From THE ADVENTURES OF THE PULPTRESS Comes A Villain Like No Other-THE BONE QUEEN by Andrea Judy. And now the origin of The Pulptress’ arch foe is available as a top quality audiobook produced by Radio Archives!

All of humanity shares one inescapable experience, one inevitable fate. They all die. And in death, one woman finds her destiny. To be a Villain, to stand toe to toe with the ultimate heroine, The Pulptress. But first, evil had to rise from somewhere dark. Renata, a devotee of Mene, Goddess of Death, is on a singular mission during the era of the Black Death: to kill the Necromancer who is bringing the dead back as chiffoniers, rag and bone men. With a small band of men who have survived the Plague, Renata must find who is attempting to steal away the power of death and destroy them once and for all. Chiffoniers dog them every step of the way. And when death itself finally comes for Renata, everything changes. Once hunted, she becomes the hunter, tracking down the necromancer at any cost to herself and those around her. From devotee to deliverer of death, follow Renata as she discovers her true purpose lies in what comes after life. May The Gods Help Us All.

CALL FOR WRITERS OF FANTASTIC FICTION

Maplewood Barn Community Theatre, located in Columbia, MO, is in pre-production on the upcoming season of its Maplewood Barn Radio Theatre series of audio dramas. Featuring 30 minute radio adaptations of classic short stories as well as original fiction, the show broadcasts during the fall of 2015 and Spring of 2016 on KBIA 93.1 FM, the University of Missouri’s NPR affiliate.

Maplewood Barn is currently looking for short stories(must be public domain or your own original story which you can assign limited broadcast rights for) or completed radio scripts to fill out the season.

While this is an unpaid project, KBIA is one of the highest rated stations in the Mid-Missouri area and could lead to more exposure for the writer.

AIRSHIP 27 AUDIO BOOKS

The first Airship 27 Productions audio book is now available for sale at the Airship 27 Productions website; "Witchfire" by Ardath Mayhar & Ron Fortier. (See link below.) Produced in conjunction with Broken Sea audio, the six hours plus book features reader Fiona Thraille and was engineered by Chris Barnes.

"We could not be happier with the final product," said Airship 27 Editor in Chief Ron Fortier, also one of the co-writers of the book along with the late Ardath Mayhar of Texas. "I'm not sure if any of Ardath's many science fiction or fantasy novels were ever adapted to this format. I hope her many fans will truly enjoy this audio version which is dedicated to her memory."

Along with the release of this, Airship 27 is also releasing a Kindle version of "Witchfire." The company released its first Kindle title, "Captain Action – Riddle of the Glowing" by Jim Beard only last week. "We are really excited about these new formats," Fortier went on. "Our readers have been asking for them and finally we have the capability to provide them with this multiple formats. Expect to see many more of our books on both Kindle and as audio downloads."

Up next will be "Captain Hazzard – Python Men of the Lost City," and "Brother Bones – The Undead Avenger."

For now only audio file downloads will be available, selling for $9.99. Airship 27 does hope to eventually press CD copies as well. The company, started six years ago is devoted to publishing brand new pulp novels and anthologies and is operated by Fortier and his partner, Art Director Rob Davis.

PRO SE AND BROKENSEA TAKE NEW PULP TO THE NEXT LEVEL!

Pro Se Productions, an up and coming leader in the New Pulp Movement and publisher of New Pulp Magazines, books, and collections, announces today a partnership with Broken Sea Audio Productions, a leading name in New Pulp Audio.   Both companies have brought their impressive talents and abilities together to produce the first ever Pro Se Press Audio Magazines!

Pro Se broke onto the New Pulp scene in 2010 with a line of New Pulp Magazines.  These titles, FANTASY AND FEAR, PECULIAR ADVENTURES, and MASKED GUN MYSTERY, featured a variety of stories, both from professional as well as brand new authors and ran the gamut from horror to hero to mystery to fantasy and beyond.  Although these titles have now been combined in print into the singular title PRO SE PRESENTS, Pro Se plans to continue the three titles in an audio magazine format, thanks in large part to the wonderful people at Broken Sea Audio Productions.

“There’s something,” says Tommy Hancock, Partner and EIC of Pro Se Productions, “about these fantastic New Pulp short stories that just screams to be expressed beyond print.   When you’re reading words written by Ron Fortier, James Palmer, and Van Plexico or in the middle of a Sovereign City scene penned by Barry Reese or Derrick Ferguson or even marveling to the new talents of people like Nancy Hansen, Ken Janssens, Lee Houston, Jr., Megan Smith and more, you can hear the voices in your head.   Likewise, the extremely talented crew at Broken Sea Audio Productions, led by Paul Mannering, have this fantastic art of bringing to life stories, some with characters we all know and others with brand new New Pulp creations.  The actors and readers at BrokenSea breathe voice into pen and ink and make it leap off the page and into a whole new level of imagination.   Because of this, the partnership of these two fantastic groups as well as the merging of the work they do is a great next step in the evolution of New Pulp.”

Hancock also says that plans for both future Audio Mags as well as Audio Books of Pro Se's line of novels and collections are definitely in process and will be announced in the near future.

The first three issues of each Audio Magazine are now available for sale at www.pulpmachine.blogspot.com as downloads.   “Although consideration was given to producing CD versions of these fantastic works,” Hancock states, “and we will have special CD versions available for public appearances and conventions in 2012 and beyond, we felt that with the advent of MP3 Players and other technology more attuned to playing a file instead of a CD, that this was the best and most efficient way to deliver this great new product.”   Once purchased, Pro Se will send the buyer a link to download the issue(s) the customer has bought within twenty four hours of purchase.

Priced at $7.50 per issue, each magazine is over 4 to 6 hours of New Pulp Audiobook entertainment.  Each magazine is read by a single reader, but the readers provide various voices and show a tremendous control of emotion and tone in each story, adding to the power and pleasure of listening to each tale.  This combined with the wonderful work of Broken Sea Producer Chris Barnes makes Pro Se’s line of New Pulp Audio Mags a definite must have for any fan of Action/Adventure/Heroic/Genre Fiction.
