Call Me Ish…er, Lazarus.

Yes, it’s true, I’m back from the dead. The last six months have been extraordinarily difficult ones for me in every conceivable way, and the six months before those weren’t much to brag about either. I’ve shared some of the details in previous posts and isolated e-mails, so there’s no point in going back over old ground. Suffice to say, during that period I promised enough without delivering that, after a while, I just backed off everything lest I be accused of being the boy who cried wolf.

But I’ve finally come through the long dark tunnel and am back in action. The long-overdue Distressed Damsels and Masked Marauders is now shipping and I’ve just completed a triple issue of Blood ‘n’ Thunder to make up for the three quarterly issues that subscribers should have received over the last nine months. Within the next few weeks I’ll also have the overdue Barehanded Castways sequel, The Island, ready for market. And I’m now working on other reprint projects to debut at PulpFest this summer.

The last couple months I’ve had some part-time help from a recently retired friend who generously offered to help me clean up the back-order mess, and I think we’ve just about gotten everybody squared away now. If you ordered something you still haven’t received — other than BnT, which has been on hiatus almost a year — please write to Kevin and muraniapress@yahoo.com and let him know.
