Greeting Loyal airmen and welcome back for this week's Flight Log.  Summer is really whipping past us August is just around the corner and lots of colleges across the country are getting ready for their Fall semesters.  Here in Fort Collins, we continue to bear up under unusually hot temperatures, really out of the ordinary for this locale.  Since moving here almost four years ago, the Air Chief has really enjoyed the camaraderie of fellow comic creators.  Enough so that we formed our own little social club if you will calling ourselves the FORT COLLINS COMICS COFFEE CLUTCH CREW and the first Sat of every month we meet at a local restaurant for breakfast.

As most of you will recall, last two weeks ago we were back east in New Hampshire for a family gathering.  Upon returning to Fort Collins, the Air Chief received an e-mail from one of our comic group asking if, “…because of the crash…” we would still be meeting at our usual place come 2nd Aug.  Crash?  “Crash? What crash?” we asked our friend.  Well, it seems that during our travels, an elderly gentlemen drove his car through the restaurant's front plate glass window. See picture above, which we just found on the internet a few days ago.  Ouch.  Happily no one was hurt, though we'd imagine a few of the patrons were a bit shaken. And we are happy to report the damage has been repaired the establishment if again fully functional and open for business.  So next Sat. morning the Air Chief and 20 of his best friends will once again be gathering for eggs, bacon, bagels and great conversations.

One of those topics we plan to share with our friends is a new book we just finished reading yesterday; RAGTIME COWBOYS by Loren D. Estleman.  Although we do plan on writing up a full review for our Pulp Fiction Review blog and posted it all over the internet, we thought we'd give you Loyal Airmen a heads up here in this log.  Estleman is an award winning author of both westerns and mysteries and the fun of this book its plot in which an aging Wyatt Earp hires Charlie Siringo, another popular figure of the Old West, to find a prize horse stolen from his ranch.  To do so Siringo travels to San Francisco and there teams up with a young, ex-Pinkerton detective named Dashiell Hammett.  The Air Chief absolutely loved this book and devoured it in two days.  If like us you enjoy history and that old “what if” so and so had met kind of plot, RAGTIME COWBOYS is a book you really should check out.

And lastly, we are happy to report that Airship 27 Productions has released its 15th title of the year, SINBAD – The New Voyages.  This is the third in this series of new Sinbad adventures and the first ever full length novel, as written by C.B. Harvey with cover art and interior illustrations by James Conahan. It is a grand fantasy adventure in the vein of the late Ray Harryhausen.  This is quickly becoming one of our most popular series and you can pick it up at Amazon.com in both hard copy and on Kindle. As ever, thank you so much for your continued support.

And there you have it for this week, Loyal Airmen.  The Air Chief is only a few weeks away from flying off to this year's Pulp Fest in Columbus, Ohio.  Hope to see many of you there as always. Till then take care.

Ron – Over & Out!

Greetings Loyal Airmen, well, we had to make an unexpected trip back to New Hampshire for a family funeral last week thus the skipped Flight Log last week.  Such events are always sad and difficult to deal with emotionally, but as Christians, we also take great comfort in the gathering of family and friends who come to share their memories of the departed.  Once those obligations were behind us, Valerie and the Air Chief took the opportunity to visit those special family members so dear to us…starting with my mother, Gabrielle “Gaby” Fortier.  That's the two of us above.  Mom will be turning 90 on Nov. 1st and is doing remarkably well.  She had a rough start to her year, having fallen just before Christmas and having had to have a new hip put in.  And yet, she endured all that suffering and pain, went through the rehab and is doing better than ever.  It was so wonderful to see her up and about and happy again.

Another trip was to visit my uncle Bob Fortier.  Our dad was one of six boys and Uncle Bob is the only still with us.  He's 88 now and still finds time, when up from Florida, to help his son, Bobby, with the fuel company he started lo those many years ago after he came home from the Korean conflict.  Fortier & Sons is still a big part of the community in my hometown of Somersworth, NH.  Uncle Bob was surprised to see us and didn't waste a second into launching into new jokes he'd heard.  He's a remarkable man with a heart of gold.  He and my late Aunt Lorette, had three children, Joan, Bob Jr. and Luanne.  Seen above are cousing Bobby, Uncle Bob Fortier and the Air Chief.  We were blessed with such a great family and we were so glad to be able to fit this short visit in.

Once back at the old Hangar 27 HQ, it was time to get busy again with all our various projects, both pulps and comics.  We love nothing better than combining the two fields and have done so with our latest comic book release from Redbud Studio – I.V. FROST – Scientific Detective.   Frost was an actual pulp character created and written by Donald Wandrai.  He wrote 18 Frost mysteries and all of them appeared in CLUE magazine.   Our comic features two brand new stories by the Air Chief with art by Gary Kato. The cover is by artist Jake Minor.  And the most important note of all, this is Redbud Studio's first ever full color comic, those magnificent hues provided by colorist Casey Beamis.  If all goes well, this comic will be available for sale at (www.IndyPlanet.com) by Aug 1st and publisher Rob Davis and the Air Chief will have copies on hand at our Airship 27 Productions tables at this year's Pulp Fest in Columbus, August 7th to 9th.  So be sure to stop by and grab a copy.  We think you'll like this comic version of a classic pulp hero.

And finally, for the past year and a half we've slowly been getting all our pulp titles up on Amazon's Kindle digitally.  Of the six SHERLOCK HOLMES – CONSULTING DETECTIVE books we'd put out, only Volume III had yet to be put up on Kindle.  Well, as of today, it is there available for all you E-readers and we are thrilled to offer it to you in this format, along with our usual hard copies as well.
And stay tuned, Volume VII is now in the works and should be coming your way by the first of 2015.
These Sherlock Holmes anthologies continue to be our best selling series ever.

And there you have it for this week, Loyal Airmen.  As ever thanks so much for stopping by.
See you back here next Friday.

Ron – Over & Out!

    
Happy 4th of July, Loyal Airmen!!!  What a glorious day when we stop to celebrate the greatest country in the world, the greatest freedom loving country in the history of mankind.  A land of freedoms, each paid for by the blood and sweat of its citizen founders, dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal and in this land, if you work hard and never give up, you will win out and become a success, regardless of your origins, race, sex or religion.  I LOVE AMERICA!!!  And all her men and women in the military who fought and died to make certain her shining light would never diminish, that she would forever remain a beacon of hope to those people still living under oppression dreaming of a better life.  God bless America!!!  Amen.

And a special thanks to artist Michael Kaluta for that gorgeous artwork above.  Like the Air Chief, Michael has a real fondness for aircrafts of all models and this illustration is perfect for today.

Early next week, Valerie and the Air Chief, will once again be flying back to New Hampshire, once again to visit friends and relatives. This was an unexpected trip, but one we're only too happy to take advantage of.  Whereas, we'll be gone an entire week, there will be no Flight Log next Friday, the 11th.  But long before then, our newest Airship 27 Productions pulp title will have been released.  So, even though we do not like to show off our books until they are actually on sale at Amazon, this week, again, because it is America's birthday, we're going to give all you Loyal Airmen a present.  A peek at the cover of our newest offering.

HITWOLF is a full length novel by writer Fred Adams, Jr. and our fourteenth release of the year.  In the mid 1970s, a vicious New Jersey gang boss wants to eliminate the other mobs in his area.  He teams up with an occult expert who has the ability to make men into werewolves.  To prove this, the mob boss has an ex-Green Beret home from Vietnam kidnapped and turned into such a monster.  The thing is, the occult dude has a special amulet that allows him to control the werewolf and they begin to use him to kill rival gang bosses.   Until….the Green Beret manages a way to overcome the power of the amulet and escapes!
And that's the gist of the plot for one of the coolest books the Air Chief has ever had the fun of reading.
Fred Adams Jr. is one hell of a writer.  The book has nine interior illustrations by Clayton Hinkle and a fantastic cover (see above) by Ingrid Hardy.  It should be available in hard copy at Amazon by July7th, this coming Monday, and then on Kindle a few days later.  Please do check it out, its something totally new and original.

And there you have it Loyal Airmen.  We hope you have an awesome holiday weekend and we'll see you back her in two weeks time.  Take care and God Bless…

Ron – Over & Out!

Greeting Loyal Airmen, it seems this is one of those weeks were we have lots and lots of things to talk about. So let's not waste another minute and get right to the fun stuff.

Our thirteenth Airship 27 Productions' book of the year is – SHERLOCK HOLMES : CONSULTING DETECTIVE Vol Six.  Now if you'll recall last week's Flight Log, we teased with a peek at a small piece of Pat Carabjal's cover painting.  So here it is in all its beauty.  The book contains five brand new Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson mysteries as written by Michael Black (he contributed two shorts), Alan J. Porter, Greg Hatcher and I.A. Watson.  This series has been our biggest seller and with this line up, we fully expect this new entry will be just as successful.  The book is on-sale at Amazon.com in hard copy and soon on Kindle.  Note, you can go in any Barnes & Nobles brick and mortar store and order a copy as well.  We hope you'll give it your support, Sherlock Holmes fans.

Speaking of classic heroes from literature, the Three Musketeers, as created by French writer Alexander Dumas are back in a brand new, rollicking, fun, action adventure television series from BBC AMERICA. Episode one aired last Sunday night and both the Air Chief and Valerie enjoyed it immensely and can't wait to see more.  We are told from friends in the UK, that the series over there is now in season two and equally as popular there.  Pictured above, left to right are the characters Portos, Dartagnan, Artos and Aremis.  The King's Musketeers.  The Air Chief has always loved these great swashbuckling heroes and is truly delighted with this new TV show.

Having grown up in the 1960s, both the Air Chief and Valerie had been aware of the hit Broadway musical,  JERSEY BOYS, based on the life of singer Frankie Valli and his group, THE FOUR SEASONS. Talk about the soundtrack to one's life, we grew up listening to their great songs on the radio.  And from reviews we found since its debut, the musical was/is a huge success.  Which is why we were thrilled to discover it had been turned into a movie directed by Clint Eastwood.  It was released last week and a few days ago we finally managed to get to a local cinema and see it.  As expected, the majority of the audience were seniors like ourselves and couldn't help but sing (quietly) along with the actors and the film moved along.  JERSEY BOYS is pure entertainment with a great human story about friendship and loyalty and the music catapulted us both back in time.  For nearly two and a half hours, we felt like teens again.  Coming out of the theater, we were laughing and smiling happily.  If you need to kick back and truly enjoy a marvelous movie, you can't do any better than JERSEY BOYS.

And speaking of movies, one of the most eagerly awaited film projects among pulp fans is the new DOC SAVAGE movie that is going to be written and directed by Shane Black.  Black is best known as the guy who re-booted Robert Downey Junior's career with a little mystery flick called KISS, KISS, BANG, BANG (is you haven't seen it, go find it now, you'll be glad you did) and recently wrote and directed IRON MAN 3 for Marvel Studios.  The thing is, Black has been a big pulp fan most of his life and he has been really eager to bring The Man of Bronze back to the big screen.  Most pulp fans know there was a big budget Doc Savage movie made in the 70s with Ron Ely in the role of the near super-human Doc. Unfortunately this was the time of the “camp” craze ala Adam West's silly Batman TV show and the writers opted to “camp up” Doc.  The result was a box-office bomb.  Gee, we wonder why?  So now, all these years later, Hollywood is going to try to do it again…only this time with the selection of Black as the creative vision behind the project, fans fully expect him to play it straight.  Sadly progress on the project has been moving at a snail's pace.  Then this past week it was reported that Black had met with actor Chris Hemsworth (yeah, the guy who plays Thor in the Marvel movies) to discuss his playing Doc Savage.  And you better believe that really stirred up tons excitement across the internet.

As for the Air Chief, we think Hemsworth is a great choice to play Doc.  He's handsome, tall and rugged…easily filling the visual requirements. And thanks to his experiences in the Thor series and Ron Howard's recent flick, RUSH, we know the guy can act.  Still, we find it difficult to get too overly excited because the same article that reported this news also made it quite clear that the studio behind the movie is in no hurry to get it done…and Black is committed to several other movies before he can even consider pre-production for a Doc Savage epic.  So, as much as we applaud the idea of Hemsworth playing Clark Savage Jr. it is way too soon to start applauding.  Should the studio hold off on actively moving ahead on the movie, years could go by and then Hemsworth might not be available due to a conflict of other commitments.  Sorry to be a pessimist here, that's not our nature.  The Air Chief wants to see this move as much as the next pulp fan…but again, this is way..way too soon to start cheering yet.

Ron (Over & Out)

Greeting Loyal Airmen, it is good to be back after last week's abbreviated Flight Log.  We truly hope all you Loyal Airmen who are also dads had a great Father's Day last Sunday. Ours was wonderful ever thanks to our great kids, Scott, Michelle, Kevin, Alan & Heather…and our super six grand kids, Kristi, Chelsea, Cora, Alex, Taryn & Logan.  We are so blessed with such an awesome family.

We were also delighted to hear that our colleagues who attended last weekend's Denver Comic Con has a fantastic time.  Good or them. Who knows, maybe next year the Air Chief will get another invite.  That would be nice.  Though the older we get, the more those big cons are a whole lot of effort too.  For those of you Loyal Airmen interested, the Air Chief will be attending two more shows this year; Pulp Fest in Columbus, Ohio in early August (7th to 10th) and be a guest at the second annual Rocky Mountain Comic Con in Denver during Halloween Week.  We'll be telling you lots more about both of these appearances as they draw nearer.

Earlier this past week, Airship 27 Productions THE MASKED RIDER – Tales of the Wild West Vol II. Its our twelfth book of the year and features the classic pulp cowboy hero in three new adventures by Erwin K.Roberts, Bill Craig and Roman Leary.  It features the above gorgeous cover by Andy Fish with twelve black and white interior illos by Tom Rubalcava.  The book is now on sale at Amazon in both hard copy and digitally on Kindle.  We hope you westerns fans will saddle up and pick up a copy.

Meanwhile Airship 27 Productions super talented Art Director, Rob Davis, is busy assembling our next title which will be volume six in our best selling series, SHERLOCK HOLMES – CONSULTING DETECTIVE.  Rob also does the interior illustrations for all our Sherlock Holmes books, whereas to paint the cover for this new volume, we recruited Pat Carabjal.  Pat, if you'll recall, did the stunning cover to our recent BROTHER BONES – TAPESTRY OF BLOOD.  As Pat is very good friends with actress/model Irene Huber of Brazil, he often puts her in many projects and this new Holmes cover will be no exception.  He is presenting her as Holmes' only ever female rival, Irene Adler.  Above is the initial black and white drawing of Ms. Huber as Ms. Adler…i.e. one real-life Irene portraying an fictional Irene.
Ha.  With fingers crossed will be releasing the book shortly and able to show the finished cover which is just incredible to behold.

And as we are speaking of beautiful Femme Fatales, that's as good a place as nay to segue into our next topic; Ms.Gina Carano.  A former mixed martial-arts fighter and regular on the TV series American Gladiator, Ms. Carano launched her movie career last year starring in the wall-to-wall actioner, HAYWIRE.  It was one of the Air Chief's favorite films of the year and made us a devoted Carano fan instantly.   She next appeared on a guest spot in the canceled sci-fi series, ALMOST HUMAN playing a killer robot.  Look out Terminator.  Again, she was fantastic.  Then she had a small supporting role in FAST & FURIOUS SIX, which we have yet to see.  But along the way, she found time to star in another actioner filmes on location in Puerto Rico called IN THE BLOOD.

We had seen the trailers for this film at the theaters months ago and we thrilled to learn she had a new movie coming out. So you can imagine our surprise when, while shopping at a local retail store last week we came upon a DVD copy of IN THE BLOOD?  What the hell, we thought?  Had we missed its release? Truth is, there was no release and for whatever idiotic reasoning, Fox opted to release it directly to home video. This kind of thing happens often in Hollywood and general indicates the studio doesn't have a whole lot of faith in the finished product. In this case, whoever it was that made that call is a blooming idiot.  Directed by John Stockwell, IN THE BLOOD is a punch-in-the-face mystery thriller that works supremely well as both a action vehicle for Gina and tells a really twisty, original story.  In other words there is an actual mystery at the core of this fast paced flick.  The Air Chief has said all along that Gina Carano is the new Queen of Action Movies and her potential to become a huge star is just beginning to prove itself.  It's about time someone in Hollywood woke up and took notice.

And finally we are delighted to show off this truly awesome sketch of our character, Brother Bones – The Undead Avenger.  It was rendered by our pal, T.Glenn Bane.  Glenn runs the gaming company that is currently putting together a Brother Bones role-playing-module which they hope to have out by the start of next year. We just were not aware of Glenn's artistic talents until seeing a few pieces he posted on Facebook.  Which then led to our suggesting he do a pin-up of Brother Bones.  And this is what he whipped up in a matter of days.  We absolutely love it.

And there you go, Loyal Airmen, for this third week of June 2014.  We hope all of you are having a great summer and we'll see you back here next week.  Until then, be good to yourself and others.  It's the little things that make the world better.

Ron – Over & Out!

Greetings Loyal Airmen.  Due to a personal family loss, we're taking the week off.  We trust you'll understand.  At the same time, the third Annual Denver Comic Con is now underway.  No, we won't be there but wish all our colleagues in attendance a great weekend.  If you are fan and live in the area, do get down to Denver.  The show is awesome.

See you back here in seven.

Ron – Over & Out.

Greeting Loyal Airmen, today's Flight Log will be short.  It really doesn't need a whole lot of words.  We just need to never forget this date in history.  On June 6, 1944, half the world was under the heel of monster whose dreams of global conquest seemed unstoppable.  Untold millions upon millions of people had been killed or enslaved throughout Europe and Asia.  This was clearly the darkest night in human history.

Then, on that morning, thousands of boats crossed the English Channel in the greatest invasion ever launched by free men.  From them emerged Americans, Englishmen, Canadians and their allies from other nations, all united with one goal, to storm those beaches of Normandy and liberate their fellow men from the grip of tyranny: to save the world.

Back in America, their Commander in Chief, President Franklin D. Roosevelt went on the radio and said this of them, as so many died on those sands, “They fight not for the lust of combat.  They fight to end conquest.  They fight to liberate…”

And so they did.  Today we remember “the greatest generation” and their sacrifices with grateful hearts.

And the lesson they taught us with their sacrifices.  Home, country, loved ones.  What would you fight and die for today?  The Air Chief's answer is and always will be …all of the above.

Ron – Over & Out!

Greetings Loyal Airmen, well summer is now rolling along, schools are closing all around us and kids are excited to be out swimming, camping, hiking, biking and the million of other things that are so much fun about this season.

Oh, and we've got as yet one more graduation, this time of our granddaughter Cora, seen above with Valerie and the Air Chief.  Cora graduated last weekend from Rocky Mountain High School right here in Fort Collins and we could not me more proud of her.  Next Fall she'll enroll in the Front Range Community College.  Look out world, here comes Cora Marie!!!

Last week we announced the release of our latest pulp title, BROTHER BONES – TAPESTRY OF BLOOD.  For you E-readers, the title is now also available on Kindle from Amazon.  As you'll recall, the gorgeous cover (seen above) by Pat Carabjal features the Undead Avenger along with a very sexy vampire, the latest addition to the Bones' cast, SISTER BLOOD.  Well earlier in the week Pat posted a picture of the young model who posed for him as he was designing the cover.

                    
And here she is, Ms Irene Huber, standing in front of a print of the finished cover.  She and Pat are good friends and he has used her often in his work.  In fact he is now hard at work on a new Sherlock Holmes cover for Airship 27 Productions on which the notorious Irene Adler will appear.  And sure enough, as poetic as can be, one live Irene will model for a fictitious Irene.  We've seen preliminary sketches and they look fantastic.

Speaking of preliminary art, Pat often does up several different compositions to show his publishers.  He did the same thing for the Brother Bones book and we thought you Loyal Airmen would enjoy seeing the one we passed on.  It is still a gorgeous piece of artwork and deserves to be seen and appreciated.

And there you have it for this week, Loyal Airmen, as ever, thanks for stopping by.

Ron – Over & Out!

Greeting Loyal Airmen, we are so happy to be back home at Hangar 27 after a whirlwind, hit & run trip back East last weekend to attended our granddaughter's graduation from the University of New Hampshire. Go Wildcats!  On a day that started with a heavy downpour, the clouds parted and the sun appeared only minutes before the 3,000 students that made up the class of 2014 marched out onto the field in front of the Whitmore Stadium.

Among those proud and happy students was Ms. Kristi Valori Leclerc, accepting her Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology.  Here's a great shot of her taken only moments after the ceremonies concluded.  Note, the gentlemen behind her left shoulder with the tan baseball cap is her extremely proud father, our son-in-law Chris Leclerc.  Kristi was an exceptional student while at UNH and graduated with multiple honors and achievements.  In the Fall she will enter the Masters program at the University of Georgia and we've no doubt she is going to excel there as well.

If you'll not the location of her tassel, you can tell this photo above of Kristi with her oh-so-proud grandparents, was taken the night before graduation during the Honors Convocation.  As our very first grandchild, Kristi has always had a special place in our hearts and Valerie and the Air Chief couldn't be happier for this wonderful, beautiful, amazingly wonderful young person she has become.  That she is going to do great things with her life, we've absolutely no doubts whatsoever.  And so to Kristi and all the college grads of 2014, we say, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Of course just because the Air Chief is out of the Hangar doesn't mean operations at Airship 27 HQ came to halt. No way.  While we were away enjoying out time with family, Art Director, Rob Davis, was busy getting out not one, but two new Airship 27 titles – GREEN LAMA – MYSTIC WARRIOR.  It contains four stories by Peter Miller, Kevin Noel Olson, Nick Ahlhelm and Robert Craig with interior illustrations by Neil Foster and a cover by Isaac Nascilla.  The book is now on sale at Amazon in both hard copy and on their Kindle. 

And the second just released to day was in the Air Chief's newest collection of Brother Bones stories…BROTHER BONES – TAPESTRY OF BLOOD.  It features five tales of the Undead Avenger as spot illustrated by Rob Davis with a stunning cover by Pat Carbajal.  We think you'll like.  And it too is available now at Amazon.com in hard copy and shortly in Kindle.  This one was two years in the making and is the third title in the series.

Meanwhile one of the books now in production that we are extremely excited about is the new SHERLOCK HOLMES – CONSULTING DETECTIVE, VOL VI.  It will contain five brand new Sherlock Holmes mysteries.  At present Rob is busy doing interior illustrations while super artist/painter Pat Carbajal has begun work on the cover.  Above is a peek at one portion of it featuring the irascible Dr.Watson.  Trust me, Loyal Airmen, when you see the final painting, you'll be delighted.

And there you have it for this week as we get all ready to celebrate Memorial Day and the unofficial start of the summer season in the good old USA.  Please, as ever, do pause at least once during this holiday weekend to remember all the men and women who have served in our military forces throughout the history of our great country.  Freedom has never been free, it is constantly paid for by the sacrifices of all our veterans; those who came home and those who did not.  May God bless them all and continute to bless the United States of America.

Ron Over & Out!

OFF TO NEW HAMPSHIRE –  As Valerie and the Air Chief are in New Hampshire this weekend attending their granddaughter's graduation from the University of New Hampshire, there just wasn't enough time to put together a new Flight Log this week.  Sorry about that, Loyal Airmen.  We will be back next Friday for sure.  Till then, take care,
Ron – Over & out

                                                                                  +++

Greeting Loyal Airmen, once again the Air Chief had the fun of being a guest at Gryphon's Games & Comics here in Fort Collins, CO for Free Comic Book Day last Saturday.  Sherman & Liana Sanders, the owners of the shop always do it up big and local comic fans have a blast.

Here's a shot of the Air Chief, one of six comic local comic creators who were guests at the shop.  We are told over 1,400 people attended…no surprise there as the line from the front entrance through the shop never let up since the second they opened the doors.  A huge thanks to the Shermans and especially all our great Fort Collins comic fans.  Can't imagine what next year will be like.  Ha.

Recently one of our regular Airship 27 pulp writers, Aaron Smith of New Jersey, took a vacation to New Orleans with his lovely wife.  It is a city they had bought longed to see and enjoyed their short visit immensely.  During their stay, they visited several old and historical cemeteries in the city and it was while there they came upon this tombstone marker for a Captain Michel Fortier.  Upon closer inspection they discovered a newer plaque which also seem to promote this American patriot with my family name.

On this one he is Colonel Michel Fortier.  The Air Chief has always been fascinated by ancestry and this came as a really pleasant surprise.  What with today's internet and our abilities to search the world for historical data, you can believe in the weeks and months ahead, the Air Chief will be surging the web to see what we can discover about the Colonel, his life and his devotion to our country.  Stay tuned, hopefully there will be lots more to come.

                                
And speaking of things to come, hopefully our next Flight Log will display the cover to our newest Airship 27 Productions pulp title – BROTHER BONES – TAPESTRY OF BLOOD.  Our Undead Avenger, pictured above by artist Rob Davis, returns in a brand new collection of gruesome action stories by yours truly.  This book was a real labor of love as we love writing this characters.  So stay tuned.

And next week the Air Chief and Valerie fly back to New Hapshire to attend our granddaughter, Kristi LeClerc's graduation from the University of New Hampshire.  We are so proud of her and truly looking forward to this trip back home.  Expect the Flight Log to be posted a few days early.  Till then stay safe and happy.

Ron – Over & Out!
