#THESUMMEROFSNOW - ARTIST JEFFREY HAYES JOINS SNOW TEAM!

Snow Art in Process by Jeffrey Hayes

#TheSummerofSnow continues!

There are still two books to release in Snow series 1, but we're already looking forward to Snow Series 2. I am thrilled to share the news that artist Jeffrey Hayes has joined the Snow team and is currently working on a cover for a Snow series 2 release. I have already loosely plotted 3 stories for series 2 and this is the first bit of art.

"I am thrilled to have Jeffrey Hayes design a Snow cover. Jeff's cover convey a sense of power and motion that makes the images leap off the page and just feels right for an action/thriller like Snow. Just seeing the tease above has me excited to start writing that Snow story. I have to keep reminding myself there are a couple in front of it to finish first." - Bobby Nash

“I’m very excited to be working on this project. Bobby Nash has created a fun and exciting character that inspires my creativity. Abraham Snow is a character who finds himself in any number of crisis - for an artist, that opens up many visual opportunities. Over the coming weeks I will be developing an initial illustration that I hope will capture the thrills, mystery and excitement found in the SNOW book series.” - Jeff Ray Hayes

I will share more of Jeff's Snow art as we go along.

Jeff and I have been part of the same books before Snow. He did some covers for Pro Se Productions on projects I was involved with. I'm pasting them here as well so you can check out his fantastic art. Check him out at Plasma Fire Graphics, Facebook, and Instagram. Shoot him a friend request and tell him Snow sent ya.

Welcome to Team Snow, Jeffrey Hayes!

MY 2018 RELEASES

I’ve noticed several of my writer pals sharing their lists of releases in 2018. You know how I like to jump on a bandwagon so here’s my list of 2018 releases:

Novels/Novellas
The Avenger Double Feature (Moonstone Books) 2018 paperback and hardcover release
Snow Trapped (BEN Books) 2018 paperback and ebook release
SNOW Series 1, Vol. 1 (BEN Books) 2018 paperback, ebook, and hardcover release
Shadows on the Horizon (BEN Books) 2018 paperback and ebook release

Anthologies/Short Stories
Tales of the Interstellar Bartender's Guild (Pro Se Productions) 2018 paperback and ebook release

Audio
The Ruby Files Vol. 1 (Airship 27 Productions) Audio only release 2018
Gary Phillips’ Hollis P.I. (Pro Se Productions) Audio only release 2018

Not bad. Until I started putting the list together, I thought it was smaller.

Looking ahead, 2019 looks to be a busy year. There were projects scheduled for 2018 release that have been pushed back into the new year and I have plans for my BEN Books titles as well as re-packaging my back list. More on that later.

Happy New Year!

HOLLIS P.I. NABS A NEW 4 STAR AMAZON READER REVIEW!

A Big Thank You to 'Kindle Customer" for the new 4 STAR Amazon Reader Review of Gary Phillips' Hollis P.I. from Pro Se Productions. It was quite the honor to write Gary's characters.

"Overall, I thought this was a good collection of short stories. The first story was entirely forgettable for me. The rest were good to very good. Of course, the story by Derrick Ferguson was very good. I'm a big fan of his. Seemed more gritty and hardboiled than the others. A little Dillon in Nate? Didn't think he was hardboiled enough throughout the book. Maybe the authors were a little timid writing about a badass black private investigator? Derrick pulled it off the best with his customary action and humor."

Read the full reviews at www.amazon.com/product-reviews/B00Q80PLYG and pick up a copy of Hollis P.I. today!

My story in this collection is called"Naomi." Hollis has been hired by the parents of a missing young woman who came to Hollywood to become an actress, Hollis finds her, but it's too late. The hard life she fell into chewed her up and spit her out onto the hard, cracked asphalt streets of Angeltown. He might not be able to save her, but there is one thing Hollis can do, he can find Naomi's killers and make them pay for the life they took.

Thanks again for the 4 STAR review.

HOLLIS P.I.'S LATEST CASE IS NOW ON AUDIO!

Hollis p.i. explodes onto audio!

Hard-boiled crime thrilling action at its best is now available as an audiobook at Amazon and
Audible.

Gary Phillips' Nate Hollis leaps from the comics to his first complete prose collection and now onto AUDIO for the first time! Authors Juliet Blackwell, Bobby Nash, Aaron Philip Clark, and Derrick Ferguson join Phillips to create six double barreled tales of mystery and action. The streets are mean, but they don't hold a stick of dynamite to Hollis, P.I. From creator Gary Phillips and Pro Se Productions. The audio book is read by Ferdie Luthy. Produced by Radio Archives.

"P.I. Nate Hollis originally sprang from the rich imagination of LA-based writer Gary Phillips, but he's so real and tactile he could climb off the page and buy you a bourbon. Now, four other authors are getting a piece of Nate, too, and this latest collection of Nate stories is wonderful. This is contemporary noir at its best, offering all the familiar pleasures of the genre, but giving them a modern makeover. Yes, this is a violent world that Nate inhabits, but he steers a true and moral course through the layers of deception, skullduggery, and sometimes worse that make these stories such high-density entertainment. Nate's a great character and these stories do him justice and more."
- T. Jefferson Parker, Author of The Famous and the Dead

Bobby's story in this collection is called"Naomi." Hollis has been hired by the parents of a missing young woman who came to Hollywood to become an actress, Hollis finds her, but it's too late.

BOBBY HEADS TO ANGELTOWN! GARY PHILLIPS' HOLLIS P.I. NOW AVAILABLE!

Cover Art: Jeffrey Hayes

Pro Se Productions has released the much anticipated Gary Phillips’ Hollis P.I. anthology. This anthology features “Naomi” by me. It was a lot of fun to play with these characters whose adventures I’ve enjoyed reading previously. When Tommy Hancock and Gary Phillips talked to me about this project back at Pulp Ark in 2013, it was hard to say no to-- and believe me I was so busy at the time that I tried. But Nate Hollis and his crew are just too cool to walk away from and I’m so glad they invited me along for the ride.

This is a little more adult than my usual fare with amped up language, sex, and violence. It was fun to visit the hard-boiled side of the street. I’ll definitely have to visit again.

I hope you have as much fun reading it as I did writing it.

Bobby

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE-

COMIC PRIVATE EYE LEAPS TO PROSE IN NEW COLLECTION!
“GARY PHILLIPS’ HOLLIS P.I.” DEBUTS FROM PRO SE PRODUCTIONS

An innovative Publisher of cutting edge Genre Fiction and New Pulp, Pro Se Productions announces the release of a short story collection featuring one of the best modern hard boiled private investigators to ever grace a page. Birthed full-blown several years ago in the comics mini-series Angeltown, L.A. private eye Nate Hollis, created by noted Genre Fiction author Gary Phillips, makes the jump to prose in six new short stories in Gary Phillips’ Hollis, P.I.

“I couldn’t be more pleased that Hollis returns in prose from Pro Se Productions,” Phillips said. “Readers are in for some hardboiled thrills as we put the redoubtable private eye through his paces -- from a ritual killing, the hunt for long-hidden swag, attack dogs in the dark, to the machinations of crooked politicians…tough guys and tougher women.”

Gary Phillips has penned short stories for Moonstone’s Kolchak: The Night Stalker Casebook, the Avenger Chronicles, the Green Hornet Casefiles and The Spider: Extreme Prejudice anthologies. His most current novel is Warlord of Willow Ridge. He also has out the eBook novella, The Essex Man: 10 Seconds to Death, a homage to ‘70s era paperback vigilantes. Additionally he is one of the editors for Pro Se's BLACK PULP volume, and any and all follow ups to that collection. In addition to editing and contributing to Hollis, P.I. for Pro Se, he also has for the press stories upcoming in Asian Pulp and Black Pulp II. He recently wrote the graphic novel Big Water, about the fight by a municipality to save its water from privatization; has a steamy story not for kids in 50 Shades of a Fedora; and is editor and contributor to the upcoming Day of the Destroyers, a collection of linked stories wherein Jimmie Flint, Secret Agent X-11 battles to stop internal forces out to overthrow the presidency of FDR during the Great Depression.

New York Times bestseller Juliet Blackwell (the Witchcraft Mystery series), acclaimed up-and-coming crime writer Aaron Philip Clark (A Healthy Fear of Man) new pulp luminaries Derrick Ferguson (Four Bullets for Dillon) and Pulp Ark award winner Bobby Nash join Phillips in penning these new gritty tales. Five stories feature Nate Hollis with a sixth featuring his sometimes ally, bounty hunter Irma Deuce. The streets are mean, but they don’t hold a stick of dynamite to Gary Phillips’ Hollis, P.I.

“PI Nate Hollis,” says T. Jefferson Parker, author of The Famous and the Dead, “originally sprang from the rich imagination of LA-based writer Gary Phillips, but he’s so real and tactile he could climb off the page and buy you a bourbon. Now, four other authors are getting a piece of Nate, too, and this latest collection of Nate stories is wonderful. This is contemporary noir at its best, offering all the familiar pleasures of the genre, but giving them a modern makeover. Yes, this is a violent world that Nate inhabits, but he steers a true and moral course through the layers of deception, skullduggery and sometimes worse that make these stories such high-density entertainment. Nate’s a great character and these stories do him justice and more. “

Gary Phillips’ Hollis P.I., features evocative and action packed cover art and logo design by Jeffrey Hayes. With print formatting by Percival Constantine, the collection is available from Amazon and Pro Se’s own store for $12.00. This modern mystery collection is also available as an eBook for the Kindle and in most formats from Smashwords for only $2.99.
