What You Can Expect Going Forward...

We are back and better than ever.

We have been busy the last 6 months releasing 11 books, and a short story collection, all while working through pre-production for a feature film. We also have been hard at work on three more short story collections (Swashbuckling, Horror, and Noir), the return of three series characters, and a new adventure novel that are all lined up for the final months of 2026.

We apologize for being absent, but we are absent no longer.

And that is thanks heavily to the one and only Jeff Pintabona. You know him from short stories he's dropped here on the page, and from his five books dropped since May of 2025. The man is a machine, and truly a craftsman of the Pulp Art. He will be joining the Pulp, Pipe, and Poetry team with short stories, book reviews, movie reviews, and, buckle up, a high adventure, serialized novel that is guaranteed to blow you away.

“The year is 1887. The Khalifa of Sudan prepares to invade Egypt but is starved of funds and sends a group of his elite warriors out into the desert to locate the lost city of Yalzira, where a fortune in rubies is reputed to be buried. Desperate to prevent this, the British government send Charles Dallaire, exiled Ruritanian mercenary to get the rubies first. Treasure, romance, sword fights, pistol play, giant scorpions, and booby traps abound as the two groups race to locate the city from which no man has ever returned alive.”

The Blood Rubies of South Sudan by Jeff Pintabona will be serialized in the coming year!

We will also be welcoming Jason L. Queen to the team, who will provide short stories and other thought provoking content.

Along with these exciting newcomers, you can expect the usual fair, just on a more consistent basis. Pulpy Short Stories, essays on Pulp, Adventure, Life in general, cigar and tobacco reviews, book previews, poetry... you name it, we got it.

You can also expect insider access for paid subscribers with Veritas Authors diving into the inspiration and the reasoning behind their writing, the way they choose their stylistic choices, and information on how they write dialogue, action, and everything else. There will also be updates and sneak peaks on Crime Story: Iron City.

We are excited for the future, and happy to have you as part of it.

Stay tuned for more coming this month.

After all, this is just the beginning.
