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."

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

WE LOVE READER REVIEWS! SNOW STORM GETS A 5 STAR REVIEW!

We love reader reviews! A BIG THANK YOU to Logan Proudfoot for the nice 5 STAR review of Snow Storm on Amazon. Read the full review here. 

Two Fisted Prose: Art for The Damned!
This is the 2nd book in Nash's Abraham Snow ouvre and it doesn't fail to deliver. The characters are lush, vibrant and real, the pacing pitch perfect and the action breathless.

Author Bobby Nash excells where so many other writers fail, he immerses himself in the waters of pulp fiction like a hard boiled sinner and emerges as a baptized revivalist, a gifted, insightful artist with a sardonic voice more befitting the classics than crime fiction.

Seldomnly does a writer transcend genre fiction with this sort of artistic abandon, this sort of zeal. Two fisted prose of this Ilk belongs alongside the works of Hemingway, Chekov, Kerouac and Nabikov.

WOW. Thanks again, Logan. Reviews are always appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to write and I'm glad you enjoyed Snow Storm.

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.

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.
