A new anthology I’m involved with is now available for purchase. My story in this collection is called "The Last Flight of The Night Witch."
Having assisted in the Vistula–Oder Offensive and made part of the major advance into German-held territory where the Red Army captured Kraków, Warsaw, and Poznań, the Night Witches, a squadron of all-female pilots, were scheduled to stand down and be disbanded. Ace pilot Yelena Olva disobeys orders for a mission of revenge against the German officer who had captured and tortured her months earlier. After overhearing a communique that the German officer is making overtures of collaborating with Allied Forces to bargain for his freedom, Yelena cannot let this monster live. Though she knows it means imprisonment at best and death at worst, she sets out to kill one last enemy before he makes his final escape.
Welcome to Occupied Pulp.

The end of World War II brought with it a renewed chance for peace, hope, and prosperity to the strife-ridden nations across the globe, but for some people treachery, intrigue, and conflict was in their blood…whether they liked it or not.
You’re enlisted to join forces with six stalwart pulp writers as they march into occupied territory in post-war Germany, Italy, and Japan. The Axis Powers have been vanquished, though in some camps the news either falls on deaf ears, or is a signal to work even harder to bring about the downfall of freedom-loving people everywhere.
OCCUPIED PULP offers all the two-fisted, slam-bang action and adventure that are hallmarks of the pulp tradition. Along the way, you’ll encounter fascinating heroes and villains who wage a mighty struggle to either protect the fragile peace or set the wheels of conflict and destruction back in motion.
Stay vigilant! Some enemies have not yet laid down their arms!
Featuring stories by Will (DOC SAVAGE) Murray, William Patrick (FU MANCHU)Maynard, Patricia (HANNARIA) Gilliam, Bobby (SNOW) Nash, Justin (STORM’S FURY) Bell, and John C. (MIDNIGHT GUARDIAN) Bruening.
OCCUPIED PULP created by Jim Beard and John C. Bruening.

NEW ANTHOLOGY FROM FLINCH BOOKS EXPLORES THE AFTERMATH OF WORLD WAR II. OCCUPIED PULP marches headlong into mystery and adventure in post-war Europe and Japan
Flinch Books announces the release of OCCUPIED PULP, six tales of action, adventure, and mystery set in the aftermath of World War II.
When the war that defined the 20th century came to an end in 1945, the undercurrent of geopolitical tension continued for months afterward as Europe and Japan under Allied occupation became a hotbed of nefarious schemes. Mystery lurked around every corner, and danger waited down every dark alley. OCCUPIED PULP surveys that precarious post-war landscape with stories from six high-profile pulp writers: Will Murray (DOC SAVAGE), William Patrick Maynard (FU MANCHU), Patricia Gilliam (HANNARIA), Bobby Nash (SNOW), Justin Bell (STORM’S FURY) and John C. Bruening (THE MIDNIGHT GUARDIAN).
Now on sale in print and Kindle formats, this collection of harrowing tales delivers all the two-fisted, slam-bang action and adventure that are hallmarks of the pulp tradition. Along the way, you’ll encounter fascinating heroes and villains who wage a mighty struggle to either protect the fragile peace or set the wheels of conflict and destruction back in motion.
“We’ve assembled an amazing lineup of writers for this project,” says Flinch Books Co-Founder and Editor John C. Bruening. “I knew from the outset that I would have to be on my A game if I was going to be among the contributors. Individually and collectively, these stories capture the dangerous state of affairs in the months immediately following World War II, when new lines were being drawn, new alliances were being forged and the global balance of power was still up for grabs.”
Flinch Books Co-Founder and Editor Jim Beard concurs. “We’re always looking for a project that not only launches from a solid, traditional pulp base, but also stretches to be something unique among other fiction anthologies. With OCCUPIED PULP, I think we’ve done our jobs.”
So suit up, soldiers! Grab your weapons and step into the hot zone, because there are plenty of skirmishes yet to be fought and won.
The war is over, but the action continues!
