It’s been a while since I’ve had a new publication to discuss, but the time is now!

Back in 2022, I celebrated the release of the first pulp fiction collection starring Radio Rita, an original character created by Airship 27.

In addition to being a new character, Rita was also unique in that she wasn’t a set character but instead was interpreted differently by each writer.

My version of Rita was a 1950s secret agent sent on a mission to an isolated village.

Now a second collection is available! The Adventures of Radio Rita Volume Two is another set of four stories by four different writers, each with our own vision for the main character once again.

I’ve continued the adventures of Rita the secret agent from my previous story. This time, she’s sent on a mission to rescue a scientist she met during the war… and partnered with a stuffy agent she can’t stand.

I hope you’ll enjoy it and the other stories in The Adventures of Radio Rita Volume Two! It’s available from Amazon in both ebook form and print, and it’s also available in PDF form directly from Airship 27.

While TGS is still going (with the exciting news yesterday that the Apollo Justice Trilogy will be out on January 25, because of course it is), it’s time to take a break from our video game discussions for some writing news instead!

A new pulp fiction collection starring the classic character Professor Challenger is now available from Airship 27. The Challenger Chronicles Volume One contains four short stories that send the professor and his allies on all-new adventures.

In mine, “The Unseen Star,” Professor Challenger calls upon Edward Malone and Lord John Roxton to help him face off against a fanatical group of researchers who hope to make contact with a threat from far beyond the stars.

It’s joined here in this collection by stories from Gordon Dymowski, Barbara Doran, and Michael Panush. Each of us has written our own addition to the Professor Challenger adventures.

Professor Challenger is a character originally created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, now in the public domain. Unlike the more famous Sherlock Holmes, Challenger is aggressive and hotheaded, which made him a lot of fun to write about. I had a fantastic time writing “The Unseen Star,” and I hope you’ll enjoy it too.

The Challenger Chronicles Volume One is available now in print from Amazon for $16.99, and ebook copies should become available soon.

As we approach the end of the year, I’ve got an exciting story announcement to make!

My latest pulp fiction story, “Radio Rita and the Genesis Machine,” is available now in the new collection from Airship 27, The Adventures of Radio Rita.

Unlike my previous pulp fiction works, which featured classic characters, Radio Rita is a new heroine invented for Airship 27.

Writers were given a few basic details about Rita – her physical appearance and the fact that she’s a pilot – and given freedom to go from there. As a result, each of the four stories in this collection features a different Rita with her own personality, history, and goals.

In my story, “Radio Rita and the Genesis Machine,” Rita is an agent sent on a mission to an isolated mountain village to investigate a sinister organization constructing an unknown device. It was a fun story to write, with some twists and turns I especially enjoyed creating.

Like all of Airship 27’s anthologies, each story is followed by an essay explaining how the story came to be, if you enjoy that sort of behind-the-scenes look.

The Adventures of Radio Rita is on sale now at Amazon as a paperback for $16.99. The ebook version will be available shortly.

So if you’re in the mood for some exciting pulp fiction adventures, pick up a copy of this new collection and let me know how you enjoy “Radio Rita and the Genesis Machine”!
