Greetings Loyal Airmen, as we write this Flight Log, many of our colleagues are in San Diego attending the big San Diego Comic Con.  We wish them all a fantastic weekend.

Last week Airship 27 Productions released Fred Adams Jr.’s sequel weird western novel, SIX-GUN TERRORS Vol Two.  Well don’t look now, but this week’s release is another Adams thriller, C.O. JONES – Mobsters & Monsters, about a World War II veteran with magical abilities.  And it is the first in a new series.  Adams is really a writing machine.  The book can be had on Amazon in both hard-copy and on Kindle. The cover painting is by Carl Yonders and features 9 black and white illustrations by artist Clayton Hinkle.  As ever, thanks for your continued support.

As most of you Loyal Airmen know, the Air Chief loves to read, when he’s not busy writing and editing a million other projects, and we have our own review blog called Pulp Fiction Reviews.  On an average we read fifty books a year and while most of good and enjoyable, every once in a while a title comes along that is so exceptional that we want to share it with you.  Such is the case with SHERLOCK HOLMES – Blood to the Bone by Andrew Salmon and published by the Fight Club crew.  This book is simply amazing.  Please take a minute to visit my PFR site and read my full review, we think you’ll like it.  (http://www.pulpfictionreviews.blogspot.com/)

On another happy note, the Air Chief received his copies of NIGHTHAWK – Burning Skies a few days ago.  The people at Moonstone Books did a great job packaging this book and of course Doug Klauba’s cover is one of the best pulp paintings ever done. We’ve made an agreement to purchase the original from Doug and hopefully, but his Fall, it will be hanging on the Air Chief’s office wall.  Again, you can pick up copies of this book at Moonstone’s on-line store.  It will also be available through comicbook shops after the 22nd of July and eventually on-sale at Amazon.  We hope you’ll give it a try. We had a blast writing it.

Several days ago, Rob Davis finished drawing the beautiful image above.  It is the last such for the new project we are doing together for Moonstone Books.  Early this morning Rob wrote to say his mother had passed away in her sleep last night.  All of here extend our deepest condolences to Rob and his entire family at this time of loss and will be keeping them in our hearts and prayers.  Eerie how that drawing became a sad reality.

And finally, again, discovering this late today, the Air Chief has once again been nominated for the Munsey Award.  This award, named after a famous pulp editor of the 30s, is handed out each year at PulpFest to that person who has gone above and beyond to promote and support pulp fandom.  Ten people are nominated and from these nominees, past winners choose a new recipient.  So a colleague notified us today that we were one of the ten nominees.  After reading the complete list the Air Chief was simply bowled over …and humbled.  Even to be included amongst these great people is an honor and we are extremely gratified to have been nominated. That’s a win all by itself.

And that’s this week’s Flight Log, again, do keep Rob and his family in your prayers the next few days.  We thank you from our hearts.

Ron – Over & Out!
