JON  KIRK  OF  ARES  TRILOGY  OUT  NOW!

            The Winged Men was my first Jon Kirk of Ares novel, a unabashed John Carter of Mars pastiche that is a wild fun romp on the violent alien world of Ares, published in 2014. The novel tells the wild tale of an American soldier mysteriously transported to the planet Ares, where he fights brutal warriors, winged monsters and falls in love with  a beautiful princess. Jon Kirk’s adventures will thrill you and I feel they capture the pulp action and otherworldy excitement and exotic worlds that Burroughs created in his own John Carter of Mars series.  The Winged Men received great raves from Burroughs scholar Richard A. Lupoff and famed Gor creator John Norman.

            Now the Jon Kirk’s saga continues with book #2: The Invisible Men, and #3 The Space Men. These books expand the series and continue Jon Kirk’s furious and exciting battle to save the people of his adopted new world and save the woman he loves. Each book is a fast pulp sense-of-wonder action-filled science fantasy adventure.

            All three books will have stunning cover art by Marcus Boas and are published by Wildside Press in new trade paperback first edition originals.

            All three Jon Kirk books are available now at $15 each + postage (copies signed upon request).

            A set of all three books are also available at the special price of $40.00 + postage.

The Mystery Surrounding Watson’s Lost Dispatch Box

by

Gary Lovisi

MX publishing, 2014, 1st edition UK trade paperback. When young Joseph Adler enters a small Dorchester bookstore to sell a rare old copy of The Strand magazine -- within its pages is discovered what appears to be a sheet torn from the diary of Sherlock Holmes’ friend, Doctor Watson -- the implications are incredible. It sets the store owner and his young friend, Juan, on a case that that leads to mystery, murder and revenge -- all pointing to the contents of what may be in Watson’s dispatch box. This is my first Juan & Viejo mystery novel. I believe it is a rousing tale in the best tradition of the Great Detective with a new team of amateur sleuths, in a novel that captures the spirit of Doyle’s classic Holmes stories in a modern setting. Available now at $15.00 + postage.

In 1902 Sir James Damery enlisted the aid of Sherlock Holmes to prevent the daughter of an old friend from marrying a womanizing Austrian nobleman named Adelbert Gruner who was suspected of murdering his first wife.

            Holmes believed the matter concluded. He is proven wrong when a hideous murder occurs rife with evidence indicating to him that the Baron has returned. Not only does the Baron wish his death but he is obsessed with causing Holmes emotional suffering – nothing less than the complete and utter destruction of the Great Detective in body and soul.
