CHICKS IN CAPES PROMOTIONAL INTERVIEW-Jennifer Fallon

AP: Jennifer, what is your writing background, some of the works you've published, and your major influences?

JF: My background lies in epic fantasy. I have 13 novels in print around the world, across three series (the six books of the Hythrun Chronicles, the Second Sons Trilogy and the Tide Lords quadrilogy) and a new book coming out in March 2011, which is the start of the Rift Runners trilogy. I have a novella featured in the Legends of Australian Fantasy anthology, edited by Jack Dann, and I have also co-authored a tie-in novel for Stargate SG1. I have contributed a story to the More Tales of Zorro anthology, the Baggage anthology and various other publications with the magic million books in sales looming on the horizon so they tell me.  In my spare time, I run the Reynox International Writers’ Retreat near Christchurch, in New Zealand, mentor a number of writers online, work as a practice manager for my daughter’s veterinary practice, undertake public speaking engagements, and — so I found out this morning — I’m about to start a construction company.


My story-telling influences are old-school – Asimov, Clarke, H Beam Piper, Robert Forward, to name a few (note the lean towards sci-fi, rather than fantasy). I like that they wrote ripping yarns, first and foremost. If I had a chance to live my life over, I would be an astrophysicist, put in 20 years with NASA and then retire to write bestselling hard sci-fi. I would also arrange not to flunk math in high school, which I have long suspected is the reason I never became an astrophysicist in this life.


AP: You have a story featured in the Moonstone anthology, CHICKS IN CAPES. Can you give us a bit of a teaser of what readers can expect from your tale?　


JF: Hopefully a smile and a bit of entertainment. When I was invited to contribute to the anthology, I jokingly suggested I should give my superhero the superpower I have, which is the ability to find a car park right where I want it, every single time. Imagine my surprise (and consternation) when they emailed me straight back with “Wow! What an awesome idea! Can't wait to read the story!” Turned out to be a great challenge, but I love the end result. Long may the Violet Valet rule!


AP: What goes into building a heroic tale for you?  What makes up a good heroic character?

JF: For me it was getting the tone right. Mine is an origin story so the arch-villain isn't really the focus of the story. It’s more how the Violet Valet and her sidekick get together. I think what makes a good hero is one who is flawed in some way, but overcomes their flaws to do the right thing. I read somewhere that a fearless person can never be a hero, because there is nothing heroic about charging in when you’re not afraid of anything. The true hero is the one who does what they must, in spite of their fears. I tried to give my characters some flaws. The more super they are, oddly enough, the more human they need to be for the reader to identify with them.


AP: Do you feel like CHICKS IN CAPES is more than just a book about super heroines.  Is there a greater statement to be made with this collection?


JF: I think it’s a timely reminder that superheroes are not just for boys. They come in all shapes and sizes. We should judge our superheroes by their deeds, not their gender. Just like real people.

TIPPIN' HANCOCK'S HAT-Pulp Reviews by Tommy Hancock PARTNERS IN CRIME by CJ Henderson and Joe Gentile Published by Moonstone Books 2009, 187 pages There are some wonderful things about pulp these days.   One of those things is the opportunity to mix and match your favorite classic characters with modern original creations in all new tales.  All the writers, artists, even publishing companies are having a grand ol' time doing just that, spinning their own brainchildren in with the likes of the Black Bat, the Purple Scar, Moon Man, ad infinitem.   What makes it even better is when someone not only has those two fields to play in, but they also hold certain licenses to more recent fan favorite characters and throw them into the mix as well.  Yup, you heard me. Moonstone does a pretty good job of that.  One of the leading publishers of licensed characters as well as utilizing characters from the public domain, Moonstone has a little gem in its archive by the title of PARTNERS IN CRIME, written by CJ Henderson with an able assist by Moonstone CEO Joe Gentile.  There is so much wound into this time spanning cosmic tale with ties into the seedier side of fiction that I'll let the original copy for the book tell the tale- An original novel, with spot illustrations, that teams up Kolchak, Johnny Dollar, Boston Blackie, Candy Matson, Pat Novak, Blackshirt, Lai Wan, and Jack Hagee, and Mr Keen all in one great adventure! In the final days of WW2, a sinister plan to defeat the allies using black sorcery orig price thwarted, only to be resurrected today in a form even more terrible than before. Now, over six turbulent decades, across multiple continents, and through the darkest alternate dimensions, a force of unimaginable power stands poised to subjugate all of mankind. Yeah, you read that cast right..and that's not even everyone you'd recognize!!  Henderson and Gentile put together characters that many people would never think of tangling up and most of us fans would love to see together.  And these interpretations stay true to the roots of most of them, even down to Blackie's original addictions (yeah, if you haven't read the original books or any of the Moonstone Boston Blackie stuff, you don't know what I'm talkin' about!).  The plot is good, the interactions between the characters on target for the most part, and the twists and turns thrown in work overall.   Henderson and Gentile lend a good voice to the work, making it cohesive even though it was sort of split into parts with 'teams' of characters working different angles. One of the coolest parts of this book, however, is also its greatest weakness.  The book, a fast paced action paced pulp thriller, creaks and groans at times under the weight of its sizable cast.  Each character here, from Novak to Hagee to Kolchak to Dollar and beyond have carried their own stories previously and very well could carry this plot almost by themselves.  Some of the players don't get the due they should and in places where a couple do share center stage, they almost clash more than blend.  The book ties up all the loose ends of the plot, but with so many fully fleshed out characters involved, it does leave one feeling a little untied still. THREE OUT OF FIVE TIPS OF HANCOCK'S HAT-Definitely worth a read if you like supernatural mixed with your pulp mixed with your action. NO CLIFFHANGER FICTION TODAY DUE TO TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES....WILL BE FEATURED AT SOME POINT THIS WEEK AS SOON AS THE SORT OF EIC CAN FIGURE OUT JUST HOW TO FIX THESE DIFFICULTIES HE REALLY DOESN'T UNDERSTAND....

From the site  http://www.audiocomicscompany.com/

THE AUDIOCOMICS COMPANY ANNOUNCES...
MEN OF MYSTERY

The Phantom Detective. The Woman in Red. The Domino Lady. Secret Agent X. The Black Terror. Airboy and Valkyrie. The Flame. Ms. Masque. Beginning in 2011, these classic pulp heroes and comic book characters from the 1930’s and 1940’s will come to audio drama for the first time in brand new stories from today’s leading pulp authors as The AudioComics Company presents its follow-up project to their critically-acclaimed adaptation of Elaine Lee and Michael Kaluta’s Starstruck: the MEN OF MYSTERY series.For these stories, we’re keeping these characters rooted in their origins and time periods: Hammett’s San Francisco and Chandler’s Los Angeles. California in the dirty thirties and forties was the new wild west: immoral, violent, and wearing the white hat and a badge didn’t mean you didn’t have suspect motives. With the lines so badly blurred, the only way to meter justice was behind a mask. Furthermore, characters such as The Black Terror and The Flame will be written with a ‘pulp sensibility,’ as if they were originally written as pulp heroes. Men of Mystery adventures will feature all of the suspense, all of the hard-boiled action, and the breakneck cliffhanger energy of classic movie serials.

Writers and CD/Mp3 artists will be announced in the new year, with recordings commencing in late 2011 in San Francisco, beginning with several new Green Lama and Domino Lady stories. MoM plays will be released first as pay-per-download Mp3 serial recordings and then to community radio stations, with collected compact disc “audiothologies” available starting in 2012. In addition, The AudioComics Company will release several free short MoM pieces as digital content for mobile phones.

The basis for the critically acclaimed comic book series, Starstruck was first presented off-off-Broadway in 1980, and again off-Broadway in 1983. In a far-flung and very alternative future, Captain Galatia 9 and the crew of the Harpy and on a mission for the United Federation of Female Freedom Fighters. When the Harpy runs into a living ship inhabited by a team of galactic evildoers, including Galatia's insidious sister Verloona Ti, the outcome of the battle may well decide the fate of the free universe. The AudioComics Company is proud to present the audio adaptation of the play script as its inaugural production! Often hilarious, always surprising, Starstruck is a spine-tingling joy-ride to the far side of the spiral arm!

From Black Coat Press Publisher Jean-Marc Lofficier:

"THE SUPREME PROGRESS is another anthology of eighteen 19th century French proto-SF stories (following NEWS FROM THE MOON and THE GERMANS ON VENUS) by Brian Stableford. I'll single out two as singularly ground-breaking: Charles Cros' An Interastral Drama (1872), about an unlawful love between an Earthman and a Venusian woman, and Eugène Mouton's The End of the World (1872), depicting an ecocatastrophe precipitated by global warming generated by human industrial activity. The cover is by Mike Hoffman.

UNDERSEA ODYSSEY is a suspenseful 1907 techno-thriller about a crew trapped in a sunken submarine at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, by Captain Danrit, a French war hero (he died at Verdun) and the #1 author of militaristic, near-futuristic thrillers of his time. The cover is by Meinert Hansen.

Finally, HARRY DICKSON AND THE WEREWOLF OF RUTHERFORD GRANGE not only reprints G.L. Gick's (revised) story of Tales of the Shadowmen 1 & 2, but includes four more stories by Gick (two never published before) and an original Harry Dickson tale as well. The cover is by Matt Haley."

ALL PULP'S A BOOK A DAY REVEALS A LITTLE KNOWN ACTRESS FROM THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE SILVER SCREEN!

MARJORIE WHITE: HER LIFE AND WORK www.bearmanormedia.com

Marjorie White" details the life story of an actress of the '20s and '30s, a top starlet of her day, but virtually forgotten today. She was among the most talented of young comediennes of her era, and had she not died tragically at such a young age, on the very verge of top stardom, would have been among the names most highly remembered these years later, as the equal of such silver-screen luminaries as Jean Harlow, Betty Hutton, Martha Raye, and the others who achieved their own fame  in that "Golden Age" of stage and cinema. Born in the provinces of Canada, she was an outgoing performer from her earliest childhood, Worked the WWI years with the Winnipeg Kiddies performing troupe, and went on to acclaim on the Vaudeville stage, and made her screen debut in the light musicals of the late 1920s. With but 15 films to her credit, her inborn Joie De Vie and outgoing elan, she easily stole the show and overshadowed even the biggest names to whom she played "second fiddle." Her story in these pages should remind everyone why she deserves to chronicled  to performance history and remembered with a warm smile. Sometimes humorous, other times sadly ironic, it should bring to everyone's heart a soft "if only, if only."

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Gary Olszewski, an avid theater historian, began this book after seeing her play the lead in 1934's "Woman Haters", billed top and above the 3 Stooges, and started with the thought "Who was she, and whatever became of her?" Upon researching her life and career, he embarked on a comprehensive biographical/historical journey of her and her family ancestry, which dates to Scotland"s House of Stuart in the 1600s. Gary is a semi-retired Vietnam veteran, and currently lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he continues his literary pursuits.

ALL PULP REVIEW FROM RON FORTIER!!!

ALL-PULP REVIEW

By Ron Fortier

SIX-GUNS STRAIGHT FROM HELL

Edited by David B.Riley & Laura Givens

Science Fiction Trails Publishing

284 pages

I’ve made it a habit that after reading and reviewing a whopping big novel, I like to follow it up with an anthology. Sort of allowing my literary palette to enjoy smaller treats after having digested a weighty tome. With anthologies one can read them at a leisurely pace, choosing one or two tales every few days and not worry about remembering a single narrative over a long period of time. This I picked up “Six-Guns Straight From Hell,” a collection of weird western stories produced locally here in Colorado by editors David Riley and Laura Givens.

Now deciding whether any anthology is good or bad is simply a matter of mathematics. If the collection has more good stories than bad ones, it’s a good book and just the opposite if the clunkers outnumber the decent yarns. This volume contained a total of twenty stories and in the end the break down was four truly great pieces, ten good ones and six duds. Ergo, an excellent package all around, to include Laura Given’s humorous cover which tips its Stetson to the old TV series, the Wild Wild West.

Among the stellar quartet was “Chin Song Ping & the Fifty Three Thieves” by editor Givens. It’s the first story and my personal favorite. A Chinese rift on the Arabian legend of Ali Baba with a little Jackie Chan kung fu humor thrown in for good measure. Original, surprising and fun, it has all the elements to make you glad you picked this book up. Whereas “The Road to Bodie” is a sensitive drama about a young Mexican woman caught between two untenable situations, desperate to take her widowed mother and flee to a better life in Texas. And then there’s “The Enterprising Necromancer,” about a shrewd fellow whose business is raising the dead. A deliciously twisted fable that had me chuckling aloud. The final gem is “Snake Oil” by Jennifer Campbell Hicks about an elixir salesmen who arrives in town in a new, fancy dirigible.

Without listing all the other ten tales that I liked, let me add honorable mentions to David Boop’s “Bleeding the Bank Dry,” “The Last Defenders,” by Carol Hightshoe, “Smile” by Kit Voker and “A Specter in the Light,” by David Lee Summers. Coupled with the others, these adventures into the strange and scary west all proved to be entertaining. As for those I labeled duds, you’ll just have to pick those out yourself. All art is subjective and who knows, maybe one of them will tickle your particular fancy.

The bottom line here is “Six-Guns Straight From Hell” is a solid, marvelous anthology for those of you who like to mix your genres. So grab a copy, load your six-shooters and saddle up for some macabre adventures. It’s one “Hell” of a ride.

SECOND DODGE DALTON BOOK COMING, COVER RELEASED!

Author Sean Ellis, creator of DODGE DALTON, and Seven Realms Publishing have announced that the second Dodge Dalton book, DODGE DALTON AT THE OUTPOST OF FATE, is nearing completion.  In anticipation of that, the book's cover has been released! Stay tuned to ALL PULP for more developments from DODGE DALTON!!

PRO SE ANNOUNCES HIRING OF STAFF ARTIST!

 Pro Se Productions announces today that the Pro Se Presents Magazine line now has a Staff Artist.  Art chores to this point have been handled wonderfully by several contributing artists and Pro Se appreciates the work each of them has done.  In an effort to further improve the consistent look of the magazine line, however, the choice was made to bring on one individual to handle all interior art chores.  Clayton Hinkle, a past contributing artist, was offered and has accepted this position.

Clayton is 53 years old, recent heart attack survivor, happily married, no kids, 1 dog. Though his official (day-job) work title is auto-equipment operator (truck driver), , Clayton considers himself  a pulp/comic/book artist/illustrator, and is working hard to attain that title as his official job. Clayton has a life long love for comics, paper-backs and pulps and has been drawing such as far back as he can remember as well. 

Pro Se Editor in Chief Tommy Hancock stated, "We're very excited to have Clayton on board.  All of the artists we have used in our magazines have been great, but we've done such a wonderful job of establishing a 'Pro Se' style of sorts that we felt to further that we needed to have a regular artist and Clayton fits the bill and has such a range of skills that we're honored to have him."  Hancock pointed out that Clayton would also be working on upcoming book covers as well for Pro Se Productions, but that other opportunities still existed for artists within the company and that announcements on these opportunities would be forthcoming.

Another change Pro Se is making as of their most recent issue is stories under 10,000 words, considered 'short-shorts' by Pro Se will no longer have accompanying art.  Stories that are 10,000 words are more will have accompanying art.  When asked the reason for this change, Hancock stated that it was both artistic and work related.  "We now have one person doing the art," Hancock commented, "so we need to consider him in this. Also, we hope this encourages longer stories from submitting writers."
