READ MORE >>Murania’s First Release of 2017
Yes, it’s been a long time since this blog was updated. But at last we have some exciting news to report. Pulp fiction’s first super-villain is back after nearly 100 years in obscurity—and his criminous exploits are just as thrilling now as they were a century ago! After a lengthy, unanticipated delay we’re finally releasing the first […]
READ MORE >>A Major Award!
This week I received a nice surprise in the mail: a bulky package containing . . . no, not a lamp shaped like a lady’s stockinged leg.

READ MORE >>Coming Next Week: THE PURPLE EYE
We’re happy to announce the availability of the latest volume in Murania’s Classic Pulp Reprints series.

Since launching the zine in 2002 I’ve done a pretty lousy job of adhering to its stated quarterly schedule anyway, and […]
READ MORE >>BLOOD ‘N’ THUNDER #45 Is on the Way!
As of this writing the final subscriber copies of the latest BnT have been ordered and are being shipped directly from the printer. I got some of them in the mail before leaving for PulpFest, but most were ordered this week once I’d returned from Columbus and decompressed for a day or two. Those of you who don’t already have your […]
READ MORE >>Now THAT’S a Review!
Don’t believe any author who claims not to pay attention to reviews. He might discount the good ones and ignore the bad ones, but believe me, he pays attention. I’ve been extremely fortunate to receive uniformly favorable notices for my books, most recently the award-nominated Distressed Damsels and Masked Marauders, and previously Filming the West […]
