LORD OF THE TREES!


Coming next Tuesday, Nov 13, from Titan Books ... Lord of the Trees (Secrets of the Nine #2 - Wold Newton Parallel Universe) (The Memoirs of Lord Grandirth)

"Having lived long enough with the charming fairy tale created by my biographer, I feel the time has come for the truth to be known. I propose to tell all; of the origins of The Nine, the elixir that gives us nearly eternal youth and superhuman strength, the struggles between us that set the world atremble."

A brand-new edition of the classic novel, a follow-up to Philip José Farmer's shocking and controversial A Feast Unknown.

Featuring an all-new Introduction, which I have written especially for this edition, "A Tale of Two Universes."

THE AVENGER: ROARING HEART OF THE CRUCIBLE NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER

Moonstone Books’ third anthology collection chronicling new tales of pulp hero, The Avenger, is now available for pre-order on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. THE AVENGER: ROARING HEART OF THE CRUCIBLE is scheduled for release in April 2013 in both softcover trade paperback and limited edition hardcover

The Avenger: Roaring Heart of the Crucible features stories by New Pulp Authors Matthew Baugh, James Chambers, Greg Cox, Win Scott Eckert, Joe Gentile, CJ Henderson, Nancy Holder, Michael May, Matthew Mayo, Will Murray, Bobby Nash, Barry Reese, Chris Sequeira, John Small, and David White. Edited by Nancy Holder and Joe Gentile. Cover art courtesy of E. M. Gist (soft cover) and Jay Piscopo (hardcover).


The greatest crime-fighter of the 40's returns in a third thrilling collection of original, action-packed tales of adventure, intrigue, and revenge. Life was bliss for millionaire adventurer Richard Henry Benson until that fateful day crime and greed took away his wife and young daughter... and turned him into something more than human. Driven by loss, compelled by grief, he becomes a chilled impersonal force of justice, more machine than man, dedicated to the destruction of evildoers everywhere. A figure of ice and steel, more pitiless than both, Benson has been forged into an avatar of vengeance, possessed of superhuman genius supernormal power. His frozen face and pale eyes, like a polar dawn, only hint at the terrible force the underworld heedlessly invoked upon itself the day they created... The Avenger! 

Exclusive HC BONUS material: An Avenger timeline by Rick Lai and solo tales of the Avenger's aides by Howard Hopkins!

My tale, "According to Plan of a One-Eyed Trickster," is third in a trilogy, and once again features a crossover team-up with the Domino Lady! In addition, the villain of the piece might be spotted in a Wold Newton novel by Philip Jose Farmer, and has also appeared in my Sherlock Holmes story "The Adventure of the Fallen Stone" and in my Wold Newton Origins story "The Wild Huntsman."


Coming April 2013 from Moonstone Books.
