“The Hanged Man,” says Tommy Hancock, Editor in Chief of and Partner in Pro Se, “is cut from a very interesting and classic cloth.  He is the damned hero, a man who through no fault of his own loses his life and suddenly burns with such a need for vengeance that death not only can’t hold him, but some higher power makes use of him.  And setting this in medieval times, Mark has created a world wrapped in a whole different shade of dark than we usually see.  The Hanged Man is both troubled and determined, tragic and heroic.  And that makes for good pulpy horror action.”

Tales of the Hanged Man tells the story of William Rhys, accused of a crime and hung by the Lord of the land.  Three days later, he came back to life.   Now, cloaked in his burial shroud and back from the dead, William Rhys stalks the land as the dreaded Hanged Man.  The hangman's rope that took his life is now his weapon of vengeance as he hunts the wicked and evil in medieval Britain.  

When an innkeeper and his wife are accused of murdering villagers in a remote settlement and hung by an angry mob for these crimes, their souls cry out for vengeance.  And the Hanged Man hears them.  A hero with a secret faces judgment at the end of the Hanged Man’s rope, but what is real horror behind the disappearances and death? The Hanged Man discovers truly monstrous evil in The Hundred Bones, the debut short story in Mark Gelineau’s Tales of the Hanged Man, a Pro Se Single Shot Signature series from Pro Se Productions.

Tales of the Hanged Man: The Hundred Bones features chilling cover art and logo design by Jeff Hayes and eBook formatting by Russ Anderson.   The first issue of the latest Pro Se Single Shot Signature Series is available for the Kindle via Amazon at http://tinyurl.com/pyv58so and for most eBook formats at www.smashwords.com for only 99 cents.

Rick not only shows his creativity and deft skill at constructing a multifaceted mystery through these books, but he pays homage to some of the best characters and authors in the Private Eye genre.  Having said that, Logan also leaves his own indelible mark, handling what comes at him in his own explosive way.  Four in the Chamber is the first four books in the series and they’ll leave you on the edge of your seat guaranteed.”

Four in the Chamber features the first four John Logan thrillers-

SURVIVOR’S AFFAIR

John Logan has left his life in the intelligence community behind, eking out a meager living as a private investigator and trying to stay off the espionage radar. But keeping a low profile proves harder than he thought when Coral Bay's millionaire Golden Boy ends up on the wrong side of a Samurai sword and his former mentor's wayward daughter the number one suspect. Finding himself honor bound, Logan is forced to join the hunt for the real killer.

THE AFFAIRS OF MEN

Private Investigator John Logan has always been haunted by the tragic mission years before that took the lives of his black-ops team. But when he sees one of his former teammates alive in downtown Coral Bay, with a luscious woman by his side, and a horde of Russian hit men on his tail…Logan realizes that there was more to the ill-fated mission than he originally believed. As the danger rises, Logan will be forced to visit those places he had sworn off forever, dark shadows of his heart not seen since the death of his beloved Shikira.

   THE SHELTERING TREE

Mason Killian lies in critical condition, the victim of a drive by hit. With his best friend fighting for his life, John Logan is determined to unravel who is responsible. To find justice for his friend, Logan must do the unthinkable: he must dig into Killian's life and open things that Killian has kept forever closed.  What he finds will lead Logan into a web of deceit, betrayal, and murder, and could jeopardize his friendship with the man who has been his brother in arms for twenty years.

INTO THE MAGIC NIGHT

When a beautiful exotic dancer asks John Logan for help he is all too willing to help. But she's scared and before she can meet with Logan to tell him her problem, she's dead and Logan is left with more questions than answers. Who was she and why was she so scared? His digging will put Logan into the seedier side of Coral Bay and get him involved with a ruthless businessman, a venture capitalist, and could put him at odds with one of Logan's dearest friends.

John Logan: Four in the Chamber features fantastic cover art and logo design by Jeff Hayes and print formatting by David Foster.  The omnibus is now available at Amazon at http://tinyurl.com/o6rju79 and at Pro Se’s own store at http://tinyurl.com/orm97u3 for $24.00.

Pro Se Productions, a publisher dedicated to bring the best in Genre Fiction to readers, announces the release of the second omnibus featuring three collected adventures of one of modern fiction’s best heroes.  Author Nicholas Boving’s Maxim Gunn: Four, Five, Six is now available in print and soon to be available as an ebook.

Buy on Amazon

“It’s really neat,” says Editor in Chief of Pro Se Productions Tommy Hancock, “that there are some characters created in the last few years that are destined to be remembered as ‘classic’ characters in what many refer to as The Pulp Renaissance.  Maxim Gunn is one of those.  Even if you don’t know what New Pulp is and just enjoy fantastic genre fiction that seamlessly blends espionage and the occult into an over the top story, then Nicholas Boving’s Maxim Gunn series is for you.  And the fact that not only does the publication of Maxim Gunn: Four, Five, Six now get all of the existing novels into newly edited Pro Se editions, but it also means that we can now get to publishing Gunn’s newest adventures.”

Suave, hard, devil-may-care, an ex-agent, the best that ever was.  A man who takes on the dark realms, the hidden corners, the places where things lurk, things that live only in our imaginations, things that just should not be. A man who walks into trouble and says, “Into battle, murder and sudden death, good Lord, deliver me, right up to the neck.”  A man who doesn’t need a license to kill. A man who is the weapon of last resort. When they’ve run out of options, they call him back. No debates, no hand wringing, just get it done. 

That man is…Maxim Gunn. 

Maxim Gunn: Four, Five, Six is an omnibus collecting the second three previously published novels featuring the larger than life man of intrigue created by Nicholas Boving. Presented in this special edition by Pro Se Productions, this omnibus is the second of two, marking Pro Se as the new home for Boving’s modern Pulp hero. Thrill as if it were the first time to The Stolen Waters, The Sun Fortress, and The Leopard Legion, all in one collection.  

This three book omnibus features atmospheric cover art by Adam Shaw, logo design by Sean Ali, and print formatting by Percival Constantine. Maxim Gunn: Four, Five, Six is available at Amazon at http://tinyurl.com/olcxjnn and at Pro Se’s own store at http://tinyurl.com/namq5qa for $20.00.

HIGH FANTASY AND ACTION AND ADVENTURE DEBUT IN LATEST PRO SE SINGLE SHOT SIGNATURE SERIES-LOGAN L. MASTERSON'S CANTICLE OF ORDRASS: THE WHEEL OF THE YEAR- SAMHAIN

Known for bringing the best in Genre Fiction today to readers, Pro Se Productions announces the debut of a high fantasy series with a definitely Pulp like pacing as a part of its Pro Se Single Shot Signature line. Ravencroft Springs Author Logan L. Masterson introduces a unique innovative world of fantasy and magic with the release of Canticle of Ordrass: The Wheel of the Year-Samhain , the first chapter in Masterson’s epic series of interconnected short stories.  

Buy on Amazon

“Logan L. Masterson,” says Tommy Hancock, Partner in and Editor in Chief of Pro Se Productions, “is simply one of the best writers of Genre Fiction working today.  Not only does he have a meticulous knowledge and caring for how to write, but his ability to walk the finest of lines as an author is amazing.  Samhain is the doorway into a series that can only be referred to as ‘high fantasy’, complete with politics, religion, warring races, and more than enough to keep any Martin or Tolkien fan happy. Also, though, Logan writes in such a crisp, sharply paced voice that readers who enjoy the pulpiness of Howard and other such fantasy writers will more than get what they like out of this tale.  That’s the line Masterson walks and he does it with a skill so very few have.”

When Davia Mollari, a young woman from a distant land, is called to an ancient temple, new vistas of friendship, hope and spirituality open before her, even as inquisitors from her homeland close in. Guided by priestesses of an ancient religion, defended by the Royal Rangers, and hand-in-hand with her two fellow postulants, Davia will face the demons of fear and loss. But as she rises to accept a purposeful new life, the servants of Kruss make plain just how far they're willing to go to put an end to her heretical bloodline. 

Canticle of Ordrass: The Wheel of the Year-Samhain is the debut short story in Logan L. Masterson's Pro Se Single Shot Signature series from Pro Se Productions.

“Writing Samhain,” says Masterson, “and planning the rest of the Wheel of the Year Cycle has been a tremendous challenge, but rewarding beyond measure. The themes of the work have required some delicacy, and finding room for so many characters took a lot of precision. Then there's the balance of action/adventure fantasy with character-driven plot. I feel like it all comes together pretty well, and Samhain (pronounced 'Sowen') is definitely a project of which I can be proud.”

Canticle of Ordrass: The Wheel of the Year-Samhain  features evocative cover art and logo design by Jeff Hayes and eBook formatting by Russ Anderson.  The series’ debut short story is available for the Kindle via Amazon at http://tinyurl.com/leqwnjj and for most eBook formats at www.smashwords.com for only 99 cents.

PRO SE PRODUCTIONS SIGNS AUTHOR LINDA DELEON FOR SUPERNATURAL WESTERN SERIES - ‘REAPER’ TO DEBUT IN 2015.

An innovative Publisher of Genre Fiction, Pro Se Productions announces today the signing of an author bringing her own unique take on the very popular Weird Western Genre with her.  Pro Se Productions proudly adds Linda DeLeon to its team of top notch creators and welcomes her series, Reaper, to Pro Se’s impressive line up of novels and works.

Linda DeLeon, author of the upcoming series' Reaper' from Pro Se Productions

“Pro Se,” says Tommy Hancock, Partner in and Editor in Chief of Pro Se Productions, “is always on the lookout for the best talent and great stories.  And when someone with the storytelling ability of Linda DeLeon not only crosses your path, but does so with a fantastic idea already in the works ready made for what we do, that’s even better.  Reaper takes Pro Se firmly into a type of story- the so called Weird Western- in a novel length, where our previous dips in that pond were in the short story format.  But Reaper, without giving too much away, is a twist all its own.  The central character is the ‘weird’ aspect of the tale, but Linda’s treatment of him is not that way.  He’s a man who is on a mission of vengeance and salvation and happens to be a man dealing with different issues than most around him.  The fact that the concept is presented as a Western in this way makes it stand out all on its own.  Everyone will read to find out just why anyone should fear Reaper.”

Linda DeLeon was born in Richland Parish, Louisiana. When she was nine years old, she moved to Vicksburg, MS. She now lives in Dallas with her husband, Rene. Her son, Cody, lives in MS and is currently attending Hinds CC and working toward a career in medicine. She works as a nurse in the emergency room. Taking a dare from a co-worker, she began to write. With the encouragement of her fellow nurses, their entertainment became her obsession. With writing, she could combine her love of history and her deep fascination with vampires. Her endeavors resulted in FALL INTO DARKNESS and VEIL OF TIME.

In March, 2014, her first short story, DEDILESS, was published in the anthology, SOUTHERN HAUNTS- DEVILS IN THE DARKNESS. Since then, she has contributed to other anthologies that will be released in 2015. Presently, she is working on the first in a series of books to be published by Pro Se Productions.

Her email is ldeleonbooks@yahoo.com and her website is www.ldeleonbooks.com.

The first Reaper novel is scheduled for release in 2015, with additional books to follow.

JAMES PALMER’S OCCULT PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR HANGS SHINGLE AT PRO SE PRODUCTIONS- OPEN CALL FOR ‘ELDRITCH FOR HIRE’ DIGEST ANTHOLOGY

Known as an innovator in Genre Fiction, Pro Se Productions prides itself on searching out  properties that belong in the publisher’s already stellar lineup of titles. Often those concepts come from writers already familiar to Pro Se and its readers.  Author James Palmer’s Sam Eldritch appeared in an issue of Pro Se Presents, Pro Se’s now discontinued magazine, and left his mark on the fiction world.  And now, Pro Se Productions announces an open call for submissions as Sam returns to Pro Se in Eldritch for Hire, a digest anthology.

“What makes Sam Eldritch stand out,” says Tommy Hancock, “is more about how James writes it and envisions the storytelling.  Not only is Sam a master of the comeback, but the entire world in which he lives is set on high wit and sarcasm.  The monsters are scary, the mysteries need to be solid, but even with that Sam is that unique character who doesn’t take himself too seriously, yet plays as hard boiled as well as he does humorous and supernatural.  Eldritch will be right at home with Pro Se and we’re glad to have a character like Sam from a fantastically talented creator like James Palmer.

Sam Eldritch, Occult Investigator for Hire, is witty, offbeat period pulp about a different kind of gumshoe, a guy who trades insults with gangsters as easily as he faces down tentacled horrors from beyond space-time. Sam’s ultimate goal is to track down the demon that killed his partner and gave him second sight. He hopes that he’ll not only have his revenge but a few answers about himself.  Sam Eldritch is Dashiell Hammett meets H.P. Lovecraft on the mean streets of New York City. Anything goes. Vampires. Ghosts. Cthulhu-inspired horrors.

“Sam Eldritch,” says Palmer, “is my favorite character I have created, and I'm excited about turning him over to other writers. Pro Se is a leader in the New Pulp field, and regularly publishes attractive books and e-books, so I am thrilled to have found a home for Sam with them.”

James Palmer is an author and editor who has written for Pro Se Productions, Airship 27, and White Rocket Books. James is also the man behind Mechanoid Press, a New Pulp Publisher. He edited (with Jim Beard) the giant monster anthology Monster Earth and its sequel as well as the weird western anthology Strange Trails. His work appears in Gideon Cain: Demon Hunter, Blackthorn: Thunder on Mars, and Mars McCoy: Space Ranger Vol. 2. as well as various issues of Pro Se Presents and a collection of his short stories, published by his own Mechanoid Press. He is also the author of Slow Djinn, a Sam Eldritch ebook. A recovering comic book addict, James lives in Northeast Georgia with his wife and daughter.

Stories for Eldritch for Hire must be 10,000 words in length. A query showing interest is necessary. At that point, reference material for this project will be sent to the writers interested. If those authors choose to submit, a proposal of 100-500 words must be submitted to submissions@prose-press.com. Authors not previously published by Pro Se Productions must submit a writing sample of at least two pages with their proposals. Authors whose proposals are accepted must submit the first four pages of their accepted stories as quickly as possible for review by Pro Se staff. Final deadline for completed stories is 90 days following acceptance of proposals. 

Eldritch for Hire is scheduled for publication in 2015 by Pro Se Productions.

If you have any questions concerning this submissions call, please contact Morgan McKay, Pro Se’s Director of Corporate Operations at DirectorofCorporateOperations@prose-press.com.  For more information on Pro Se, go to www.prose-press.com and like Pro Se on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ProSeProductions.

David takes readers on a journey that not only transcends dimensions, but also turns a few well accepted myths on their respective ears.”


It's been a rough year for MaGee since his defeat of the Hell Knight, one that has found him going into business for himself. And one client comes in that might be the death of him, or the death of anyone else. Recruited to find an old friend lost and tricked by his own kind, MaGee finds himself fighting evil on the streets of Chicago and in the fields of Asgard. Can a wingless angel who enjoys his scotch survive one of the most classic mythological family feuds of all time and return the lightning to its rightful owner? Find out in David White's MaGee: The Thundering Monk.

FLYING FROM THE PAGES OF ‘BLACK PULP’ TO HIS OWN NOVEL- “ROCKET CROCKETT AND THE SHANGHAI SHE-DEVIL’

In April 2013, Pro Se Productions, an innovative Publisher of Genre Fiction, released Black Pulp, a groundbreaking bestselling collection of tales from a variety of authors.  While each story was cast in the classic Pulp mold in many ways, the characters were original and many pushed boundaries of the conventions they represented.  Pro Se proudly announces that one of the most popular characters from the anthology debuts today in his own digest novel.  Take to the skies once again with the smoothest wing jockey ever in Christopher Chamber’s Rocket Crockett and The Shanghai She-Devil.

“Lightning in a bottle,” says Pro Se Productions Editor in Chief Tommy Hancock, “is really cool when it happens for Pro Se.  And that describes the sensation that is Rocket Crockett.  Christopher Chambers can not only tell a rollicking Pulp tale, replete with action, adventure, bullets, and punches, but he does it in a style all his own.  Simultaneously this novel evokes the over the top roller coaster rides that epitomize Classic Pulp and carries a resonance that rings loud and clear with modern readers.”

Dusky derring-doer and Korean War jet jockey Lt. Rufus "Rocket" Crockett has thwarted a plot to flood America with a new species of heroin. But he has offended a terrifying, irresistible enemy: the Shanghai She-Devil. Her recompense? His flesh, his very soul. In this homage to 1950s pulp, our hero battles gangsters on the streets of Harlem, assassins in the High Sierras, and MiGs in the skies over the South China Sea toward his showdown with an ancient evil! Author Christopher Chambers’ high flying hero takes to the skies once more in Rocket Crockett and the Shanghai She-Devil from Pro Se Productions! 

"I'm proud,” says Chambers, “to dive in the pulp pool after dipping in my toe in it. I hope Rocket's old-school, retro adventures make that pool richer and deeper."

Reviews of Rocket Crockett and the Shanghai She-Devil promise readers a highoctane thrill ride-

"This stew of Cold War adventure, sorcery and post-modern cheek carries echoes of both Quentin Tarantino and Iceberg Slim, but it’s safe to say that Christopher Chambers has found a pulp niche all his own!" 

--Louis Bayard, New Times Bestselling author of "Roosevelt's Beast" and "Mr. Timothy" 

“Strap in, adjust your goggles and get ready for a rip-roaring adventure as Christopher Chambers burns his storytelling jets incandescent in Rocket Crockett and the Shanghai She-Devil.”

“When you think of Pulp heroes,” says Editor in Chief of Pro Se Productions Tommy Hancock, “ a few very distinct images come to mind.  Now, that’s not to say that the classic Pulps weren’t populated by a variety of heroic types, but the ones that have stuck in the collective consciousness fall into the Doc Savage/Shadow/Cowboy mold for the most part.  In First Seas, what Frank does is he takes characters not usually seen in pulp style stories as the leads and the heroes and puts them through their paces.  He takes certain archetypes that have no business being the good guys and shows us why they can be.  Most of all, Frank infuses every story in this collection with a pure, unadulterated fun energy that makes them all worth reading.”

A sea captain fights an ancient evil, a rockabilly musician battles a scorpion the size of a Cadillac, a gangster takes on the spawn of Cthulhu, a French comic wizard takes on evils in the modern world. These are just a few of the thrills and chills you will get in First Seas and Other Tales.

Amazon bestselling author Frank Schildiner’s collection of pulp tales breaks into new ground for this growing genre, telling tales of noble knights in the time of King Henry IV, a Roman nobleman fighting the demons and even a hero from France’s legendary Hexagon Comics Universe taking on terrible monsters who seek to destroy the Earth. Giant scorpions, evil demons, and a bored bureaucrat dealing with fake witches and vampires from Alabama are just a few of the chills and thrills in Frank Schildiner’s First Seas and Other Tales! From Pro Se Productions.

“First Seas and Other Tales,” says Schildiner, “is my attempt to expand the world of pulp and see where I could take my favorite medium. I hope you enjoy what I tried to produce.”

Schildiner’s short story collection features eerily evocative cover art by Adam Shaw and logo design and print formatting by Percival Constantine. First Seas and Other Tales is available at Amazon at http://tinyurl.com/msdv7g5 and at Pro Se’s own store at http://tinyurl.com/k7mrft2 for only $9.00. The book will be available in various digital formats in coming days.

EPIC FANTASY SERIES DEBUTS FROM PRO SE PRODUCTIONS - ‘THE WOLF WARRIORS’ BY KAYLA LARSON

A leading independent publisher of Genre Fiction, Pro Se Productions announces the release of the first volume of a new Fantasy series from debut author Kayla Larson.  Two Forces clash, threatening to destroy one magnificent world, in Larson’s The Wolf Warriors.

Buy on Amazon

“Some believe,” says Tommy Hancock, Partner in and Editor-in-Chief of Pro Se Productions, “that epic fantasy and New Pulp don’t go together.  That Fantasy has to be either savage and barbaric, straight through action and fighting or the higher concept of dealing with politics, of the various forces affecting a world.  What Kayla does with The Wolf Warriors is deftly intermingle the two usually separate types of fantasy.  What is at its core a war with multiple facets, this story is also the very human, very pulpy journey of people integral to what is to come.  Good and Evil boil down to individuals who stand toe-to-toe with destiny in this book and that makes The Wolf Warriors well worth reading.“

The gods are at war, The land of Argethlam is beset by hard times, and Atreyavahl is near collapse because of the assassination of their Queen Viesha a century before. A prophecy tells that the god of darkness, Ardeth Anubace’s Black Wolf will bring the fall of the Inner Kingdom and then Argethlam, leading the world into Ardeth’s rule. But Ramos Ra, the Sire-God, created his own champion, the White Wolf to defeat the Black Wolf and purge the land of Ardeth’s curse.

Mercenary daemon Debello has wandered Argethlam for 100 years with amnesia. He searches for the only clue to his past, a daemon named Vaulx. Once pieces start to come together, Debello soon realizes his forgotten memories were to a life hidden in the Inner Kingdom of Atreyavahl. And that he may indeed be one of the Wolves of the prophecy. But which one? Ardeth’s Black Wolf, a paragon of death and destruction? Or Ra’s White Wolf, the only hope Debello’s world has? Is Debello Life…or Death? Author Kayla Larson brings a new world to stark life surrounded by ever-present death in her debut novel and the first in a series.

The Wolf Warriors features haunting cover art by Anna Podedworna and logo design and print formatting by Percival Constantine. This first volume in the new fantasy series is available at Amazon and at Pro Se’s own store at http://tinyurl.com/l8o97qr for only  $12.00. The book will be available in various digital formats in coming days.

PRO SE PRODUCTIONS SIGNS NEW AUTHOR/ARTIST ELLIE RAINE

Known as an innovative Publisher, Pro Se Productions has garnered a reputation for signing the best and brightest authors and artists in Genre Fiction, from best selling novelists to first time creators.  Today, Pro Se announces signing Ellie Raine, both an author and an artist.

Author/Artist Ellie Raine

“Pro Se,” says Editor in Chief Tommy Hancock, “is always looking for the right people to add to what we are doing.  And it’s always great to find talented authors and artists.  It’s especially fun to find those special few who not only have both skills, but do them both well.  Ellie’s acumen as an artist will be a wonderfully fantastic addition to our already excellent lineup of covers.  Though her work has a fantasy feel to it, her ability to work in various styles is a great asset.  And as a writer, she has the background many of us have- a fan first who realized she has stories to tell.  And again, she’s not afraid to jump into the fray, already taking her first assignment for Pro Se, a concept that was suggested by two other authors.  But trust me, everything in the final product will be terrific and all Ellie Raine.”

Born May 5th, 1991, as the fourth--and last--sibling of three book loving brothers, and daughter of two electrical engineers with many shelves full of science-fiction/ fantasy novels, Ellie Raine caught the book bug and hopes to Gods she never recovers.

Ellie was on her way to becoming a Game Art and Design major at the Art Institute of Atlanta, but once she began writing her game idea as a book, there was no going back. Still passionate about her artwork, she’s found a way to juggle being both a writer and artist—and on occasion, sings and dances swing, if the fever comes on.

Hancock states that Ellie is already working on her first Pro Se work, featuring a decidedly different take on the classic Private Eye story. Covers are also being developed and considered for her to begin work on.

For more information, interviews with Ellie, or to learn more about Pro Se Productions, contact Morgan McKay, Director of Corporate Operations for Pro Se Productions, at directorofcorporateoperations@prose-press.com.

“Crime fiction,” says Tommy Hancock, Partner in and Editor in Chief of Pro SE, “is not only a mainstay in Genre Fiction, but it’s also something we’ve become fairly well known for at Pro Se.  And Layne’s first book, A Week in Hell is one of the reasons readers know us for noir, mystery, and crime fiction.   Breathless is not only another Thurman Dicke story.  It’s an expansion of a world, Champion City growing larger, darker, bigger in scope.  And yet Layne still peppers away at readers with deadeye precision, hitting every beat a good pulpy crime tale must hit to work.  And man, does it ever work.”

Welcome back to Champion City.  There’s a new medical examiner in town. Working girls and lonely hearts are catching a tough break on the streets of the city. An unknown killer, a quiet man of malevolent intention, is carousing in low places. A young patrolman catches a bullet when he interrupts the killer in the act. A stack of unsolved possibly related homicides point to a cover up. The previous medical examiner and a parish priest are sharing space in the morgue. The new ME appoints Thurman Dicke as a Special Investigator. Can he clear the cases, find the clues and catch the killer before the next anonymous girl dies? Or will he be, like the murderer’s victims, be left Breathless? 

Breathless: A Tale from Champion City is the latest chapter in Author J. Walt Layne’s series from Pro Se Productions. The tale returns us to the mean streets with Thurman Dicke, first seen in A Week In Hell. Mixing the rawness of 1950s crime fiction with the sophisticated brutality of modern noir, Layne delivers another one two punch on this bloody return to Champion City. Follow Thurman Dicke into the shadowy alleys of depravity in Breathless by J. Walt Layne from Pro Se Productions.

Breathless: A Tale from Champion City featuring evocative cover art and logo design by Jeff Hayes and print formatting by Percival Constantine is available at Amazon or at Pro Se’s own store at http://tinyurl.com/q3got8g  for only $9.00.   The digest novel will be available in coming days as an eBook.

SPACE OPERA ERUPTS IN PRO SE SINGLE SHOT SIGNATURE SERIES- ‘ALPHA/OMEGA’ BY VAN ALLEN PLEXICO DEBUTS

Taking Genre Fiction and New Pulp to another level, Pro Se Productions debuted the Pro Se Single Shot Signature line of digital series and writer’s imprints in mid 2014.  The innovative Publisher now welcomes another genre to the prestigious digital line written by one of the leading voices in Cosmic Pulp Fiction.  Alpha/Omega by Van Allen Plexico debuts with its first episode-Hostile Takeover- for only 99 cents.

Buy on Amazon

“Space Opera,” says Tommy Hancock, Editor in Chief of and Partner in Pro Se Productions, “often makes people think of Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers when they think of it in terms of Genre Fiction.  What Van has done in Alpha/Omega takes the best aspects of that, rolls it together with a bit of Military Sci Fi and then on top of it all, mingles that mixture with flawed, interesting, relatable characters. So, in many ways, this series is more than just a great space adventure.  It explores themes and explodes tropes.  And that is what great fiction is all about.”

A peaceful, international scientific research base orbiting Alpha Centauri-A.

A military coup aboard a starship headed to resupply that base.

A terrible, dark secret concealed on the moon of Amphion.

General Thomas Jefferson Davis and his UN commando squad have just jumped head-first into a hornets’ nest of cosmic proportions. But—are they the good guys in this story… or the bad?

Alpha/Omega: A new serialized near-future space opera adventure from Van Allen Plexico, author of the Shattering and the Sentinels series. 

Episode One: Hostile Takeover!

Alpha/Omega Book One: Hostile Takeover features stunning cover art and logo design by Jeff Hayes and eBook formatting by Russ Anderson.   The first issue of the latest Pro Se Single Shot Signature Series is available for the Kindle via Amazon at http://tinyurl.com/phxczzw and for most eBook formats at www.smashwords.com for only 99 cents.

PARTNERS IN NEW PULP AND GENRE FICTION- PRO SE PRODUCTIONS AND THE PULP PROJECT

Known as a cutting edge publisher of New Pulp and Genre Fiction, Pro Se Productions, continually looking to expand the variety of its catalog and bring the best packaging possible to the books it publishes, announces a new partnership with The Pulp Project.

The Pulp Project is a collaboration of Colorado’s most talented photographers, models, artists, and designers, coming together to create Pulp inspired photography in the studio and on location.  Headed by Austin Welch, The Pulp Project has produced and plans to continue to create images definitely inspired by both the medium of Pulp Fiction as well as the style of Pulp, which long outlived the original magazine format. 

The association of Pro Se and The Pulp Project means that Pro Se Productions will be utilizing images produced by The Pulp Project as covers for appropriate books and collections as well as Pro Se Single Shot digital singles and Single Shot Signature series.  When a Pro Se work requires a cover and a Pulp Project image matches said story or book, then Pro Se will utilize the image as a cover.  Also, plans are in the works for covers to be designed and created by The Pulp Project for specific Pro Se works.  Thirdly, collections and/or complete novels will, in the future, be built around Pulp Project existing photographs.

“One of the best parts,” says Tommy Hancock, Pro Se Editor in Chief and Partner in the company, “of being a part of Pro Se Productions is when neat things like this happen.  We’ve always known our interest in Pulp and Genre Fiction was shared by many, that others have the same passion we do.  When we find those people, those groups who are expressing that in their own way, in a fashion that not only we can utilize, but where there can be mutual benefit, it’s almost an innate action to see how the two entities can work together.  The Pulp Project is an exciting prospect, something that I wish we saw more of in this field.   The bringing together of models/actors, photographers, cinematographers, and more to produce a singular image that is a story all by itself.  To have the opportunity to put these works of modern Pulp art on Pro Se books, it’s really one of the reasons I enjoy doing what I do.”

The first image from The Pulp Project to be used for a Pro Se Productions title will act as the cover for author Sean Taylor’s upcoming Single Shot Signature Series Spy Candy.  It will be featured on the digital singles as well as the print collection produced when the series ends.

LIFE AFTER BEING A SUPER HERO CAN KILL YOU- FRANK BYRNS' "ADONIS MORGAN: NOBODY SPECIAL" DEBUTS FROM PRO SE PRODUCTIONS

Pro Se Productions, an innovative publisher of New Pulp and Genre Fiction, announces the release of its newest digest novel.  What happens when a once super hero cannot seem to escape the danger and chaos of his former life?  Author Frank Byrns pulls back the cape and mask to show readers in Adonis Morgan: Nobody Special, now available from Pro Se.

Buy on Amazon

“Deconstructing a hero,” says Tommy Hancock, Editor in Chief of and Partner in Pro Se Productions, “is a popular theme in fiction today.  What Frank Byrns does, though, in this book, is something different.  He takes a larger than life powered type and shows us what comes after he stops being a costumed super hero.  Adonis Morgan: Nobody Special is more noir than deconstuction, more gritty realism – as much as can be had in a book about a guy who called himself The Phenom – than intentional breaking down of an archetype.  Frank pulls off something very few authors achieve.  He makes Adonis Morgan seem both heroic and flawed simultaneously and that is why readers will find Adonis Morgan: Nobody Special to be something extraordinary.”

Adonis Morgan used to be a hero. As The Phenom, he kept the Arizona desert safe from trouble, masked or otherwise. But it didn't take. Now, he lives among the rest of us, keeping his head down, avoiding trouble. But trouble has a way of finding him in author Frank Byrns’ Adonis Morgan: Nobody Special from Pro Se Productions.

From the lonely boulevards of Hollywood to the deadly streets of Jefferson Falls, these five stories follow Morgan’s journey from hero to stuntman to cab driver, each step more desperate than the last, before finally finding himself on the most treacherous path of all: a campaign trail that leads him right back to where it all started. An extraordinary man searching desperately for an ordinary life makes Adonis Morgan: Nobody Special a thrilling, action packed collection and a must have for fans of Genre Fiction.

Featuring a stylish cover by artist Rick Johnson and cover/logo design and print formatting by Percival Constantine, Adonis Morgan: Nobody Special is available in print at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Pro Se’s own store at http://tinyurl.com/k264nq9 for $9.00.  Adonis Morgan will be fighting for his life as an ebook as well in coming days.
