Return of the G-Man

Several years ago, as one of my very first jobs for Airship 27 Productions, I contributed a story to the first volume of an anthology series featuring the classic pulp character, Dan Fowler: G-Man.

I'm happy to announce that today marks the release of the second volume and I, once again, have a story included. My story, "Monkey Business," begins with the death of the head of Chicago's Polish crime gangs and we soon find FBI Agent Dan Fowler on the case.

The book also features stories by my pulp colleagues Derrick Ferguson, Joshua Reynolds, and B. C. Bell. I'm thrilled to share the book with those three excellent writers. Also involved were Neil Foster, creator of the book's magnificently noirish interior illustrations; Brian McCulloch, who designed the stunning cover; and, as always with Airship 27 books, editor Ron Fortier and art director Rob Davis.

DAN FOWLER: G-MAN Volume 2 is now available at Amazon. 

Here's a look at the cover:

 

   

My Fourth Visit to Baker Street

I'm pleased to announce the release of SHERLOCK HOLMES CONSULTING DETECTIVE Volume 4, which includes work by writers I.A. Watson, Andrew Salmon, Bradley H. Sinor, Bill Thinnes, and my story, "The Problem of the Coincidental Glance." Here's the official press release and the cover!

HOLMES RETURNS

Airship 27 Productions proudly announces the release of the fourth volume in its most successful anthology series to date; SHERLOCK HOLMES – CONSULTING DETECTIVE.  “These are the books our fans keeping demanding more of,” reported Ron Fortier, Managing Editor of Airship 27.  “Readers around the world just can’t seem to get enough of the Great Detective.  Considering the popularity of shows such as SHERLOCK on BBC and ELEMENTARY on NBC, it’s clearly obvious that the crime solving team of Holmes and Dr. Watson are still as popular as ever.”

The time and place, Victorian England on the cusp of a new century where the marvels of science will spur the Industrial Revolution to new heights of cultural wonder. And yet amidst this societal upheaval, the dark elements of human kind continue to worm their way through the streets of London and its surrounding countryside.  Murder and mayhem remain and thus the work of Sherlock Holmes continues; his powers of deductive reasoning the crucial bulwark to stem this tide of villainy.

Here are five new adventures of Holmes and Dr.Watson written in the traditional style of his creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.  Writers I.A. Watson, Aaron Smith, Bradley H. Sinor, Bill Thinnes and Andrew Salmon deliver a quintet of truly memorable cases to challenge the famous crime fighting duo.  From the murder of a man who collects clockwork automatons to the theft of a valued Japanese sword, our heroes are once again called into action confronting a diverse set of mysteries guaranteed to entice the world’s greatest Consulting Detective.

Fortier relishes the debut of this new volume considering the overwhelming acclaim of the first three in the series.  “Amongst those books were four Pulp Factory Award winners,” he recalls happily.  “Two for Best Pulp Short Story of the Year, one for Best Pulp Cover and another for Best Interior Artwork.  The literary and artistic bars for this series have been set extremely high and we would have it no other way.”

The Pulp Factory Awards denoting the best pulp story and art from the previous year are voted on by the members of the Pulp Factory Yahoo Group and presented to the winners each year at the Windy City Paper & Pulp Show.

Sporting a cover by Chad Hardin with interior illustrations and design by Rob Davis, the

fourth volume in this bestselling series also features a fascinating essay, “The Mystery of

Mr. Holmes,” by I.A. Watson.  Here is grand adventure as Sherlock Homes fans around

the world have come to expect from Airship 27 Productions.
