Greetings airmen.  Well, the month of October had graced New Hampshire with her annual display of Fall colors.  I've always loved New Hampshire in October and when I was in the army, it was the time of the year I most missed being home.   A few days ago, Valerie brought her digital camera with her on our daily two mile hike along the Salmon Falls River.  She snapped these two magnificent shots.

The old saying is one picture is worth a thousand words and seeing these, I'm not about to debate that.  Sometimes in life you just have to slow down, take a deep breath and look around you.  Really look!  See the wonders of nature, the touch of God in everything.  Powerful, life-affirming stuff.

What with the Fall here, we New Englanders get it into our psyhes that pretty soon all those leaves will be down. That a cold northern wind from Canada will soon be slapping on our doors and it's time to get ready for frigid winter season.  Likewise, my Wild Cat Books team and I are gearing down, wrapping up our last couple of book projects for 2006 and making time to enjoy the coming holidays.  To that end we've decided to release two more pulp books and call a very good year.   The first of these came out this past week and we are very, very excited about it.

SECRET AGENT X was by far one of the most popular and successful pulp heroes of the 1930s.  Now, complete with his original magazine logo and all, the Man of a Thousand Faces is back in four brand new adventures by Steven Atkins, Mark Justice, Brian Meredith and Kevin Noel Olson.   It's a great collection and all art in the book, to include that gorgeous cover above, is by our own Ace of Illustrators, Rob Davis.  Please, go over to our Air Fare page and click on to any Wild Cat Books link.   Or simply go directly to (http://www.Lulu.com/wildcatbooks)    Anthony Schiavino designed the book and I honestly think it is his best for us so far.  Wait till you see what he has coming up next for our final 2006 offering;  THE MOON MAN.  Not to be missed, pulp-lovers.

One more week and it's off to Varillo's in Porltand, Me. for the Comic Con.  Counting the days.  Hope to see lots of you airmen there.

All for another week.  Again, look at those river pictures and go out there and enjoy what is yours for free.   It will do you all a world of good.   Ron, over and out.
