner of the '2014 New Pulp Award' for 'Best New Author' and the creator of 'The Cagliostro Chronicles' comes the long awaited sequel to 'Redemption of the Sorcerer'

 

It has been two years since Crystalon defeated the mad warlord Maceyis. Much has changed in that time. Crystalon has become his adopted world’s hidden mystic guardian, protecting the Earth from those who would threaten it with evil, sorcerous intent.

 

Until a visitor from his past, one he never expected to see again would appear within his very home. Now he and his companions must travel between worlds to his home dimension, a universe where he is hated and feared, to face a threat that dwarfs any challenge he has ever faced before. The challenge of an enemy who wears his very face. The challenge of 'My Enemy, Myself'.

 

In this new volume, Mr. Angelo shows us the universe Crystalon was from in depth. A universe that is so very different from our own. It is a universe where magic is the norm and all depends upon it, not science. It is a universe where mankind has long since reached its outer reaches through ships powered by magic or by magical teleportation and it is a universe that hates and fears Crystalon, now more than ever with the sins his double has perpetrated upon the citizens of this universe. Can the mighty sorcerer and his companions survive long enough to wrest control of this entire reality from a madman who would do anything to maintain his power? Even enter into pacts with the devil? Find out within the exciting pages of ‘My Enemy, Myself, The Crystalon Saga, Book Two’.

Exodus: Empires at War: Book 6: The Day of Battle

By Doug Dandridge



 

 Sean needs a victory, before Parliament returns a no confidence vote and leaves him a figurehead ruler. The Ca'cadasans are almost through with their conquest of Sector IV, and from the there, the heart of the Empire is exposed. The Ca'cadasans continue to roll over the New Terran Empire and the New Terran Republic. Hit and run tactics are taking a toll on the enemy, bleeding them, but not enough. Frontier worlds, developing planets, and worse, the industrial powerhouses known as Core Worlds, are falling at an alarming rate, and even the new weapons based on wormhole tech can't stop them. Risks need to be taken, everything put on the line. Sean must come up with a plan that allows him to take on and defeat the Caca battle fleet. Only then can he buy the time his Empire needs to battle the enemy on even footing, and keep the people without a plan from gaining controi of the Empire. Defeat could spell disaster, but so could inaction. He has even more new weapons to deploy, devices beyond imagination, and the shipyards are working to capacity. Allies are gathering, but so are regional enemies who join the cause of the enormous aliens. And a client species of the Cacas is looking to play both sides to their own benefit, while the Cacas plan on a strike that will take wormhole technology away from the humans, once and for all. The Day of Battle is upon the Empire, and the history of the human species depends on the outcome.

The Making of

‘My Enemy, Myself

The Crystalon Saga, Book Two’

 

Boy, has this been a long road. This book was actually finished with the writing phase (Which BTW everyone, that’s the easy part. It’s actually the simple part. It’s everything else that’s like sticking your face in a meat grinder.) before Christmas. A lot of things got in the way of this being out there much sooner. I’m not going into the specifics but just trust me; this was a very painstaking endeavor.

But it is finally wrapped up. Last night I uploaded it to be published , this morning I looked over a digital proof and made one final adjustment on everything and sent it back in to be re-proofed. This is going to be the very best, most professionally finished book yet from me. While I’m very happy with everything I’ve written and produced so far, this one has come out the best. So much so that I may go back and re-produce the previous three Cosmic Comet Productions books just to bring them up to this standard.

But the fact is most people will never realize this because E-books outsell paper these days. So no one would realize any of the painstaking steps I’ve taken to bring this book up to a level I’ll be satisfied with, and I’m sure I’ll find something else down the road that will cause me to go back, repair whatever I’ve seen and upload yet another completed file, because yes, I’m that crazy about this stuff being perfect. But don’t worry someone will still find something to complain about, no matter what.

The production of a book is a truly painstaking endeavor. As I alluded to earlier, writing it is the easy part. I’ve been very blessed (Have I told you ‘thank you’ lately God for pointing me at the right people along the way? Well thank you, in case I haven’t.) with meeting up with the right people as far as artist and editors go. I’ve also been able to pick the brains of colleagues in certain groups on FB and Yahoo for suggestions about how certain things should be added and defined within the context of a book. It’s been a learning experience that as with everything in life will always continue.

What I mean there is you never know it all. There’s always something that you learn along the way with each new book.

Something else to talk about as well, the sense of satisfaction finishing a book and getting it out there brings. It’s a huge sigh of relief to see a project finished. This is one damned fine book too.  Even though the first Crystalon book didn’t set the world on fire with sales, it definitely has its fans, and the reviews have been stellar. I seem to do some of my best writing on this character. ‘My Enemy Myself’ is similar in that respect. Crystalon is at the top of his game now, but he’s going back to a place he hasn’t been to in two years by his reckoning. A place that used to be as familiar as the back of his hand, and now it no longer is. A lot changes in two years. The mighty sorcerer Crystalon is about to find that out on his newest adventure. Come along for the ride, I think you’ll enjoy it.
