Air-124

Greetings Loyal Airmen and as you can see by that gorgeous cover above, Airship 27 Productions has just released our 124th title.  RUTHERFORD JONES in Trouble Times Three by writer Robert Ricck featuring a black private eye who operates in Oakland Ca in the 1930s.  Providing the beautiful interior illustrations is artist Andrew Ritchie and that cover was done by the amazing Patricio Carbajal.  His work totally speaks for itself.  You can get the book at Amazon in book hard copy and on Kindle and eventually Radio Archives will produce an audio version.  So happy to have this out at last.

Every now and then some things happen that we just have to chuckle aloud. Such was the case when Radio Archives’ Tom Brown contacted recently with the news that their audiobook of our MASKED RIDER – Tales of the Wild West Vol One was almost finished and would soon be released via audible.com on-line.  Along with his notice, Tom included the photo above.  It seems the voice actor doing the book, Verle Luthy, was traveling through Cody, Wyoming, six years ago with his wife and stopped into a small shop to pick up a souvenir bottle of wine.  And the above “Masked Rider” bottle is what they found, little knowing Verle would one day be recording new adventures of the western hero.  Folks, you just gotta love this stuff.

As you know, every now and then we like to give you Loyal Airmen a few sneak peaks at up and coming projects.  So take a gander at the two cover pencils above.  The one on the right is for the new pulp novella we wrote last year for Moonstone Books called FACES OF FEAR and it teams the Black Bat with the little known pulp hero, the Purple Scar.  Moonstone is on the last stages of assembling the project and as soon as we have a date for its release, and a finished colored piece, you know the Old Air Chief will post it right here.  And speaking of the Ye Old Air Chief, to the right you’ll find him seated in his private lab enjoying a beer and the local scientific journal…all courtesy of artist Rob Davis for the forthcoming issue of “RON FORTIER’S TALES OF THE MACABRE” # 6.  And again, as soon as the comic title is out and available, we’ll give you all a heads up.

And that’s it for this week, Loyal Airmen.  After two solid weeks of gorgeous summer weather here in Fort Collins, today is snowing.  Seems winter hasn’t quite gone away yet.  Arrgh.  Stay warm out there.

Ron – Over & Out!
