The illustration above is one of six done by the talented Rob Davis for the stories featured in my first pulp book, BROTHER GRIM. The book is selling well, both at the publishers and via Amazon.com, where it’s picked up several really gracious reviews. If you’ve been thinking of picking up a copy, please do. Aside from my own humble piggy bank, I’d very much like to be able to give both Rob and cover artist, Tom Floyd, a decent profit check for their fantastic efforts on this project.

Please know, I am always happy to autograph any of my books, or comics you have or will soon purchase. If you would like me to sign something, simply drop me an e-mail with that request and I will in return give you my mailing address. As long as you send your book with a self-stamped envelope for me to return it, then we’re all set.

Note, I purposely put my e-mail address in the back of BROTHER GRIM in hopes readers would send me letters in regards to the book. Feedback is always a valuable commodity in the writing game. While at recent conventions, I personally made that same plea as I gave out copies of the book. Yet in all that time, nada.
Come on folks, I sincerely do not bite. Ha. So if you’ve read either BROTHER GRIM or THE HOUNDS OF HELL, and have a few minutes, please, drop me a line and let me know your thoughts. Would you like to see more of these kind of books, or should I try other venues? I do listen to your suggestions and appreciate them greatly.

Finally, the Hollywood rumor mill has it that both Steven Spielberg and George Lucas have agreed on a script for Indiana Jones 4. Cool. Same folks say they are creating a young sidekick to play off Ford, who is obviously now a Senior Jones. All well and good, but my take on all this is, why bother? Why not go the James Bond route and simply get another young, virile actor to take on the role and keep the franchise alive. Who says that only Harrison Ford can play Indiana Jones? Think about it.

And that’s it for this week, amigos. Over and out, Ron.
