First up thank you one and all for your gracious responses to my last log entry detailing my recent medical scares. We aren’t completely out of the woods yet, but with your continued prayers, Val and I have no doubts things will be back to routine soon.

Okay, since I wanted this log to be used primarily to keep you all up to date with my latest writing projects, let’s get to it. The comic book atop this column is Digital Webbing Presents #24 dated July, 2005. The cover feature is a Gargoyle story written by yours truly and wonderfully illustrated by the character’s creator, Dario Carrasco. This is the second Gargoyle story Dario and I have done together and both of us were thrilled when Ed Dukeshire at DWP asked to run it in his full color anthology. The book will be solicited in
next month’s Diamond PREVIEW, so if you want a copy, you know where to look. I’d love to do more of these, but that will depend on how well this first adventure is received.

The week before last I announced the start of my new book review column, PULP FICTION. Well, it is officially up and running over at
the Paperback Bazaar site (see the link above)
and soon to be featured at Casablanca Comics.com and Modern Pulp.com, sort of my own web syndication if you will. My first column has been up a week and already received dozens of letters telling me how much it is enjoyed. Thank you and please keep, reading. Also a big-big thanks to Bill Thom over at Coming Attractions for announcing the birth of
PULP FICTION to pulpdom at large. I hope to post new reviews weekly if humanly possible, bi-weekly if not. Ha.

Finally my newest amigo, Anthony Schiavino over at Blinding Force Pulp (see my links page) has invited me to join his dynamic operations and create a brand new pulp series. Today he posted a press release concerning MESSENGER 13 –
the Father Michael Ryan Stories. As I’ve not finished my first story (..almost), I’ll hold off any more on this new and exciting venture until next time around. Needless to say, my plate is very, very full these days, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Hope you all had a great Easter holiday, take
care till next time.

Over and out, Ron.
