A SATURDAY TEASE...

I've felt a lot like this guy the past
couple of weeks. HA! HA! HA!Sorry I’ve been behind in updating the site this week. It’s been a bit hectic and I’ve fallen behind. What I thought was going to be a simple dentist visit turned into dental surgery and a week of pain (OUCH!). I’ve also been putting in some OT at the day job and spending what free time I have trying to get some writing deadlines completed on time. Plus, we had a sudden, shocking death in the family that threw me for a loop for a few days.

Although I’m unable to update the page daily like I used to, I’ll keep trying to get content up here as often as possible, at least a few times a week. Nothing specific this time around. Just a few odds and ends.

An author and his book selfie.This beauty was waiting for me in the mail today. Writers For Relief vol. 3 charity anthology. I've got a story about a teenage magician in this one. You should grab a copy on Amazon. Proceeds go to charity. You can find it here.

About WRITERS FOR RELIEF VOL. 3
A science fiction/fantasy charity anthology

The Writers for Relief anthology series feature collections of short fiction by top talents in the realms of fantasy and science fiction writing. The first and second volumes have brought help to Hurricane Katrina survivors through the Red Cross and Bay Area Food Bank, respectively.

My story in this anthology is called  Magnus: The Apprentice . It tells the tale of young Andrew Kenny when he moves to a new town and discovers that not only was his grandfather a powerful sorcerer and protector of the planet Earth from demonic invasion, but that he shares those same gifts. When the villainous Lord Lucius Malfor threatens, Kenny has to learn how to use his powers to fight off a new invasion. 
You can find Writers For Relief Vol. 3 here.
Strong Will's first mission is drawn. Pencils by Wendell Cavalcanti.I love creating comics.

Now that all the pencils are in on Strong Will, Mike Gordon and I went over them and the script again last night. I can't share much yet, but here are the thumbs on my computer.

The first 4 pages can be seen at right here.

Wendell Cavalcanti kicked butt on the pencil art for this story and the pages will be sent off to inker-extraordinaire Rob Jones next. Fun times.

Did I mention that I love creating comics?
"Great Sufferin' Snail!" Love that 1950's dialogue.I'm working on a comic book story featuring this cool character from the '50s crossing paths with the Domino Lady. Stay tuned for more information as I'm allowed to release it.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love creating comics?

"You are being watched..."This also arrived in the mail today. Not sure when I'll have time to watch it, but I absolutely love Person of Interest. It is such a great show, extremely well written and superbly acted. They have a great cast. If you’re not watching Person of Interest, you should be. I highly recommend this one.

A 1930's Pulpy Political Thriller by Bobby Nash. Edited by Nancy Holder.One last reminder... My Domino lady novel, "Money Shot" is coming very, very soon. As soon as the publisher says it is available I'll make sure to spread the word. You can get this one at the usual on-line retailers, comic book shops, and bookstores. Please, ask your local bookstore to order a copy for you.

I hope you enjoyed those teases.

See ya in the funny pages.

WHERE HAVE YOU GONE, MAJOR FUTURE?

Jeff Deischer’s Future Tense: The Golden Age Volume 5 is now available. Features an introduction by some guy named Nash.

Future Tense: The Golden Age Volume 5 - Now available!
by Jeff Deischer

WHO IS MAJOR FUTURE? Like many other heroes of the Auric Universe, Major Future seemed to come from nowhere. In his case, it was more true than in others’. In 1943, a man with superhuman powers that included strength, agility and the ability to see radio waves, found himself in Los Angeles. How he got there and why he had these special abilities, he did not know. Impelled by some inner drive to help others, he took the name “Major Future” and became a superhero. Future Tense tells the full origin of the hero known as Major Future.

Paperback: 234 pages
Product Dimensions: 9 x 6 x 0.5 inches
List price: $14.00

Check out Future Tense: The Golden Age Volume 5 here and here.

Congratulations on another winner, Jeff. This was a fun read.

A HALLOWEEN TEASE...

Cover Art: Jamie ChaseWas asked to share the first line from my work in progress. From Alexandra Holzer’s Ghost Gal: A Haunting We Will Go…

Something bad was coming. She wasn't sure how, but Alexandra Holzer sensed the disturbance before it happened. The hairs on the back of her neck stood on end and her skin prickled as though exposed to a soft electric current, a curious sensation.

More to follow.

The Domino Lady AudioBookby Lars Anderson
Back in 1936, an obscure New Orleans pulp writer named Lars Anderson created a remarkable character for an even more obscure girlie magazine, Saucy Romantic Adventures. She is the slinky sleuth celebrated today as one of the rare pioneering pulp heroines of the Great Depression, the Domino Lady! Clad in a shimmering evening gown, a black domino mask offsetting her golden blonde hair, daring socialite Ellen Patrick takes the trail to crime, motivated by the murder of her father, District Attorney Owen Patrick. Since the Hollywood beauty suspects that a powerful state political machine was responsible for her father’s assassination, she targets high-society crime exclusively, hoping to bag a big shot. In the tradition of pulp heroes of that era, she left behind her calling card, which read Compliments of the Domino Lady. That famous masked protector of Old California, Zorro, would have recognized her M. O. instantly. Ellen packed an automatic, a hypodermic loaded with knockout serum, and her feminine wiles as she plunges into the social webs of extortion and murder, often teaming up with up-and-coming private investigator Roge McKane, more frequently tangling with suave big-game hunter turned blackmailer, Rob Wyatt, who is her recurring Nemesis. Or is it the other way around?  The self-described “young avenger” appeared in every issue of Saucy Romantic Adventures until it folded with the October, 1936 issue, popping up in Hollywood, San Francisco, and on the high seas, in her pursuit of swift justice. A month later, glorified by a stunning Norman Saunders cover, she made her final bow in “The Domino Lady Double,” for the November, 1936 Mystery Adventure Magazine, where she matches wits with an equally gorgeous impostor. The Domino Lady faded from the pulp scene, but was not forgotten. Fondly remembered by fans of the genre, she has been revived in new stories for a new century. And how she appears in her first audiobook. Nick Santa Maria strains his masculine vocal chords to bring the saucy superheroine to life.
Look for this one in the next few weeks.Domino Lady "Money Shot" a novel by Bobby Nash is coming any day now. Learn more about pre-ordering this novel here.

BOLDLY GOING...

Not from their first episode, but these are my favorite TNG-era Starfleet uniforms.In news that makes me feel old...

27 years ago today on September 28, 1987, Star Trek: The Next Generation premiered! The series continues to live long and prosper on DVD and syndication. I have been fortunate enough to meet most of this cast over the years at conventions. There is a genuine affection you can feel between this group. They're always fun to watch on stage.

Happy Anniversary!
