Greeting Loyal  Airship 27 Airmen. Every week the Air Chief enjoys getting together with all of you to detail what we're up to here at Hangar 27.  Well this week, it seems we've been recruiting all manner of new Airmen and we thought it would only be fitting to shine a light on some of them.  All of them are cook people and we are thrilled they have come to support our efforts.  It's really an international group.

                         
                                      TANJA & THE RUBY FILES VOL ONE
Ms. Tanja Schumacher is a journalist from Hamburg, Germany,  She is also a huge fan of British illustrator, Rob Moran, whose recent art was featured in our book, “The Ruby Files.”  When Tanja heard of this, she went and ordered a copy of the book and then upon receiving it, had the above photo snapped and put it up on Facebook for Rob to see.  Thank you so much, Tanja, and trust you enjoy the four Rick Ruby adventures in this collection. Welcome to the ranks of Airship 27 Loyal Airmen.

                 
                                       SCOTT P DOC VAUGHN & KANE GILMOUR
A few weeks ago, comic and pulp fans gathered in Birmingham, Alabama for the Pheonix ComiCon. Among the creators there were artist Doc Vaughn and writer Kane Gilmour who together produced one of the coolest pulp comic strips on the internet today, “Warbirds of Mars.”  But don't take my word for it, Google this amazing strip and hang on for a wild and original pulp ride. Recently Kane saw a picture of the Air Chief wearing his Airship 28 baseball cap and asked where he could get one of those. We pointed him to our Cafe Press page and lo and behold he bought one immediately…and that's what he is wearing in this picture. Way to go Kane and welcome to the ranks of Loyal Airmen. Continued success with all your great projects.

        
                               JOE BONADONNA & A FEW AIRSHIP 27 TITLES.
As it would turn out, someone else on Facebook saw Kane's request about the official Airship 27 baseball cap and went out and grabbed one for himself as well. Writer and goof pal, Joe Bonadonna ordered one and when it came in, he had this picture taken wearing it and showing off his terrific collection of Airship 27 pulp books.  Way to go, Joe!!  We are truly so appreciative of you…and all our Loyal Airmen. Without you wonderful people there'd be no reason to keep the Old Airship 27 flying. Thanks ever and we promise to continue bringing the best quality pulp titles we can.  Speaking of such, take a look at our seventh title of the year.

“Sgt. Janus – Spirit Breaker,” by Jim Beard is our latest release, arriving over last week's Memorial Day Weekend. Sgt. Roman Janus is British, living outside London during the Edwardian period. He is an occult detective with the ability to deal with ghosts of all kinds. The fun of this eight story collection is that each of the tales is told to us by his clients. Thus we get a new first person narrative in each story and get to see our hero from eight different perspectives. Its a neat writing approach and Beard pulls it off beautifully. Only released a single week and sales are already brisk and rising. The book features a stunning cover by artist Jeff Herndon with eight interior illustrations by Eric Johns. The book is available in digital download format by clicking on to our dirigible logo to the left of this column, or you can order a hard copy from either Amazon or www.IndyPlanet.com –  We hope you'll check it out.

And that wraps it up for another week, Loyal Airmen.  It was a pure joy turning the spotlight on you this week and if you'd like to pick up one of our classy Airship 27 baseball caps, just go to Cafe Press on-line and write in the search block (Airship 27 Productions).  Remember, anyone coming to our table at a convention wearing one of these will get 50% off any one item on our table. Our small way of saying thanks for sharing our fun.  And there you have it.  See you back here in seven days.

Ron – Over & Out!
