ODD TALES OF WONDER #1 IS OUT!!

Hey everyone! In addition to running this site, I also run a fiction magazine called Odd Tales of Wonder! And our very first issue is finally available!

Odd Tales is a pulp magazine for the modern age, featuring an "anything-goes" approach to plot and convention, while still delivering top-notch stories. The pulps of old told tales of horror, heroes, criminals, and broken hearts, and that's what I and five other writers are offering to you. Brian Furman has a story about death called "Stooging"; Jonathan Huisman tells a story of doomed lives in the form of "Clay Lovers"; Rogaard Montieff talks about the monstrosity of frustration in "Fifteen 2 Fifteen 4"; Zack Rouse gives us the first parts of his play Nestled in the Shade of Jackalberry Tree, which is nicely political; James Ruben creeps us the fuck out with "No Explanation"; and I tell the first adventure of New Pulp heroine Bloody Mary in "The Blood Avenger." This awesome first issue can be purchased on Amazon in both print and Kindle formats.

While I'm talking about other projects, I'd like to once again shamelessly advertise my new book, graciously published by Ramble House, whose books have and will populate many adventures of the Book Club of Desolation.

Tail of the Lizard King is one of 'em books what got two books in 'em! In this case, it has Tail of the Lizard King and Kaliwood. The former tells the story of Sinthia, a pot-addicted factory worker who kills her boss, and consequently joins a cult to get what she wants in life. Kaliwood concerns dying filmmaker Karl Denim, whose desire to be remembered as the world's greatest director will take him to India and beyond--to the lair of dinosaurs. If that sounds in anyway enjoyable, you can get the volume HERE from Ramble House and HERE from Amazon. I would like to point out that the publisher does offer a discounted etext version, the only etext available. Whether you love it or hate it, please leave it a review on Amazon! Preferably the same goes for Odd Tales.

Thank you so much for your support--with these publications and with the A-List. I love you all, and I hope you are having an excellent day.

TAIL OF THE LIZARD KING is Now Available!

This post is going to be a bit more personal than usual, but this is still a matter of relevance. You see, the wondrous folk over at Ramble House have published my trash-literature book, Tail of the Lizard King! This is my first published novel and I can hardly express my gratitude and excitement. I started work on Tail after my first intimations with the stuff that I talk about at meetings of the Book Club of Desolation, and I like to think it contains echoes of Harry Stephen Keeler and Ron Haydock. Who's Ron Haydock, you ask? Hm...I wonder who the subject of the next Book Club will be...

Tail contains two novellas, the titular story and Kaliwood. The former tells the story of Sinthia, a sex-crazed pot addict who goes on a search for truth and weed...and in doing so finds the key to revenge on the men who wronged her. Kaliwood is about Karl Denim, a repressed film director who may find the answer to his problems in an area of India where the dread dinosaur Noxosaurus is said to live. If any of that caught your eye, or even if it didn't, order your copy and get exploring! After all, entertainment is my sole goal in life, and hot damn, check out that cover! Gavin O'Keefe, the RH cover artist, is a superstar, and you should buy the book just for his efforts alone. So what are you waiting for?
