Earth Station One Episode 263 – Farewell to Justified
Fire in the hole! One of our favorite series has come to an end and the ESO crew has been accused of a lot of things but being inarticulate ain’t one of ’em. Mike, Mike, Thom Trainer, and award winning authors Bobby Nash and Van Allen Plexico stay frosty and discuss their favorite moments of the series over some Kentucky bourbon. We are also joined by Diana Leto and professional puppeteer Noel MacNeal to promote a very special project, The Show Me Show. And we toss the former Bear performer out of the Big Blue House and into the Geek Seat! Plus the usual Rants, Raves, Khan Report, and Shout Outs!

TITUS!

I drove up to Athens, GA tonight to catch comedian Christopher Titus as he was in town at The Morton Theater. It was a small venue, but a nice one. Both Titus and Rachel Bradley performed and both were hilarious. Afterward, they took photos with the crowd and sold some merch. I came home with a couple of signed DVDs that are really cool and the photo above.

All in all, an absolutely fun night.If you get a chance to catch a stop on his current tour, I highly recommend it.

ABOUT OPERATION: SILVER MOON--

TOP SECRET - EYES ONLY
ROMANIA JULY 1943

Behind enemy lines, Agent Tom Lupis of The American War Department uses his special skills to thwart the Axis takeover of the world. What makes Agent Lupis such a unique agent is his gift/curse. Tom Lupis is a werewolf. When war breaks out, Lupis and his beastly alter ego agree to work together for the greater good and end the Axis threat once and for all.

In Operation: Silver Moon, Nazi agents have discovered a long lost army of the undead that they plan to unleash on an unsuspecting world. Agent Lupis is sent in to deal with the threat, which brings him into contact with the vampire lord known as Vlas. Can Lupis and Vlas put aside their ages old differences and work together to stop the Nazi's Army of the Undead?

WHAT YEAR IS IT AGAIN?


I joined Sean Taylor's Writer's Roundtable discussion again this week. This time around we're talking about favorite time periods to write.

"My preference is to do stories set in modern times so I can explore the world outside my window." -- Bobby Nash

This week's Writer Roundtable is another from the open call for ideas and topics. With many of the writers I know and love being period writers, this one really grabbed my attention when a reader suggested it. So keep those suggestions coming and we'll keep sending them to the roundtable for the peanut gallery to respond to.

MOONSTONE REVEALS THE DAY OF THE DESTROYERS!

I wrote the introduction to this amazing new book.
Bobby

PRESS RELEASE:

From the epoch of the Great Depression when the pulps were in full bloom, among the millionaire playboys who donned masked avenger garb, there were the super spies from Secret Agent X to those in Thrilling Spy Stories.

It is with great pleasure then that Moonstone Books presents Day of the Destroyers, an all-original prose linked anthology. Each story is part of a larger arc wherein Jimmie Flint, Secret Agent X-11 of the Intelligence Service Command battles to prevent the seditionist Medusa Council from engineering a bloody coup overthrowing our democracy.

Inspired by actual events from the 1930s, alluded to in the recent Roosevelts: An Intimate History PBS documentary, a grouping of extremist politicians and moneyed interests sought to "take back" the country from President Roosevelt. Day of the Destroyers pits the ever-resourceful Jimmie Flint against these forces.

He fights across the country preventing an aerial assault on Chicago’s rail lines, destroying a secret factory of gas meant to enthrall millions in New Mexico, to racing to stop a machine of fantastic destruction in Manhattan. He’s aided by his girlfriend, intrepid newspaper reporter Kara Eastland, his teenaged protégé Tim Fallon, as well as pulp era masked vigilantes the Green Lama, the Phantom Detective, and the Black Bat. Joining the fight are real historical figures including General Smedley (the original Devil Dog) Butler and war correspondent Martha Gellhorn. Each exciting chapter-story in the anthology builds to a final showdown between the redoubtable X-11 and his arch-nemesis, Colonel Lucian Starliss, head of the Medusa Council.

Writers who contributed to this one-of-a-kind collection are Pulp Factory award winner Adam Lance Garcia, Macavity and Shamus nominated Jeri Westerson, pulpmeisters Tommy Hancock and Ron Fortier, former Marvel Comics editor Eric Fein, Zeroids writer Aaron Shaps, former LAPD lead detective Paul Bishop, Moonstone EiC Joe Gentile, and Chester Himes award winner Gary Phillips. Introduction by Pulp Ark award winner Bobby Nash.
