Greetings Loyal Airmen, well time is once again up to its old tricks and pretty much moving through the new year like a runaway freight train.  And dragging us all along for the ride.  The Air Chief is so happy to announce the first new Airship 27 Productions title for 2012 and it's a brand new Sherlock Holmes novel.

SHERLOCK HOLMES – The Baron's Revenge was written by writer Gary Lovisi and is a sequel to an actual story by Arthur Conan Doyle; “The Case of the Illustrious Client.”  It is a gripping suspense thriller with a madman out to destroy both the Great Detective and his loyal ally, Dr.Watson.  It features a cover by Rob Davis and digital painter Shane Evans, with nine black and white interior illustrations by Rob.  The renewed popularity of Holmes via the new movie with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law plus BBC's new “Sherlock” series has rekindled a huge world wide interest in this amazing fictional character and we've no doubt this book is going to be a huge seller.  You can pick up a copy by clicking on our airship logo to the left of this column.  Our Airship 27 Hangar store is selling digital PDF copies you can download on most e-readers for only $3, or you can go to (www.IndyPlanet.com) to purchase a hard copy for only $13.99 (plus shipping & handling).  Again, we are thrilled to get the new year rolling along with this great book.

Another book we hope you'll pick up is FINAL FENWAY FICTION.  Edited by Adam Patcher, and published by Cornerstone Book Publishers, it features a collection of stories, essays and fiction all dealing with the Boston Red Sox and their historical park, Fenway.  This year Fenway celebrates its 100th Anniversary as a national baseball park where millions of have come to enjoy America's favorite pastime.  It was an honor for the Air Chief to have been a part of this remarkable book.  Our contribution is a short story, our very first ever published pulp sports story, entitled “The Hot Dog Kid” and it tells the story of a young player coming up from the minors to the “big show.”  The book is now available at Amazon and will soon be on sale via all the big book selling distributors.  It features a stunning cover by Colorado based artist Daniel Ibanez with design work done by our good friend Rob Davis.  If you're a sports lover, you need to pick up this book.

                
                             150th SHOW GOES LIVE TONIGHT!!!
Finally, as many of you Loyal Airmen are aware, the Air Chief has co-hosted a comic book podcast known as Zone 4 for the past six months or so and had a blast doing it.  Along with co-host Brant Fowler & Gordon Dymowski, the three of us record a new episode every Saturday night and then they are posted at the Comic Related website the following Friday evening.  Whereas Brant started the show nearly three years ago, today, Jan 27th marks the 150th episode of Zone 4.  To help celebrate this monumental achievement, all of us thought it would be wild to record the show “live.”  It will be a two-hour gab-fest of craziness as the three of us welcome back former hosts, lots of past guests and just cut up with whatever pops into our heads to celebrate.

You can listen into the show by going to the following link at 7 pm EST. and logging on.

Ron – Over & Out!
