Well, there’s more good news! No, I’m not here to announce a new story being published. Although, I have been on a roll the last few months, what with Zeppelins over Afrika, Radio Rita and Purple Scar vol. 4 all being published in the last six months.
What I have is the pleasure to announce that Radio Rita volume 1 has been nominated for multiple 2023 Pulp Factory Awards. For both of you not in the know, The Pulp Factory Awards were created to honor outstanding works in the New Pulp field. The winners of these awards are to be announced at Windy City Pulp & Paper convention to be held this coming April in Chicago.
Radio Rita has been nominated for Best Pulp Anthology, Best Pulp Short Story, Best Cover Art and Best Interior Illustrations. I am very pleased with these nominations. I’m not surprised, but still pleased. Why am I not surprised? Simply put, Radio Rita is wonderful book from cover to cover. The cover art is absolutely gorgeous, the interior art outstanding with many beautiful illustrations helping tell the great stories within.
I have the honor to be included among those stories. The other three stories are wonderful examples of the Pulp genre and I feel lucky to be included with such talented writers. My story, Frequency may not be my finest work, but it certainly right ranks up there in my own estimation. It has also quickly become among my favorite stories as well. It was just a fun story to tell from the first word to the last.
The other stories are from three of the most talented New Pulp writers out there making this an outstanding volume of Pulp adventure.
If it sounds like I’m proud, I am. Airship 27 has published many volumes of New Pulp adventure. I have had stories in more than a few. But, I am not certain I have participated in a volume nominated for awards this many times. Something that gives me much satisfaction. Any fan of Pulp fiction or aviation adventures should take a good look at this book. It will be worth it.
And keep im mind while you do that Pulp Factory Award voting is open to the public. I’m just saying . . .
So keep reading out there and I’ll be back with more news soon . . . I hope.
