PulpFest 2013 Report: Part Two
Saturday in the dealers room seemed a bit subdued to me, especially after Friday’s whirlwind activity.

If you’re within driving distance of Columbus there’s still time for you to join us, and a gala weekend it promises […]

I haven’t done much blogging lately because I’ve been sweating over the new Murania Press publications that will formally debut at next week’s PulpFest in Columbus, Ohio. Just today UPS delivered my first copies of A. M. Chisholm’s Pirates of the Pines, the third volume in Murania’s Classic Pulp Reprints series. It looks pretty darn […]
