FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
In January 2015 Pro Se Productions licensed the character of Big Daddy Cool Johnny Dellarocca, the time traveling gangster/magician alter ego of performer and convention personality John Pyka. The publisher of innovative genre fiction today announces the first volume in The World of Big Daddy Cool imprint, written by the character’s creator. Tales From The Flip-Side: The Adventures of Big Daddy Cool and the Bombshell Kittens by John Pyka is now available in print and digital format.
“Pro Se,” says Tommy Hancock, Editor in Chief of Pro Se Productions, “is known for pushing boundaries and doing things that might make people raise an eyebrow. The licensing of Big Daddy Cool, as well as other characters by real life performers, is maybe one of those moves, but it’s something more. It’s a way to open up readers and fans to great stories being told that, were it not for Pro Se, may never see the page of a book. John Pyka has lived and breathed The World of Big Daddy Cool for years, peopling it with over the top heroes, evil to the heart villains, and mashing genres together like nobody’s business. It makes perfect sense for Pro Se Productions to turn that into an imprint. And there is absolutely no better way to kick this off then with Tales from the Flip-Side, written by the zoot suited Pyka himself. This book is a ride, hepcats and kittens, a wild, far out ride.”
