What Next?
Finished off the second Straw-Man volume so now I’m in between projects. This is both a fun period and a maddening one because I’m temporarily free of feeling like I have to keep up with a deadline but also I’m overwhelmed by the possibilities. Should I work on the fifteenth volume of Lazarus Gray? TheContinue reading “What Next?”
Princess Femi
A good villain can make all the difference. With The Peregrine, most of his enemies were dead and buried by the end of each adventure, though he had a few (The Warlike Manchu, for instance) who made return appearances. When I created Lazarus Gray, I knew that one of the things I wanted to doContinue reading “Princess Femi”
The Claws of the Peregrine
After I’d finished several stories in The Peregrine series, it occurred to me that I’d introduced quite a few supporting characters that were worthy of stories in their own right: Leonid Kaslov, Catalyst, Revenant, Rachel Winters, Frankenstein’s Monster, etc. I decided it would make perfect sense to throw some of those characters together and createContinue reading “The Claws of the Peregrine”
How Far Is Too Far?
I keep most of my New Pulp writing in the PG-13 range but I’ve been known to cross “the line” on occasion… some of you may remember when Sun Koh mutilated a rapist in an old Peregrine story, for instance. And my novel Rabbit Heart is basically a study in excess! Whenever I thought that I mightContinue reading “How Far Is Too Far?”
The Black Terror
The Black Terror is a character that dates all the way back to Exciting Comics # 9, published in January 1941 by Nedor Comics. His secret identity was pharmacist Bob Benton, who formulated a chemical he called “formic ethers”, which gave him various superpowers. He used these powers to fight crime with his sidekick, Tim Roland, togetherContinue reading “The Black Terror”
What A Month!
Two books released in December! It’s been an exciting time around Reese Unlimited and hopefully a few folks will end up with one or both of them under the Christmas tree. One of them is a new addition to my long-running Lazarus Gray series while the other is a one-off starring a sword and sorceryContinue reading “What A Month!”
Multiversal Madness
Tomorrow I’ll be seeing the Spider-Man movie and I cannot wait. Marvel has been putting a lot of its recent eggs into the multiversal basket and I’ve been very pleased since I’ve been a big fan of such things my whole life. Back when DC had Earth-1, Earth-2, etc., I was a massive fan ofContinue reading “Multiversal Madness”
The Occult Forces Project
One of the background elements that has featured in a lot of my pulp adventure stories is the Geheimnisvolles Kraft-Projekt, also dubbed The Occult Forces Project or OFP. Founded in the late 1930s, the OFP was dedicated to utilizing super-science and magic in the name of The Reich and was a subset of The Ahnenerbe.Continue reading “The Occult Forces Project”
The (Fictional) Women In My Life
I’m mostly known for my male creations — The Peregrine & Lazarus Gray, for instance — but I’ve spent a good bit of my career writing female leads. The Damned Thing, Rabbit Heart and Gravedigger all feature strong female characters. I’m proud of those books, especially since the pulp field is still so testosterone-heavy. NewContinue reading “The (Fictional) Women In My Life”
