Author Teel James Glenn writes a fast-paced action fantasy with deep homage to the pulp fiction classics of the 30s and 40s. Like other stories from this era (The Shadow, Doc Savage, Fu Manchu, Tarzan), SKULLMASK combines detecting with magic. The settings, too, (western, exotic tropical islands, and inner-city gang hangouts) reflect the golden age of pulp fiction. WEIRD TALES OF THE SKULLMASK makes for a fun and exciting read.

It is with considerable excitement that I make my October announcements:
On the 7th The Horsed Thief: a virtual tale of old Basra premiers from Eternal Press. A swashbuckling love story with a twist.
On the `5th The Escape Artist premiers from Whiskey Creek Press. A thriller set on the eve of the Millenium.
At the end of the month Weird Tales of the Skullmask comes out from BooksforABuck! A collection of horror adventure tales in the pulp tradition.
And this weekend I signed contracts for two more books with Whiskey Creek Press:
The Devil Wore Greasepaint a collection of horror stories with a theatrical theme and Gaslight Occurrences: the Steampulp Adventures of Augustus Argent. Both are due out next year.
And the month is not half over!!!!
It says in part:
“Death At Dragonthroat is just a hoot! If the quotes at the beginning of each chapter weren't enough, (example: “Everything looks good in a heap by the bed.”—Wolff’s first law of fashion), TK seems to open his mouth at every inopportune moment; causing problems for one and all. His excellent combat skills are very well written and, overall, I would really like to read more about Mr. TK Mitchell. This could be the beginning of an excellent series!”
