FIGHT CARD: COUNTERPUNCH ~ AVAILABLE NOW!THE LATEST FIGHT CARD NOVEL, COUNTERPUNCH, FROM HARDBOILED AUTHOR WAYNE D. DUNDEE WRITING AS JACK TUNNEY ...
Danny Dugronski has been a fighter all his life.
As an orphan at St. Vincent's Asylum for Boys, he first learned the "sweet science" of boxing from Father Tim, the battling priest. Then the Marine Corps taught him far more lethal fighting tactics before shipping him off to do battle in the hell of the South Pacific.
Now, with World War II over, Danny "The Duke" has returned home and earned a respectable ranking as a regional heavyweight in the Milwaukee area. But his record, free of KO losses, is jeopardized by a mob front man who tries to push him into a series of rigged fights.
When Danny refuses, hard push comes to deadly shove, and he must call upon all his fighting skills to stand his ground. And when Danny comes out swinging, he's determined to put the mob down for the count.

PULP NOW: WINGS OF WAR!
PULP NOW: WINGS OF WAR!F.E. RECHNITZER WRITING AS LT. SCOTT MORGAN
NOW AVAILABLE FROM BLACK DOG BOOKS!
BDB's latest title, Wings of War, collecting the first two novel-length adventures of John Masters, The Lone Eagle, is now available for purchase. Visit our Wings of War listings page to learn more or order your copy today.
Pilot extraordinaire John Masters was an ace operative of the U.S. Secret Service when war broke out. So it was only natural that when the first squadron of Yank flyers went to France to strafe the Boche, Masters went too, only operating undercover.
Masters became the Lone Eagle of the Skies, displaying an indomitable courage and dynamic driving power to push any secret mission to a successful conclusion; a fighting ace whose dark and inscrutable movements became the scourge of all enemy powers.
Suspected by many, some men feared him, some men hated him. The alluring but deadly female German spy R-47 may have loved him. Masters became that mysterious Nemesis of the Western Front known only as The Lone Eagle!
"John Masters blasts his way across the skies in the kind of aerial action that will thrill modern readers as much as it did the pulp readers of the '30s. The Lone Eagle is a hero for the ages!" – Bill Crider, contributing author to the Nick Carter and Stone: M.I.A. Hunter series
"In the 1930s, the Lone Eagle set the bar for realistic action adventure with a tough guy loner able to survive against all comers. John Masters blazed a bullet-strewn path that series heroes of the 1970s and 1980s were hard pressed to follow." – Mel Odom, contributing author to the SuperBolan, Stonyman and Executioner series
"Combat ace John Masters was one of the most realistic air heroes of the pulp era. It's about damn time these bullet-torn tales were reprinted!" – Will Murray, contributing author to the Destroyer series
"Great fun!" – Stephen Mertz, contributing author to the Executioner, Tunnel Rats and Cody's Army series

PULP NOW: BLOD AND TACOS!
PULP NOW: BLOOD AND TACOS!There was a time when paperback racks were full of men's adventure series. Next to the Louis L'Amours, one could find the adventures of The Executioner, the Destroyer, the Death Merchant, and many more action heroes that were hell-bent on bringing America back from the brink. That time was the 1970s and '80s. A bygone era filled with wide-eyed innocence and mustaches.
Those stories are back! The new quarterly magazine Blood and Tacos is bringing back the action, the fun, and the adventure. Also, the mustaches.
In each issue of Blood and Tacos, some of today's hottest crime writers will choose an era and create a new pulp hero and deliver a brand-new adventure. Each issue will include 5-6 stories featuring action-packed mayhem written in the style of that bygone era. The stories might not always be politically correct, but whether satire or homage, they will deliver on every page. Fast and fun, action and adventure, Blood and Tacos.
If the stories weren't enough, Blood and Tacos will also feature fine pulpy art, reviews of some of the fine (and not so fine) novels from the same period, and maybe even a recipe or two.
So enjoy this serving of Blood and Tacos. And remember, if it's too cheesy, it's a quesadilla.
Blood and Tacos is the brainchild of Johnny Shaw, screenwriter and author of the novel Dove Season: A Jimmy Veeder Fiasco. When he's not writing or teaching, he is usually in an undisclosed warzone working as the demolitions expert in the mercenary group, The Bushmasters. He also enjoys badminton. His website can be found at Johnnyshaw.net. Or follow him on Twitter at @BloodandTacos.
Blood and Tacos is published by Creative Guy Publishing, the company that brought you such fine books as Amityville House of Pancakes (Vols 1-3), Stays Crunchy in Milk, Installing Linux on a Dead Badger, Brine, and many others with odd titles but excellent stories.
DOOLAN ON FIGHT CARD!
DOOLAN ON FIGHT CARD!BLOGGER TOM DOOLAN GETS OUT THE FIGHT CARD WORD ON HIS BLOG THE WORDS OF TOM …
About a month ago, I got on a kick. I wanted to find some other fight fiction from the Pulp days. So, I did some searches, but really couldn't find anything in the public domain (finances being what they are). Then, on Amazon, I stumbled across the Fight Card books. At the time, the first two were free, so I grabbed them. And I absolutely DO NOT regret that ...
