ONE MAN TAKES ON EVIL OF THE WORST KIND-FRANK SCHILDINER’S ‘HIDDEN HORRORS’ DEBUTS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

It’s the early days of the new millennium, a time of hope and information expansion. The internet is becoming more widespread and new frontiers appear just ahead. Unfortunately, the worst criminals in the world, wealthy supposedly upstanding citizens are selling a commodity that destroys lives…child sex trafficking.

Pulled away from his retirement after two decades as a soldier, wounded veteran Alain Mancini battles vicious gangsters, wealthy entrepreneurs, and childhood friends in hopes of rescuing victims who cannot fight for themselves. The odds are against him, but some battles are worth the risk. Author Frank Schildiner, known for his genre bending novels, takes on a real-life issue of evil in his newest thriller. Follow Mancini as he risks his life, maybe even his very soul, trying to just save one child from HIDDEN HORRORS. From the author’s own imprint, Schildiner’s Worlds, and Pro Se Productions.

“Storytelling,” says Tommy Hancock, Editor in Chief of Pro Se Productions, “is escapism at times, and yet it also has the ability to touch subjects that disturb us in a way that opens minds, hearts, and eyes to a world we may want to ignore, but we shouldn’t. Frank Schildiner’s HIDDEN HORRORS is a tightly crafted thriller that weaves through a modern-day horror like a hot needle. But there’s more here than the suspense, this book burns with a passion about a topic that we can never forget exists still today. This may be Frank’s best work yet, in my opinion.”

Featuring a stunning cover and print formatting by Antonino lo Iacono, HIDDEN HORRORS is available from Amazon for only $14.99 at https://tinyurl.com/2ajhffw9.

Formatted by Iacono and Marzia Marina, Schildiner’s latest novel is also available as an ebook for only $3.99 for a limited time from Amazon at https://tinyurl.com/yk69ax5r. Kindle Unlimited members can read for free!

THE ADVENTURES OF LAZARUS GRAY VOLUME FOURTEEN DEBUTS!

PRO SE’S ‘THE YEAR OF REESE UNLIMITED’ BEGINS!

From the author imprint of scribe Barry Reese comes perhaps his greatest and best-known creation in yet another collection of action and pulp intrigue. THE ADVENTURES OF LAZARUS GRAY VOLUME FOURTEEN! 

He is a legend mentioned in fearful whispers. He is a faceless, heartless, savage destructive force of nature. If the Devil were vomited from the darkest pit of Hell into this man's path, he would grudgingly concede that he encountered a creature whose soul was black with deeds so cruel that they made him turn away in disgust.

In the City of Light, he is a darkness unending, but he has turned his gaze toward a goal that lies an ocean away in Sovereign City, and he will not be denied. He is an unrelenting evil known to many by a single name.

FANTOMAS.

And he is unlike any foe that Lazarus Gray and Assistance Unlimited has ever faced.

THE ADVENTURES OF LAZARUS GRAY VOLUME FOURTEEN by Barry Reese, from Reese Unlimited and Pro Se Productions, is the first volume in Pro Se’s ‘THE YEAR OF REESE UNLIMITED’. Twelve works written by or based on concepts created by Barry Reese as a part of his author imprint will be released, once a month, throughout 2024. 

With an atmospheric, gritty cover by Gilbert Monsanto and print formatting by Sean Ali, THE NEW ADVENTURES OF LAZARUS GRAY VOLUME FOURTEEN is available for 12.99 via Amazon.

Reese’s latest entry in his longest-running series to date is also available on Kindle formatted by Antonino lo Iacono and Marzia Marina for $2.99. Kindle Unlimited Members can read this exciting tale for free!

PRO SE LICENSES CREATIONS OF AWARD WINNING AUTHOR DERRICK FERGUSON FOR NEW STORIES AND UNPUBLISHED WORKS!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

On April 4, 2021, Genre Fiction in general and the New Pulp Movement specifically lost one of its most creative and beloved voices. On that date, Derrick Ferguson, the creator of Dillon and other fantastic characters, passed away. Pro Se Productions, the publisher of Derrick’s Dillon at the time of his passing, had in the months prior given Derrick his own author imprint-DERRICK FERGUSON’S POWER PLAY.  Pro Se Productions is now honored and privileged to announce that not only will the imprint continue, but new stories, digest novels, anthologies, and novels based on Derrick’s works as well unpublished works by Derrick will be produced, thanks to a licensing agreement between Pro Se and Derrick Ferguson’s estate, as represented by his wife Patricia.

“I literally owe my writing and publishing career to Derrick Ferguson,” says Tommy Hancock, Partner in and Editor in Chief of Pro Se Productions. “Meeting through fan fiction, Derrick showed an appreciation for the way I wrote and when he saw an opportunity for me to propose something to an anthology that he felt would be perfect for me, he not only suggested, but he in his way also demanded that I submit something. I did that, got accepted and published and now I have the unquestionable honor of being allowed to do something that, while bittersweet, is precious to me. Pro Se will continue to publish not only Derrick’s remaining unpublished stories, but we will also be making calls for anthologies, short stories, and novels featuring Derrick’s prolific cast of characters. From Mongrel to Diamondback to Sebastian Red to so many others, writers touched by Derrick’s kindness through the years as well as his presence as an author will now have the chance to add their voices to the worlds Derrick created. And yes, this also most assuredly includes Dillon.”

For many readers and authors in the New Pulp Movement, Dillon is the penultimate New Pulp creation, due in large part to the various influences wrapped up in the character as well as Derrick’s passionate, out-of-the-box storytelling.  

Thanks to this licensing arrangement, two works under the POWER PLAY imprint will be out before the end of the year for certain-DERRICK FERGUSON’S DILLON: THE ODD JOBS VOLUME TWO featuring short stories focused on Dillon’s supporting cast written by other authors and WE ALL RISE, an anthology tribute to Derrick’s impact on multiple New Pulp creators. Other works are also in the queue, including a series written by Derrick Ferguson and author Joel Jenkins that will be published by Pro Se as a single collection.

SUBMISSIONS CALL FOR ANTHOLOGY FEATURING NEW STORIES OF FIRST HARD BOILED DETECTIVE! “RACE WILLIAMS-SHOOT FIRST, TALK NEVER” OPEN FOR PROPOSALS!

With a licensing agreement with Steeger Properties LLC for anthologies and novels featuring characters Steeger either owns or manages, Pro Se Productions proudly announces that submissions are being accepted for RACE WILLIAMS-SHOOT FIRST, TALK NEVER, an anthology of all-new stories featuring John Carroll Daly’s two-fisted hero, considered to the archetype for the hardboiled detective.

First appearing in BLACK MASK in June 1923, Race Williams fought and shot his way through short stories in various pulp magazines and novels through 1955. Though not quite the gentleman or smart guy later detectives proved to be, and, by some standards, more thug with a license than PI, Race Williams busted down the door and paved the way with bullets and blood for what would become known as hard-boiled in the mystery scene, one of the enduring sub-genres of detective tales since Williams’ first story.

"Pro Se has had the honor for the last twelve years," says Tommy Hancock, partner in and Editor in Chief of Pro Se Productions, "to bring new life to many characters from the past, both those in the public domain and licensed concepts.  None, however, have the historical significance of Race Williams.  The character that established what hard-boiled means from the get-go, revolutionizing detective fiction in a way probably no other has, I mean, for Pro Se to be able to contribute to this canon, to this life in fiction. I really don't have words, except to say we are looking forward to doing right by Race Williams."

Writers interested in proposing a story for RACE WILLIAMS-SHOOT FIRST, TALK NEVER should contact submissions@prose-press.com to request the bible for the anthology, which consists of six of the published stories. Proposals must be 1-3 paragraphs long and must include the entire plot of the story, these are not elevator pitches or back cover blurbs. The stories should be approximately 5-6,000 words. This is a work-for-hire arrangement. 

The image with this release is the cover of the March 1931 issue of BLACK MASK featuring Williams on the cover. 

Following the anthology being filled with accepted proposals, there will be a call for a full-length RACE WILLIAMS novel as well.

TRANSYLVANIA TAKES ON NEVERLAND! ‘PAN VS. DRACULA’ DEBUTS!

“All hail Dracula! Hail to thee, born of dragons!”
“All hail Dracula! Hail to thee, lord of impalers!”

At St. Gilles de Rais Catholic School, the new French madam has grave concerns about the new school term and even graver concerns about two of her missing students. Meanwhile, plagued by the same concerns, Arthur Holmwood and Doctor John Seward find themselves unwitting companions with their old foe, the archfiend, Count Dracula, as the ancient vampire brings dangerous tidings of secret gardens and foreign royalties—the suggestion of an ancient threat from the dawn of time rising once more from dreamless slumber.

A TRAVELING SHOW OF CREATURES WHERE THE OWNER IS THE BIGGEST MYSTERY! ‘MATAGORDIA’S MYTHICAL MENAGERIE’ NOW AVAILABLE!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Come one, come all! Feast your eyes, ears, and more on the most wondrous creatures pulled from myth and legend ever gathered in one place. And in this traveling, almost unexplainable spectacle, the most amazing being is the owner, Matagordia, him…or herself!

MATAGORDIA’S MYTHICAL MENAGERIE is a wondrous mix of magic, mystery, and madness. Beasts, beings, and monsters thought to be fantasy…or fears alone are the featured attraction of this extravaganza. The truth is that humans and the animals we know to exist are not all that exist, and those things, those living things that belong to legend and nightmare, to dream and story…they need a place to be as well. A way to live. And someone to take care of them.

Be it a circus tent in the middle of a Midwestern field in the 19th Century or a small auditorium that somehow suddenly appears in Chicago in the 1930s, Matagordia’s Mythical Menagerie is a place where not only can regular folks see creatures they thought to be made up…but those very beasts aren’t on display as much as they live in a world all their own, one that is more than tent flaps or doors. Where outsiders see a warehouse actually may exist entire landscapes…and then there’s Matagordia, as much mystery and possible myth as the creatures on impossible display.

MATAGORDIA’S MYTHICAL MENAGERIE, an anthology featuring stories by T.N. Goode, Herika Raymer, Kenneth Robkin, Dewayne Dowers, and Paige McMahon with an introduction from concept creator Tommy Hancock. From Pro Se Productions.

Featuring a mysterious cover and print formatting and logo design by Antonino lo Iacono, MATAGORDIA’S MYTHICAL MENAGERIE is available for 9.99 via Amazon.

Formatted by lo Iaocono and Marzia Marina, this first volume of adventures is available as an ebook for only 99 cents for a limited time from Amazon. Kindle Unlimited members can read for free!

SUBMISSIONS CALL FOR ANTHOLOGY FEATURING LESTER DENT’S AVIATOR SPY! “THE NEW ADVENTURES OF THE BLACK BAT” OPEN FOR PROPOSALS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

With a licensing agreement with the Heirs of Norma Dent for anthologies of all new stories of characters created by Lester Dent, Pro Se Productions proudly announces that submissions are being accepted for THE NEW ADVENTURES OF THE BLACK BAT.

“Yes,” explains Tommy Hancock, “there is a third Black Bat from the Pulps, and this one is not only an aviator involved in espionage, but he happened to be created by Lester Dent! Although he’s known for being the genius behind Doc Savage, as well as other known characters, this one came as a surprise even to me.  Although not immediately considered a writer of aviation pulp, Dent’s early career is peppered with the publication of such tales in various pulp magazines. The Black Bat starred in just one of those stories, but even in that brief tale, Dent introduced a mysterious character whose face was unknown to anyone that took his spying and fighting to the airways! This is such a fun character for writers to get an opportunity to be a part of. Dent packed a lot of style and details on this aviator hero into one tale while also leaving a lot of room for writers to explore while respecting the original work.”

Writers interested in proposing for one of the six slots available in THE NEW ADVENTURES OF THE BLACK BAT should contact Hancock at editorinchief@prose-press.com to request the bible for the anthology. Proposals must be 1-3 paragraphs long and must include the entire plot of the story, these are not elevator pitches or back cover blurbs. The stories should be approximately 10,000 words and payment will be on a royalty basis.

A PATRIOTIC HERO TAKES ON EVIL FROM ACROSS THE POND -- THE ADVENTURES OF COLONEL BRITANNIA NOW AVAILABLE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Author Jim Doherty takes on a superhero trope in Pulp fashion in Pro Se Productions’ latest release-THE ADVENTURES OF COLONEL BRITANNIA -- now available in print and digital formats.

As the world reels from events that will soon lead to World War II, Commander Frederick Wentworth, RN, separated from Anne Elliot, the girl he loves, by class prejudice, decides to throw himself full-bore into his profession. Qualifying as both a commando and a fighter pilot, he volunteers for a potentially fatal medical procedure, one that, if successful, could make him something more than a soldier.

It could make him a symbol.

Reuniting with Anne, now an RAF nurse, and emerging from the experiment improved to the peak of human perfection, Wentworth adopts the persona of “Colonel Britannia,” the UK’s answer to the flamboyant Nazi military leader, Das Silberne Skelett, “The Silver Skeleton.”

In the course of the War’s early years, Wentworth will not only embody the spirit of his home country and all that stands for right during the war, but he will save an entire convoy from a sub attack, take on the Skeleton at every turn, become the UK’s top ace during the Battle of Britain, and fight with everything he has to stop the Nazi menace. If he’s good and lucky enough.

THE ADVENTURES OF COLONEL BRITANNIA by Jim Doherty with stunning cover art by the legendary Joe Staton and print formatting by Antonino lo Iacono and Marzia Marina is available in print for $12.99 at https://tinyurl.com/49zwyzxw. 

This superheroic collection is also available on Kindle formatted by lo Iacono and Marzia for $0.99 for a limited time at https://tinyurl.com/h9r4c2ma. Kindle Unlimited Members can read this thrilling adventure for free!

SEVEN CHARACTERS CREATED BY LESTER DENT LICENSED FOR NEW ANTHOLOGIES!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pro Se Productions, a Genre Fiction and New Pulp Publisher, is honored to announce a licensing agreement with the Heirs of Norma Dent that will see the publication of anthologies featuring all-new stories of characters created by Lester Dent, one of the best-known pulp authors of all time and the primary creative force behind Doc Savage.

The agreement between the Norma Dent estate, as represented by noted pulp historian and author Will Murray, and Pro Se Productions allows for Pro Se to recruit writers and artists to produce a single anthology featuring each of the following characters created by Dent-Lynn Lash, Foster Fade, Lee Nace A.K.A. The Blond Adder, The Silver Corporal, Curt Flagg of Scotland Yard, The Cowl, and The Black Bat.

The Cowl was a character Dent created as a rather unique Western series, but only saw life in one story. Dent’s Black Bat, a masked aviator, appeared once in a published story. The other characters had two or more published appearances.

“In 2014 and 2015,” states Tommy Hancock, Editor in Chief and Partner in Pro Se Productions, “we were given the honor of publishing the first new stories featuring two of Dent’s characters, Lynn Lash and Foster Fade, since their original appearances. Not only are we going to be able to return to Fade and Lash with a new volume of stories for each, but the fact that we are adding five more characters, each with their own set of new stories all their own, is amazing and humbling as well. To contribute to the continuation of any character is an honor for Pro Se Productions, as it is somewhat of a mission for us. To be able to make characters created by Lester Dent a part of that purpose is privilege and responsibility that we are not only glad to take on, but appreciative of having proved up to it previously.  Plus, it’s an added bonus that this collection of characters includes some of the most fun heroes we’ve had yet to publish!”

In the coming weeks, Pro Se will issue submission calls for an anthology featuring each of the aforementioned characters. Proposals will be taken and reviewed and those accepted will be included in the anthology set aside for each character. Payment for these projects will be royalty-based.

TOP NOTCH POLICE PROCEDURAL FROM A REAL LIFE COP ‘THE BIG GAME AND OTHER CRIME STORIES’ NOW AVAILABLE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Jim Doherty, author of AN OBSCURE GRAVE, a Dan Sullivan novel, and JUST THE FACTS: TRUE TALES OF COPS AND CRIMINALS, returns to a character that is in part auto biographical and wholly a unique character in police procedural fiction. Balancing action and suspense with authentic police work, Doherty’s Dan Sullivan leaves his mark once again in THE BIG GAME AND OTHER CRIME STORIES, now available in print and digital formats from Pro Se Productions.

Follow UC Berkeley undergrad and part-time cop Dan Sullivan as he works his way through fourteen stories, each one a case that tests Sullivan’s skills as a policeman and showcases the necessary, sometimes exciting work that a cop puts in on every job. 

“Doherty’s crisp, authoritative writing style put you right in Officer Dan Sullivan’s radio car, riding shotgun, as he navigates the surprisingly dangerous streets of Berkeley and the U.C. Campus.”

Officer Jerry Kennealy, San Francisco Police (ret.), award-winning author of the Jack Kordic series, the Johnny O’Rorke series, and the Nick Polo series.

“They say ‘fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth,’ and I can think of no better example than this book by Chief Jim Doherty. Authors who have been in law enforcement will tell you that many times a spark of truth will enter our fictional worlds. We may base them on incidents that were funny, serious, or even tragic, but this dose of realism is often what helps connect readers with our stories. In his book, Jim takes the reader through a series of fictional events that will appeal to the police procedural genre enthusiast, but then, like a magician revealing a secret, he opens the door to the real-world incidents which inspired them.”

Sgt. Andrew Nelson, NYPD (ret.), author of the Commissioner James Maguire series, the Police Chief Alex Taylor series, and the Detective Anthony Antonucci series.

THE BIG GAME AND OTHER CRIME STORIES, with fantastic cover work and formatting by Antonino lo Iacono and Marzia Marina, is available via Amazon for $9.99.

This thrilling collection is also available on Kindle formatted by Iacono and Marina for $0.99 for a limited time. Kindle Unlimited Members can read these stories for free!
