PULP OBSCURA DEBUTS FIRST FULL LENGTH DIGEST NOVEL-THE NEW ADVENTURES OF IM ANTHONY, SUPER-DETECTIVE!

Pro Se

In 2012, Pro Se Productions, an independent publisher of Genre Fiction and New Pulp, launched an exciting new imprint in conjunction with Altus Press, the leading publisher in reprinting Classic Pulp Fiction. PULP OBSCURA focused on producing new stories featuring classic characters from Pulp’s Golden Age, often overlooked and forgotten since they were originally published.

The eighth PULP OBSCURA title debuts this week and it is a milestone for the imprint, usually known for its anthologies.  This latest release is the line’s first full-length digest novel.  

THE NEW ADVENTURES OF JIM ANTHONY, SUPER-DETECTIVE: THE DEATH'S HEAD CLOUD by noted Author Joshua Reynolds introduces the latest new tale featuring one of Pulp’s most unique obscure characters! 

Originally written by such greats as Robert Leslie Bellem, W. T. Ballard, and Victor Rousseau Emanuel, Anthony was a 'half Irish, Half Indian, and All-American' Adventurer who inherited great wealth and has amazing mental and physical abilities. Scholar, businessman, scientist, criminologist, inventor-Jim Anthony is prepared to face any danger, solve any mystery and overcome any challenge in his battle for justice! 

 In ‘The Death’s Head Cloud,” a smothering fog of doom heralds a terror that leaves a pile of bloody corpses in a busy subway station! The Death's Head Cloud strikes swiftly, snaring innocents in its foul grip, leaving madness and death in its wake! Will Jim Anthony be able to solve this mystery or will he also succumb to this terrible menace? 

“Jim Anthony,” Tommy Hancock, Partner in and Editor-in-Chief of Pro Se Productions says, “is a character that is fairly familiar to hardcore fans of Classic Hero Pulp Fiction, but not so much beyond that.  He was in some ways an attempt to clone more successful characters of the period, but in that attempt to garner success without outright copying a character, some extremely quirky, unique characteristics were mixed into both Jim himself and his stories as a whole, really making him stand out as his own character.  In his previous tales featuring Jim, Josh captured the great over the top feel of Anthony’s world and when he and I discussed bringing him as a creator into the PULP OBSCURA line, the fact that we had an Anthony volume planned seemed like a perfect fit.”

Joshua Reynolds, known for previous works featuring this classic Pulp Character, breathes new life into Jim Anthony in this PULP OBSCURA release. Reynolds is a professional freelance writer. In addition to his own work, he has written for several tie-in franchises, including Gold Eagle's Executioner line and Black Library's Warhammer Fantasy line. Josh has also written several stories previously for Pro Se Productions as well as writing both Anthony tales and other stories for numerous New Pulp and Genre Fiction publishers.  

From out of the Past the Super-Detective Returns in a Bold New Adventure As He Fights a Deadly Menace that Lurks in the Very Air We Breathe! 

Featuring a stunning cover by Mike Fyles, THE NEW ADVENTURES OF JIM ANTHONY, SUPER-DETECTIVE delivers mystery, action, and Pulp with both fists and barrels! From Pro Se Productions and Pulp Obscura!

THE NEW ADVENTURES OF JIM ANTHONY, SUPER-DETECTIVE: THE DEATH’S HEAD CLOUD is available now in Print for $9.00 via Amazon at http://tinyurl.com/k55wpan and via Pro Se’s own Createspace store at https://www.createspace.com/4428238.  The title is also available as an Ebook for $2.99 for your Kindle at http://tinyurl.com/m5k3orj, on the Nook at http://tinyurl.com/lckxb2m, and for most formats at http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/354430.

About the Book:

The Bloody Curse of the Vampire!

Years ago Gideon Synn tried to save Faith Bloodstone from a deadly family curse in upstate New York. He failed and Faith died at the hands of a mysterious blood drinking fiend.  Synn ran from his failure and became a world traveler, joining the French Foreign Legion and eventually becoming a mercenary in China.

Now, years later he has opened a security firm with his sister Kathy. Charity Bloodstone, Faith’s younger sister, comes to him for help against the same curse—the supposed vampire ghost of her ancestor, Justice Bloodstone! According to legend, Charity has only one week to live!

Several people have been killed by what appears to be the undead Justice in ways that suggest a supernatural cause. The Synn siblings are drawn into a whirlwind of terror and evil as the mystery of the vampire murders comes closer and closer to fulfilling the curse.

Has Gideon found love with Charity only to lose her to dark forces? Who are the armed thugs that have attacked the siblings? Can Kathy Synn keep her brother out of trouble long enough to solve the mystery of the Bloodstone Confidential?

NOTED AUTHOR BRINGS HOLLOW EARTH SERIES TO PRO SE IN 2014!

Pro Se

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRO SE PRODUCTIONS AND NOTED URBAN FANTASY AUTHOR

DEBUT HOLLOW EARTH SERIES IN 2014

Pro Se Logo Square Bar.jpg

Known for cutting edge Genre titles and breathing new life into Pulp Fiction, Pro Se Productions proudly announces a new series debuting in 2014 written by one of the new exciting voices of Urban Fantasy.  Author James R. Tuck’s CHAMPIONS OF HOLLOW EARTH  is packed with action as well as being solidly rooted in a longstanding Pulp tradition.

“CHAMPIONS OF HOLLOW EARTH,” according to Tuck, “is a series of four novels and a companion multi-author anthology chronicling the struggle to survive in Hyperborea, a land that exists inside a Hollow Earth. It is a war-torn place where humans fight to survive against the unstoppable Kurg, a race of Nazi Lizard men, and their bloodthirsty, genocidal Reptile Reich.”

JamesRTuck author photo 2013.jpg

James R. Tuck is a multi-published author, owner of Family Tradition Tattoo in Marietta, Ga, and photographer under the name Von Tuck.  He lives in the Atlanta area with his lovely wife, a cool son, a terrific daughter, and four kooky dogs. His work includes the DEACON CHALK series (Kensington Books) and the CHAMPIONS OF HOLLOW EARTH series (Pro Se Press forthcoming 2014) as well as being the editor of the Sword and Sorcery double anthology THUNDER ON THE BATTLEFIELD Volumes 1 and 2 (Seventh Star Press). His short fiction has appeared and will appear in several anthologies such as: THUNDER ON THE BATTLEFIELD Volumes 1 and 2 (Seventh Star Press), ONE BUCK ZOMBIES (One Buck Horror), THE BIG BAD (Dark Oak Press), HOOKERPUNK (Dark Oak Press forthcoming), ROBOT STORIES (Mechanoid Press forthcoming), and BADLANDS:TROUBLE IN THE HEARTLAND (Zelmer Pulp forthcoming).

As this multi-book epic unfolds, only the final spell of Hyperborea's greatest wizard offers a glimmer of hope. His dying breath calls to Hollow Earth a Champion, one man or woman plucked from all of Time and Space who can defeat the Kurg and save Hollow Earth!

Now his daughter travels through a world whose very nature has been transformed, seeking out the Others, all possible Champions, who have been pulled into Hollow Earth. To honor her father's sacrifice and save her homeland she will find the one true Champion.  No matter the cost.

The series consists currently of five planned titles.  Tuck will author the first, WELCOME TO HOLLOW EARTH due out in early 2014, as well as the second, third, and fifth books. The fourth book will be anthology set in Tuck’s fantasy empire beneath the ground featuring multiple writers.

“There’s a couple of great things,” states Tommy Hancock, Partner in and Editor in Chief of Pro Se Productions, “that excite me about this series.  First, the whole hollow earth concept has deep roots in Pulp Fiction and even before.  To see someone tackle that with enthusiasm as well as a bend toward modern fantasy tickles me to death.  The other fantastic aspect is the man behind it.  Tuck brings a ferocious passion to anything he does and this project definitely has his imagination captured.  This will be a New Pulp classic out of the gate.”

CHAMPIONS OF HOLLOW EARTH erupts in 2014 from James R. Tuck and Pro Se Productions! Anyone can fall into Hollow Earth!

PRO SE PRESENTS: THE PODCAST-EPISODE SEVEN- J. WALT LAYNE SPENDS 'A WEEK IN HELL'!

Pro Se

This week, PRO SE PRESENTS: THE PODCAST introduces Pro Se Fans to Author J. Walt Layne and his debut Pro Se novel,  A WEEK IN HELL, the first novel in the Champion City Series.  Listen and learn about Layne's background, influences, the true life inspiration for Champion City, and his love for pulp crime and the slangy jargon and tough bitten characters that go with it.  Tommy Hancock acts as tour guide as PRO SE PRESENTS: THE PODCAST vacations in Champion City with J. Walt Layne for  A WEEK IN HELL!

'A WEEK IN HELL'-CRIME PULP BY J. WALT LAYNE- DEBUTS FROM PRO SE!

Pro Se

Pro Se Productions continues its tradition of providing the best in New Pulp and Genre Fiction with its latest release- A WEEK IN HELL, the First volume in the Champion City digest novel series by author J. Walt Layne!

"Crime stories," Tommy Hancock, Partner in and Editor-in-Chief of Pro Se, comments, "have always been an essential part of Pulp Fiction.  It's a genre not restricted by time periods or certain story conventions.  Crime is Crime and Crime is everywhere.  What J. Walt Layne does in  A WEEK IN HELL is tell a tale of crime and murder in a very tried and true style, reminiscent of paperbacks of the 1950s.  It's two fisted, it comes at you guns blazing, and doesn't ask for permission or forgiveness."

Welcome to Champion City. A megatropolis it isn’t. But you couldn’t arrive at that conclusion by looking at the police blotter.  Most everyone in the city would tell you that a day in Champion is like… A WEEK IN HELL.

It all starts with a girl and a bag of cash. Candi was the kind of gal who could give a guy indigestion. She was poison, with looks to kill, a reluctant moll looking for a way out. Thurman was a young flatfoot, not necessarily the knight in shining armor. He went to shake out a brawl and nearly fed her his gun, was it any wonder he got a date? They spend an evening on the run, but where does it lead? Just when it looks like its over, BOOM! Is it a dead girl, a bag of somebody else’s dough, or both?

"Writing A WEEK IN HELL," says Layne, "was a chance for me as a writer to try and give something back to the pulp novels and magazines of yesteryear that I enjoyed reading as a kid when no one was looking. Something about the honest, yet ornery sound of the language. The not so innocent victims, the uncompromising men. The story bigger than the hero can handle, yet coming out on top against all odds. Forty Miles of bad road for the big payoff or the big sleep."

Written in the style of slang ridden, bullet riddled classic crime Pulp and mystery fiction, Layne’s A WEEK IN HELL drops the reader square into all the corruption and corrosion of human spirit that is Champion City.  Dames, gats, gumshoes, and brass cupcakes die, shoot, run and glitter from every page.  Edited by David White and David Brzeski, this book features a beautiful cover by Terry Pavlet with design, logo, and print formatting by Sean Ali and Ebook formatting by Russ Anderson.  A WEEK IN HELL by J. Walt Layne courtesy of Pro Se Productions.

A WEEK IN HELL is available in print for $9.00 from Amazon at http://tinyurl.com/n6meb2q and via Pro Se's createspace store at  https://www.createspace.com/4407054.  This crime thriller is also available as an Ebook for $2.99 for the Kindle at http://tinyurl.com/lsgbvo5   and on the nook from Barnes And Noble at http://tinyurl.com/n5lgkjx and in most digital formats at http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/348511.

The very best familiars are miniature dragons, but they come with a high price and no instructions. Unfortunately there are powerful people who would prefer all magical creatures be registered, regulated, or even eliminated! Bringing a familiar home with her becomes a race against time with a dangerous opponent as this middle aged witch has to find out her new companion's true name before sunrise turns him to stone.

COMPANION DRAGONS TALES VOLUME ONE: A FAMILIAR NAME introduces Pro Se Productions Young Reader Imprint- YoungPulp!

Written in the style of slang ridden, bullet riddled classic crime Pulp and mystery fiction, Layne’s A WEEK IN HELL drops the reader square into all the corruption and corrosion of human spirit that is Champion City.  Dames, gats, gumshoes, and brass cupcakes die, shoot, run and glitter from every page.  Edited by David White and David Brzeski, this book features a beautiful cover by Terry Pavlet with design, logo, and print formatting by Sean Ali and Ebook formatting by Russ Anderson.  A WEEK IN HELL by J. Walt Layne courtesy of Pro Se Productions!
