MAMA TRIED TO GET 5 STARS! SHE SUCCEEDED!

Big outlaw thanks to Paul R. McNamee for leaving a great 5 STAR review for the MAMA TRIED crime anthology published by Down and Out Books. Much appreciated. Read the full review at HERE.

MAMA TRIED is a strong and inspired crime fiction anthology with variety

Joe Lansdale prefaced one of his most famous horror stories with a note that is was "a story that does not flinch."

Although Lansdale is not in this anthology, I think that concept and spirit permeate this anthology. These stories do not flinch. They dig into criminal worlds, telling taut stories that kept me engaged throughout.

As you can see from the cover, each story here is inspired by a classic "outlaw country" song - whether by title alone or riffing on the lyrics as well. The tales run the gamut from law enforcement point-of-view to criminal p.o.v. Criminals within criminals, good cops who might use questionable methods, meth biker gangs, alpaca farms, dog fights, booze running, war veterans, jobs and drug deals gone wrong, lovers who are no good for one another - they're all here. One of the anthology's strongest points is its variety.

These nineteen tales of inspired outlawry are well worth the read, especially if you enjoy crime fiction and/or outlaw country.

I had a great time working on this one.

THE DUMBEST WRITING ADVICE I'VE HEARD IN A LONG TIME!

Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it!

I'm always amazed how often I am told what things I HAVE TO DO to be a writer. The only thing required to be a writer is to WRITE. Right? :)

On a writing group today, it was stated that EVERY writer had to smoke weed to be successful. Really? Every writer? So, I guess if I want to be successful, I now have to smoke weed, drink excessive amounts of coffee, stay drunk all the time, smoke cigarettes (when I'm not smoking weed, apparently), not sleep, live in solitude, and have a shitty relationship with pretty much everyone. These are all bits of advice over the years I've been told that EVERY writer must do.

This sort of thing makes my head hurt.

This month, patrons got a couple of extra treats as we journeyed beyond the final frontier with the scripts and my behind the scenes memories from working on the Starship Farragut "Conspiracy of Innocence" and Star Trek Continues "Pilgrim of Eternity" Star Trek fan films. I shared the scripts with all of my patrons, who are the first outside of the cast, crews, and

production staff who worked on the shows. A true rarity. 

A comfy chair.

TODAY'S OFFICE...

The view from my writing desk.

Today's office. A little off center so it's more like Gotham villain's lair. Trying to enjoy the nice weather and get some writing done. #amwriting

I love writing outside. It's peaceful and there are fewer interruptions.

About FRIED PICKLE NOIR Book 5: RUSSET'S REVENGE!

Celebrate Scairy Tales Noir ANNIVERSARY with "Russet's Revenge"!
It was seven years ago I picked up a sketchbook for the express purpose to do something creative to make up for not having a career in music after many years trying. With that, Scairy Tales was created. Within a year after that, Fried Pickle Noir came and that was all she wrote as the story goes.

Each year, I try to make sure I have a new book out by October to keep the anniversary momentum alive. This year, I was fortunate enough to finish not only a book for Scairy Tales (vol 4 called "LOVE, Exciting & New") but

now, a fifth volume for Fried Pickle Noir with "Russet's Revenge". This one is my best pickle yet with more art and story than any other single pickle book, over 120 pages long! Click the STORE page to see all of my works and be sure to visit each series page for full samples of everything.

Cheers!
J.R.

THE WRAP UP-- HEROES AND VILLAINS FANFEST 2017!

I had a fun time at Heroes and Villains Fanfest Atlanta. This is primarily an autograph show featuring guests from TV shows like Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, Flash, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Gotham, as well as wrestlers and other celebrities. 

Arrow's Emily Bett Rickards

Sadly, I didn't get to meet birthday girl, Ming Na Wen, but I did catch part of her panel. I also caught part of a Q and A with Arrow's Emily Bett Rickards. Also great catching up with Dmitri Walker, Drew Geraci, Wes Tillander, Marc Ballard, Christopher Collins, J.R. Mounts, Eric Dotson, Lee Jules, Rebecca Perry, Danny Hunter, Nick and Angela Mizgala, Melodie Goodwin, Lil' John and Patricia Nacinovic, Jeff Wiley, and my travel buddy, Mike Gordon. It was fun and a much needed day out of the house.

TODAY'S OFFICE...

Not my usual view.

Our hero!

Today's office. Sitting at my dad's kitchen table, trying to get some writing done while he watches the race. Have to get him up once an hour to walk. He's making good progress recovering from his knee replacement surgery.

Writing is odd. I already wrote the last line of the chapter. Now, I'm writing to reach that point. It's funny how that happens. I was feeling stuck during this fight scene and wasn't sure how to end it. Then, it came to me so I wrote the last line and now I'm filling int he blanks from where I was to that ending.

I'm also having fun peppering this bar filled with magic users with characters from comics, books, and movies. Subtly, of course.

#WRITERPROBLEMS (I AM NOT A SERIAL KILLER EDITION)

This one made me laugh.

To be fair, I guess I could technically still be considered a serial killer. I mean, I still kill a lot, but only fictional victims in books or film. #writerproblems #amwriting

Hardcover edition

SANDERSON OF METRO

A novel featuring The Wraith by Frank Dirscherl and Bobby Nash

Two masters of the superhero pulp fiction world, Frank Dirscherl and Bobby Nash, have come together to tell this tale, the NEVER before told origin of the first Wraith/Paul Sanderson, as only they could.

Witness to the original Sanderson's early childhood, the emptiness in his soul, his yearning for meaning in his life, his finding it in the wilds of Africa and coming face-to-face with the man who would one day become his greatest nemesis. And finally, how he was endowed with the awesome powers of the Eyes of Judgment, becoming the very first Wraith Dread Avenger of the Underworld.

This action packed, atmospheric thrill ride could only be told now and could only be told by master storytellers like Dirscherl and Nash. An epic, never to be repeated and not to be missed.

Paperback edition

SANDERSON OF METRO is now available for purchase at the following:

AUTHOR'S ROUNDTABLE - SETTING THE STAGE!

This week, I once again join Sean Taylor's Author Roundtable discussion on his Bad Girls, Good Guys, and Two-Fisted Action blog. A great topic this week as e discuss setting, in particular choosing a city where we set our books. As usual, Sean gathered input from horror, action, comic book, romance, etc. writers for this one because each writer slices this topic a bit differently.

You can check it out at https://seanhtaylor.blogspot.com/2017/11/my-city-or-your-city-choosing-and.html

I'd love to hear your thoughts on setting so please leave a comment on Sean's blog or here.

[UPDATED]: SEE HOW THE WRAITH BEGINS! SANDERSON OF METRO NOW AVAILABLE!

Look what arrived today.

I am thrilled to share the news that my latest novel, a collaboration with author and friend, Frank Dirscherl called Sanderson of Metro is now available for purchase in both paperback and hardcover editions. Published by Trinity Comics. There are links below.

Sanderson of Metro tells the origin story of Frank's character, Paul Sanderson, the man who eventually becomes known as The Wraith: Dread Avenger of the Underworld. The Wraith has previously appeared in comic books, novels, and even a movie. Sanderson of Metro is the first step in a The Wraith relaunch. It was an honor to be invited to play with Frank's characters and to work with Frank again. The last time we were on a project together was Lance Star: Sky Ranger vol. 1 back in 2006. I hope I did Paul Sanderson and The Wraith justice.
