Turning
The Page
I have about two more
weeks of material to post, and then I’ll be sending all of my data to Tommy
Hancock of Pro Se Productions. Tommy will add what material he has to my data,
and eventually publish the essays in a book sometime in 2014. The preliminary
title is TURNING THE PAGE. If you haven’t sent us your data yet, now is a good
time to get this done. We hope TURNING THE PAGE will provide a basic guide for
readers to find New Pulp fiction, and a little printing history and description
of characters that you might be interested in reading – or at least checking
out.
There will undoubtedly
be many characters left out of the book, as I was not able to read many of the
stories for data myself, and the authors never contacted me with their
information. This may result in a future volume, as I would hate for some
characters to be left out completely. Plus, new writers are constantly creating
new pulp heroes all the time, so this may demand a future volume eventually.
Something else, as I
don’t have everything on my personal shelf, I may not know who you are, or the
correct spelling of your name, or the names of your characters, etc. Be sure to
check your data with what I have posted here, and make sure I have everything
correct. Don’t have a big head, and think everyone knows you as the great
author you think you are, or that everyone knows and loves your unforgettable
characters. Some day, we will all be famous, and be remembered for the great
characters we created, and the great work we produced. Unfortunately, that’s
not the case right now. That is what Tommy and I hope to do with TURNING THE
PAGE, get your name and characters in the minds of readers everywhere.
