• As-yet untitled story for Moonstone's third Avenger anthology, The Avenger: Tales from Bleek Street (the plan is to wrap up the storyline from my first two tales, including a return engagement for the Domino Lady)
• Story for a Moonstone anthology crossing over a well-know pulp secret agent for which Moonstone has acquired the license, and the Green Ghost (more info when I can make it available!)

Books Edited

 Short Nonfiction

•  Much bonus material for Titan Books' new reissues of Philip Jose Farmer's Wold Newton Novels; more details coming soon!

 Other: I may still write a Sherlock Holmes novel, but Titan has more Wold Newton reissues waiting in the wings, so I'll need to see what my schedule allows. Stay tuned to this space!

More Tales of Zorro illustration

Artist extraordinaire Rubén Procopio has posted several spot illustrations from the recently released More Tales of Zorro (Moonstone Books, April 2011).

His envisioning of my story, "Zorro's Rival," is below!

Thanks Rubén!

More Tales of Zorro...

... is now in stock at Amazon.

Also available direct from Moonstone.

My tale is "Zorro's Rival," and I've already gotten a kind word or two about it from some early readers.

Check it out, won't you?

More Tales of Zorro -- and the company I keep

Moonstone's More Tales of Zorro, edited by Richard Dean Starr, has been announced: here and here.

(Note: the cover to the right by the fabulous Douglas Klauba is apparently not the final art.)

I'm thrilled to be contributing to one of the original masked pulp heroes--and humbled to be in the company of these other writers.

And in more Amazon weirdness, the US site lists only one author, while the Canadian site lists everyone. Maybe just get it from B&N? :-)
