One of the most popular New Pulp characters is back!  Rick Ruby, noir PI extraordinaire, returns in a  second volume of stories from some of the best authors in New Pulp.  The first volume was one of the most popular and critically recognized books in 2012 and has remained a perennial favorite.  Now Rick is back and the stories are better than ever.In this show I interview Ron Fortier, Bobby Nash, Sean Taylor, and Alan Porter about their contributions to this new volume.   We delve into the origins of the character and the inspiration that each of the authors had for their stories. 

UNFORTUNATELY, a thunderstorm landed on us towards the end of the program and the last 10 minutes of the interview was lost.  But there is so much good stuff here(including a few tangents) that I don't think the fans will mind. There are also lotsa great xtras and links that feature the work of thee fine authors so check 'em out.

Vol. 1 Cover Art:
Mark Wheatley

Gangsters and Gun Molls! It was the 1930's 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.

The Ruby Files Vol. 2 is coming soon! Series creators Sean Taylor and Bobby Nash return with new stories and are joined by author Ron Fortier and Alan J. Porter. Interior illustrations provided by Nik Poliwko. Cover by Mark Wheatley.

RICK RUBY-- BACK ON THE CASE!

Working on my story for the upcoming The Ruby Files Vol. 2 today. Still in the early stages of the story, but here’s a taste. FYI. This is the raw first pass with no edits as yet so it could change.

-----
The manager didn’t want details. He just wanted whatever tomfoolery was going on to stop. He had actually used the word “tomfoolery,” which had made Rick laugh, although he quickly covered it when he realized that the man wasn’t kidding.

He had instructed Rick to “get the goods” and “shut them down” by any means necessary without disrupting the hotel’s clientele. Keeping things quiet was important. That was why he had come to The Ruby Agency instead of the police.

-----

Coming 2013

The Ruby Files Vol. 2

Featuring stories by Sean Taylor, Ron Fortier, Alan J. Porter, and Bobby Nash.

Illustrations by Nik Poliwko

Look for a Cover Artist announcement soon.
