SUNDAY MUSINGS... OR... WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO THIS WEEK?


Cover Art: Jamie ChaseAnother Sunday comes to a close as the clock passes midnight and Monday morning looms. I'm on a deadline that's due today so I've been spending most of my time of late working on that. Well, that and Ghost Gal promotion. You did hear that it was now available, right?

Once I finish up this project, which I can't really discuss at the moment, I'll play catch up on some items that I've fallen behind on. This week, I'll send out June's Nash News email newsletter. If you'd like to get on the mailing list, it's easy. Just drop me a line at bobby@bobbynash.com and let me know you'd like to get a copy and I'll add your email to the list. It's that easy.

My writing view when deadlines loomAlso on tap is the long overdue wrap up for Alabama Phoenix Festival. I had a great time, but there's a lot to say and photos to share. Look for that soon. Also on tap is the next installment of Sometimes I Get Asked Stuff... Oh, yeah. As always, I appreciate the questions. Please keep them coming.

Somewhere in there I'll probably do some writing too.  :)

It's going to be a great week. Please check back soon.

Bobby

Here's the press release from when Ghost Gal was originally announced.
For Immediate ReleaseRAVEN’S HEAD  PRESSContact: Michael HudsonPH: 727-364-3068
unused coverRAVEN’S HEAD PRESS AND NOTED AUTHOR BOBBY NASH JOIN WITH AUTHOR AND GHOST HUNTER ALEXANDRA HOLZER TO DEBUT GHOST GAL PROSE SERIES
Raven's Head Press is proud to announce an exciting new series debuting in 2014.Noted author Bobby Nash and Raven Head Press’ Michael Hudson have agreed to develop Author and Ghost Hunter, Alexandra Holzer’s GHOST GAL as a fictional series of novels based on her exploits as a budding parapsychologist.
“GHOST GAL is neo pulp with a touch of gothic romance.”  says publisher Michael Hudson.  “We’re setting the series in the late 1950’s to early 1960’s to take advantage of the post World War II paranoia that was present as America was undergoing the McCarthy witch hunts, the fear of the atomic bomb, and the numerous representations of the alien invader that characterized the late twentieth century perceptions of 1950’s America.  Ghost hunters were plentiful but only one stood head and shoulders above all the rest. His name was Hans Holzer, the creator of the Holzer Method. This series centers around his headstrong but lovable daughter, Alexandra, who after college has just hung out her shingle to follow in her famed father’s footsteps as a paranormal investigator.  Of course this leads her into adventures far beyond the realm of belief. But how she solves various mysteries along with the help of her beloved father, mother and fiancé will provide plenty of chills, thrills and a treasure trove of character development. You are going to care about these characters. “
“Alexandra and I have been talking about this project for several years now and the time is ripe to tell her story.  She will be writing a “true case file” as a foreword to each book in the series as well as working hand in hand with Bobby and me to develop these wonderful characters. We could not be happier in having Bobby Nash, the winner of Pulp Ark’s 2013 Best Author Award, as the one to helm this series. As Bobby and I discussed the premise or the series we found ourselves finishing each other’s sentences. For me this was a very good thing indeed. We know exactly who these characters are. It won’t be long before you will too!”
Alexandra Holzer says, “I was blessed with a truly unique, zany, and remarkable life story – one that I first depicted in my book Growing Up Haunted.  Can you imagine being raised as a little girl in Manhattan, living with a Ghost Hunter dad that spoke like Count Dracula, and an actual Russian Countess for a mother? I am convinced that no one else in the world has a life story similar to mine. My stories of the paranormal make for compelling tales, and I’m delighted that Raven’s Head Press has partnered with me to develop this new book series. I am not only excited but passionate about the GHOST GAL series, because much of her is who I am. She's family. Joining the “Ghost Gal Family” are two amazingly talented men who brilliantly embody neo-graphic tales both in writing and in depicting art to its fullest. It's pretty neat and humbling, to be immortalized in pen and
Back Coverink!"
Bobby Nash had this to say about the new series. “When Raven’s Head Press head honcho, Michael Hudson first mentioned the idea behind Ghost Gal to me, I was hooked. By the end of our initial discussion, it was clear that we were on the same wavelength and the ideas began to flow. I love it when that happens.”
“I was honored when Michael and Alexandra Holzer entrusted me with helping to sculpt the amazing world of GHOST GAL. I hope our readers have as much fun with this one as I’m having writing it.”

CELEBRATING 32 YEARS OF "KHANNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!"

Today we celebrate 32 years of screaming, "KHANNNNNNNNNNN!!!"

That's right. Happy Anniversary, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. This is one of my all time favorite movies. If I ever run across it on TV, no matter how many times I've seen it before, I will sit down and watch. It's just that good. Last year, I was able to see it on the big screen for the first time thanks to the Retro Cinema showing at Movie Tavern. I believe they're showing it again this year. I might just have to see it again.


Not only is Wrath of Khan a fun action/adventure movie, it also blends in social allegory, which the original Star Trek TV series did oh so very well. In this case, it's the crew dealing with aging. At the time they were considered a bit too old to be action heroes. After Wrath of Khan, older action heroes were back in fashion. As I begin the countdown to my 43rd birthday (stops, does math, curses-- how the hell am I turning 43?) I see things in this movie a little differently than when I was a kid. Another sign of a good movie. It has layers.


The real trick today is going to be avoiding the temptation to watch the movie and focus on writing. I guess that means I'll spend the day quoting the movie instead.


My favorite line? There are so many good ones in this movie, but this one is one I really like.
"You've managed to kill just about everyone else, but like a poor marksman, you keep missing the target."

My favorite exchange, however, is this one.
Keep Boldly Going!

Bobby
