THE GREEN HORNET CHRONICLES edited by Gentile & Eckert with covers by Orbik & Procopio

Check out the beautiful Glen Orbik cover to Moonstone Books' The Green Hornet Chronicles.

Orbik did the cover for another book which I was fortunate enough to have my name on the cover, The Evil in Pemberley House, and I'm thrilled that we're together again on this project.

Also loving the alternate cover by Ruben Procopio!

Happy Wold Newton Day, in celebration of a very special meteorite which fell 214 years ago today.

And cheers to the man who created the Wold Newton Family, Philip José Farmer.

The Green Hornet, Vol 1 (Moonstone Books)

My tale has been accepted for Volume 1 of Moonstone Books' Green Hornet prose anthologies. And, in fact, my story was inspired by this promotional image lovingly rendered by Ruben Procopio.

I'm also happy to say this is not the extent of my involvement with the Hornet and Kato, but further details are under wraps right now.

So stay tuned, and keep on buzzin'.
