Countdown to the new Philip José Farmer books from Titan! (post #2)
As previously announced, three titles are coming up quickly. And one Wold Newton
book by Farmer has already been published, although it fell under the
umbrella of their "Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" line.
The Wold Newton series
will have several different "sub-series." Last post I listed the "main" Wold
Newton series and the "Prehistory" sub-series.
Today, I'm pleased to announce a third "sub-series," Secrets of the Nine: Parallel Universe. The first two books are listed below--including the breaking news that Art Sippo, an expert on both Farmer and the pulps, will be contributing the afterword to the classic Lord Grandrith/Doc Caliban novel A Feast Unknown!
Art's piece is an expansion of his talk at PulpFest 2011/FarmerCon VI, in which he vigorously and persuasively defended and advocated for A Feast Unknown as a loving tribute to Farmer's heroes Lord Greystoke and Doc Savage.
In addition, I'm pleased to announce that I'll contribute the foreword to the Lord Grandrith novel Lord of the Trees, in which I plan to discuss the similarities and differences between the "Lord Grandrith/Doc Caliban Universe" and the mainstream Wold Newton Universe.
Art and I will both be at FarmerCon VII / Pulpfest 2012 in August to discuss the books and our contributions.
Like the rest of Titan's Farmer reissues, the books will also be available in digital editions for Kindle and Nook. I'll post cover scans as soon as I have them.

Over the next few weeks I'll be outlining Titan Books' current plans for its series of Philip José Farmer reissues, so stay tuned to this space, or Facebook!
As previously announced, three titles are coming very soon. And of course one Wold Newton book by Farmer has already been published, although it fell under the umbrella of their "Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" line.
The Wold Newton series will have several different "sub-series." Currently the "main" Wold Newton series and the "Prehistory" sub-series are listed. More to come!

Sherlock Holmes: The Crossovers Casebook
I am reliably informed by my pal Matthew Baugh that Sherlock Holmes: The Crossovers Casebook is now available. This was the last book edited by our friend Howard Hopkins before he passed away, and I can't wait to read it. The lineup of contributing writers is superb, and includes Baugh, Hopkins, Joe Gentile, Richard Dean Starr, Martin Gately, Will Murray, Don Roff, Chris Sequiera, Martin Powell, and Barbara Hambly.My tale, "The Adventure of the Fallen Stone," involves Holmes with other detectives in the Sherlockian vein, Blake of Baker Street and Harry Dickson, as well as a Rohmerian femme fatale. Holmes' brother Mycroft has a significant role, and he sends the intrepid group off to the sleepy village of Wold Newton, where a certain meteor once fell.
The story also follows directly from the events of The Peerless Peer, which was edited for publication by Philip Jose Farmer, although you need not read Peer to enjoy and understand "The Fallen Stone."
Sherlock Holmes: The Crossovers Casebook is available from:
Amazon.com
B&N.com

Operator #5 anthology -- and the Green Ghost!
I'm pleased to announce that Moonstone Books is assembling a new Operator #5 anthology!
Joe Gentile and Gary Phillips will handle the editorial duties (as well as contribute stories), while the rest of the writers delving into the secret files are: Eric Fein, Ron Fortier, Tommy Hancock, Will Murray, Martin Powell,
Aaron Shaps, and Jeri Westerson. The tales are
self-contained, but are also part of a larger narrative, similar to the Purple Invasion saga from the original Operator #5 pulps.
Some of the stories will also team up Operator #5 with other pulp heroes, and I'm thrilled to note that the Green Ghost will be working with America's top agent in my tale!
