Welcome to Belle's!

Pull up a chair. Light up a Camel if you want. But whatever you do, just don't get in the way. You see, I don't want to miss the show, and Evelyn's already making her way to middle of the spotlight.

That guy nursing the Scotch in the corner. That's Rick Ruby. He's a private dick, a gumshoe for hire. Me and Bobby here, along with some other guys, we're just, well, working for him a bit and making sure we chronicle his cases for him.

And those dames sitting with him. Well, one's his secretary, but the other two, the curvy blonde and the one in the furs and the pearls... well, let's just say that if they were playing cards, poor Rick would be the pot in the middle between 'em. And not just them. Evelyn's got her hooks in the guy too. Must be some nice kind of problem to have, if you ask me.

But not Rick's other problems though. He gets some pretty dangerous cases, and he doesn't always come back without bruises and bullet holes. But he's one of the best in New York when you need a private dick to be in your corner.

If you're new to the club, check out all the stuff Belle has waiting for you. You can check out a sample from the book, get to know me and Bobby and the guys a little better, find out where to buy your own copy of Rick's adventures, and lots more too.

But more about that later.

The music's starting, and Belle's giving me the evil eye. She knows how upset Evelyn gets if you talk during her set. And let's be honest, who'd want to? So... sshhh...

SO, WHAT DID I DO TODAY?

I had a really good day of writing today. I wrote well over 3,000 words plus polishing to finish my Major Lacy story for Pro Se Press’ Pulp Obscura line, one day ahead of the deadline, which is always nice.

I also spent a few hours doing some marketing and promotion, both very important to the writing business.
I posted information around the web about the latest episode of the Earth Station One podcast (http://www.esopodcast.com/), the latest New Pulp Table Talk column (http://www.newpulpfiction.com/), and posted information for and set up interviews regarding the recent release of The Ruby Files from Airship 27, which can be found at the following:

And there's still much to do. I have another short story due this week and a novella due on April 1st for Pulp 2.0 Press' upcoming jungle girl anthology. Plus, there's that Domino Lady novel for Moonstone Books that needs my attention.

Wow. I'd better get back to work. :)

ESO Episode 102: Reboots, Reimaginings, Remakes & Relaunches. Oh my!

Stop if you’ve heard this one before! The ESO crew gets deja vu all over again as we discuss the hot button topic of remakes in TV, movies, comic books, and more. Are they just money grabs or is imitation indeed the sincerest form of flattery? Mike Faber, Mike Gordon, and Bobby Nash point out the good, bad, and completely unnecessary. We also talk to Rebecca Perry about her spine-tingling experiences at the Days of the Dead show in Atlanta and artist Anthony Owlsey takes a turn in The Geek Seat. All this, plus the usual Rants, Raves, Shout Outs and Khan report!

Beauology 101: Beauology 101 Pop Quiz

Read Beau Smith's column... Or else.

Over at his Beauology column at the Westfield Comics site, writer Beau Smith posted a few questions about comic reading and collecting. You can read it at http://westfieldcomics.com/blog/interviews-and-columns/beauology-101-beauology-101-pop-quiz/comment-page-1/#comment-26264. I thought they were interesting questions so I posted my answers and wanted to also share them here as well.

Swing on by Beau's column and leave him your answers. I'm sure he'd love to hear your thoughts.

Bobby

1. How do you store your comics these days: long boxes, crates, shelves, or do you even keep the comics after you read them?

BN: I use these plastic totes with lids. They are about the size of a small comic box and I love them.

2. Do you try new comics every week or month, or stick with the same ones?

BN: I would pick up comics weekly, but as a writer my finances tend to be either feast or famine so I get them when I can. I have certain series that I follow and I do try to check out new titles when I can.

3. Do you continue to buy the same comics each month even though, in your heart of hearts, you know that it no longer is as compelling as it once was, or just because it’s a habit?

BN: I used to be that guy, but stopped buying books I wasn't enjoying. The only book I actively collect is Fantastic Four and I even stopped buying it when I realized that the book was no longer satisfying me. I eventually picked it back up when Dwayne McDuffie took over. Collecting the FF is tough. There have been a lot of poorly executed runs on that title.

4. Do you bag and board all your comics, or just the ones that are old, worth money, or have sentimental value?

BN: I eventually get around to it just to protect them. I tend to put 2 books per bag/board, one on each side of the board. I love my comics. If I bought it you can bet your ass I read it. I doubt my collection is worth al;l that much, although there may be one or two worth a buck or twelve.

5.Do you grade your own comics?

BN: Nope. Wouldn't even know how to begin.

6. Do you re-read your comics?

BN: You bet.

7. Do you read comics online or on devices such as smartphones, iPad, tablets, etc?

BN: Not really. I might run across something and check it out, but I have not fully delved into digital comics reading as yet. Maybe one day.

8. Do you sell or trade your comic books?

BN: Sometimes, but not often.

9. Do you keep inventory of your comics?

BN: I made the attempt once upon a time, but now that my comics take up the equivalent of a small room I don't even bother trying.

10. Do you ever give your comics away?

BN: I have before, but not often. I have also traded books, but it's not something that really comes up a lot.

OPENING THE RUBY FILES!

Cover Art: Mark Wheatley

I'm excited to announce that The Ruby Files Vol. 1 is now available. This was a fun character to create (with my friend and frequent partner-in-crime Sean Taylor) and write. I hope you'll give The Ruby Files a try. It is available in print and digital editions. Links below and on the site.

Happy reading.

PRESS RELEASE:

GANGSTERS & GUNMOLLS

Back Cover

Airship 27 Productions dons its tough-guy mantle, as it premiers its newest pulp star in THE RUBY FILES.

It was the 1930s and America was locked in the grip of the Great Depression. Gangsters controlled the major cities while outlaws roamed the rural back country. It was a time of Speak Easy gin-joints, Tommy-guns, fast cars and even faster dames. This is the world of New York based Private Investigator Rick Ruby, a world he is all too familiar with. From the back alleys of Gotham to the gold laden boulevards of Hollywood, Ruby is the shamus with a nose for trouble and an insatiable appetite for justice. So if you’ve got a taste for hot lead and knuckle sandwiches, tug your cuffs, adjust your fedora and light up a Lucky, a brand new pulp detective is coming your way.

Created by pulp masters, Bobby Nash & Sean Taylor, Rick Ruby echoes the tales of Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe while offering up his own brand of two-fisted action. Joined by fellow pulp smiths Andrew Salmon & William Patrick Maynard, these modern scribes of purple prose present a quartet of tales to delight any true lover of private eye fiction. This instant classic features a gorgeous Mark Wheatley cover and eight evocative black and white illustrations by Rob Moran.

This is a book that harkens back to the classic black and white Warner Brothers gangster movies that featured James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart and Edward G. Robinson to name a few. The atmosphere is gritty with a no-nonsense hero pulp fans are going to applaud from the first story to the last. And when that last tale comes to a close, you can bet we haven’t seen the last of Rick Ruby, Private Eye.

About Deadly Games! Author Bobby Nash:

From his secret lair in the wilds of Bethlehem, Georgia, Bobby Nash writes. A multitasker, Bobby is certain that he doesn’t suffer from ADD, but instead he... ooh, shiny.

When he finally manages to put fingers to the keyboard, Bobby writes novels (Evil Ways; Fantastix; Deadly Games!), comic books (Fuzzy Bunnies From Hell; Demonslayer; Domino Lady vs. The Mummy; Lance Star: Sky Ranger “One Shot”), short prose (A Fistful of Legends; Full Throttle Space Tales Vol. 2: Space Sirens; Green Hornet Case Files; Tales of The Rook; Zombies vs. Robots), novellas (Lance Star: Sky Ranger; Ravenwood: Stepson of Mystery; Nightbeat; Blackthorn: Thunder on Mars), graphic novels (Yin Yang; I Am Googol: The Great Invasion; Bloody Olde Englund), and even a little pulp fiction (Domino Lady; Secret Agent X; The Avenger; The Spider) just for good measure. And despite what his brother says, Bobby swears he is not addicted to buying DVD box sets and can quit anytime he wants to. Really.

When not writing fiction, Bobby attends conventions and writers conferences, promotes his books, teaches writing courses and panels, and is a part-time extra in movies and television. Bobby is also the co-host of the weekly Earth Station One podcast (http://www.esopodcast.com/) and writes for New Pulp (http://www.newpulpfiction.com/) and All Pulp (http://allpulp.blogspot.com/) news sites.

I'M THE TAXMAN!

It's not often I get to use a Beatles title here on the blog. Yep. It's that time of year again. I took care of my taxes today, which left me in a bit of a foul mood for reasons I won't go into here. Regardless, however, I managed to get some writing and writing-related work done so that was a good thing. More writing on Friday. Lots to do and so little time.

I auditioned for a recurring background role on USA Network's show, Necessary Roughness, which begins filming its second season in Atlanta (doubling for New York) next week. Fingers crossed. There's another audition for a sci fi pilot this weekend I plan to go out for as well. Wish me luck.

Speaking of acting, I've started putting together some ideas for photos to have at conventions. Here's what I've put tohgether so far. What do you think? Does this look like something you'd want to purchase at a con for an autograph?

Right now though it's time for a little TV then calling it a night.

Sweet dreams.

Bobby

A LITTLE TASTE... FIRST BITE'S FREE!

Got a little writing in today. Here’s a taste. The eagle-eyed among you will be able to figure out for what project this story if being written.

   The smells of the old warehouse mingled together to form a sinus-clogging odor that was equal parts rotted, moldy wood, dog urine, and something that reminded her of something she once scrapped off the bottom of an old pair of gardening shoes. Despite all that she managed to resist the urge to sneeze. The compulsion to retch, on the other hand, was not so easily controlled.
   Somehow, the thought of throwing up didn’t seem all that serious in the face of her situation. Knowing that trained killers with weapons were pursuing her helped her keep focus. Nita was armed. The .45 looked huge clutched in her demure grip, but appearances can be quite deceptive. Nita Van Sloan was fully capable of handling the weapon.

Happy writing.

I LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER!

Art: Rick Johnson

Writing comics is fun.


Had a busy day of writing today. Finished the 1st draft of a graphic novel script and sent it off to my writing partner for his approval. This has been a fun project and I'm excited for the day I can talk a little about it. I also received the final art on another comic project today as well. This one is called Operation Silver Moon by myself and Rick Johnson. It's a lot of fun and clocks in at 98 pages of story. First up is shopping it around to publishers. Fingers crossed.

I love it when projects come together.

Tomorrow, it's back to work on the two prose projects due next. The Domino Lady novel for Moonstone Books and a story for Pulp Obscura's The Cases of Major Lacy for Pro Se Press.

Busy days ahead.

And I couldn't be happier.

An explosion at a nuclear power plant triggers a series of events that catapult Yin and Yang into a battle not only for their own survival, but also the world as they know it.

If you run... they will find you!

TAPPING AWAY AT THE KEYBOARD...

I had a great writing day today. I wrote a couple thousand words of prose, kickstarting the Domino Lady novel for Moonstone Books into gear. Plus, I wrote 7 pages of a graphic novel script that is nearing the finish line. I can't disclose the title of that one yet, but when I can you'll hear it here first.

I ended the night reading over proofs for my story in the upcoming The Ruby Files anthology that is scheduled for a March release from Airship 27. Made some notes and sent it back to the designer for the final pass. I still have some interview questions to answer before calling it a night. What a fun, busy day.

So, how was your day?
 
Bobby

UPDATE: 1 a.m. - Interview questions answered. Whew. Long, but interesting interview. Will read over answers in the morning before sending them off. Now it's time for a little TV before bed.
