Greeting loyal airmen.  I hope all of you are enjoying the marvelously beautiful fall weather we are experiencing throughout most of the county.  Before getting into this week's log of events etc., I just want to say thank you for all of you who stop by here on a regular basis.  Our numbers of visitors has been on the rise recently and I am very appreciative that so many of you are signing on as airmen.  It's nice to know we've so many good friends. And please continue to spread the word on Airship 27.  You can never have enough airmen in your squadron.

Okay, some good things to bring to your attention today.  And I also want to let you know that several of our talented writers and artists are hitting the Convention Circuit this very weekend and if any of the locales I mention are within your area, you should go out and meet these talented people.   But first the best news of all.

              

CAPTAIN HAZZARD – THE CITADEL OF FEAR in its first week on sale has broken all previous sales recornds of any of our pulp novels!!!  Amazing.   Publisher Ron Hanna and I are estatic and of course everyone involved with the book, Martin Powell, Tom Floyd, Rob Davis & Anthony Schiavino are so grateful for your overwhelming reception and support.  Thanks so much.  For those of you who haven't picked up a copy, I thought I'd let you see the cover once again, to include the back as well.  Anthony did such a beautiful job designing the book, I love to show it off.   And please, if you enjoyed the novel, do drop us a line and let us know and as always, spread the word.  With the success of this past week's sales, we don't want to lose our momentum.  We want CITADEL OF FEAR to be the best selling pulp book ever!!!  And you are the people making that happen.  Thanks so much.

Now if any of you loyal airmen are going to be in Minneapolis this weekend (Oct 7 & 8) please check your local newspapers for the location of the annual comic book show, FallCon.  Guests at the show, again this year, will inculde my co-writer pal, Martin Powell and our cover artist, Tom Floyd.  Both are personable, talented guys and much fun to meet.  So again, if you are anywhere near this city, find FallCon and have yourself a great time.  Likewise, if you are somewhere in the realm of Lion Around Books, Main St. Quakertown, PA tomorrow between noon and 2 PM. another airman writer, Bill Spangler, who contributed to our anthology LANCE STAR – SKY RANGER, is doing a signing at this fine establishment.  Check it out.

And lastly, your own Crew Chief here, will be at the Verillo's Convention Center in Portland, Me. in just another fifteen days, 22nd Oct.  And I won't be coming empty-handed, ha.  So start saving those pennies, you hardworking airmen.   I will bringing copies of three of my pulp books to sell,  BROTHER GRIM,  CAPTAIN HAZZARD – PYTHON MEN OF THE LOST CITY & CAPTAIN HAZZARD – CITADEL OF FEAR. That's right, I will have both Captain Hazzard adventures to autograph and sell.  But only a very limited amount of these, so get there early.   I will also have some very cool comic book stuff to offer you fanatical comic buffs.  As you know I've written a comic prequel to the forthcoming horror movie, GOD OF VAMPIRES.  Well filmmaker Rob Fitz has also provided me wtih a handful of GOD OF VAMPIRES tee-shirts and limited editions movie posters.

                                      

The small reproduction above doesn't do it justice.  Please note this is a limited numbered collector's item, and all posters are signed by the lead actor and the film's director.  Horror fans, you do not want to pass up a real treasure like this.  GOD OF VAMPIRES should be in theaters around the country by the end of this year…early next at the latest.  This is your chance to pick up a piece of movie history.   The tee-shirts are black with the poster image on the front and a chinese vamire symbol on the backside.  They are very, very cool.  And yes, I will have copies of FRANK NG-HIRED GUN available too.

So there you have it.  Save those pennies and don't get caught short.  Want to finish up this week's log with mentioning how happy I was with the return of LOST this past week.  Season Three's opener was just packed with adventure and yes, more mystery.  Looks to be another great roller-coster ride.  Oh, and if you haven't checked out our gallery pages lately, you should.  I've added a few new pieces of art, including a very beautiful shot of actor Bela Lugosi as DRACULA, artist is Mark Maddox.

That's it, loyal airmen.  Take care, Ron, over and out.
