Lots of stuff coming up.
So this year has been hell for me, personally. But writing-wise, things have been good. I’m
not going to go into the personal crap, but I wanted to give folks a heads-up
about what’s coming down the road.
Within the next couple of weeks, I have two stories being
released. The first is a pirate tale, a
fictional account of the lady pirate, Anne Bonny’s last great adventure.
In reality, Bonny, after being captured along with her
husband, Calico Jack Rackham and Mary Reed, was imprisoned in the Royal prison
in Spanish Town, Jamaica. Rackham was executed for piracy, while Bonny and Reed
were spared a death sentence after ‘pleading the belly’ (being pregnant). Reed
later died from an illness and fever. Bonny, however, seems to have disappeared
from recorded history. Some speculate
that her father bought her freedom and returned her to Charlestown, South
Carolina. Others say she died in prison.
While the true history of Bonny’s fate is unknown, I decided
that she should have one last, great adventure. ‘Anne Bonny’s Revenge’ will be
featured in Pro Se Production’s ‘Tall Pulp’.
The second story is a pulp adventure called, ‘Cry Blood’. It’ll
be featured in Pro Se Production’s ‘Pulse Fiction’. The story centers on Thomas
‘Tommy’ Gunn, P.I. and all around scoundrel.
When a young woman in trouble shows up at his door, Tommy
takes the case. What he doesn’t count on is that everyone around her end up
dying in horrible ways. Can Tommy figure out what is happening before he becomes
another victim?
Beyond this, Capes & Clockwork 2 is in the works,
bringing back many of the authors from the first and a few new ones. Also, an
unnamed short story collection is in the works. An untitled Steampunk project
is in the works. The planned serialized Port Victoria books are on temporary
hold, but hopefully will be out sometime soon.
Stay tuned for more news!!!
