New Oasis Cover

Okay, here’s the new cover I’m using for the Kindle & Nook store versions. Clicky for big version.

Classic Pulp #3: The Defenders

This one is by Philip K. Dick, who is everybody’s favorite science fiction author that they’ve never heard of. He wasn’t overly successful when he was alive, but Hollywood has made movies out of his novels like crazy. Off the top of my head, the following movies are based on his work. Blade Runner Total [...]

The Journey of St. Laurent, Chapter 49

Author’s note: It may be late, but it’s still Friday. Now there’s been five weeks in a row with a chapter. In St. Laurent-related news, I’ve commissioned a painting for a new Oasis cover. I just get the artist’s composition sketch back, and I am freaking excited. I think it’s going to really help match [...]

Classic Pulp #2: Police Your Planet!

I cannot believe that Hollywood has not made a slew of adaptations of this one yet. It’s got everything that modern audiences want: A scifi setting. Plenty of possible effects. The book does take place on mars, you know. With rockets, a “bubble” city, spacesuits, and everything. A scrappy anti-hero. All he wants is work [...]

The Journey of St. Laurent, Chapter 48

Author’s Note: Four weeks now. It feel nice to be back in a groove. For those of you who haven’t read any of the Journey Of St. Laurent before: You are now reading an online serial pulp novel. If you didn’t start at the beginning, you may want to do so. Chapter 1:  Down By [...]

Classic Pulp #1: Pigeons From Hell

If you haven’t noticed, I love old school pulp. That’s why I write pulp-styled fiction. Apparently, you must enjoy it, too, at least a little, or you wouldn’t keep coming back. I’ve decided to start sharing some of my favorite pieces (especially those in the public domain) with you all from time to time. Anyway, [...]

The Journey of St. Laurent, Chapter 47

Authors note: A new chapter three weeks in a row. I haven’t done that for a long time. Thanks to DarcKnyt for the edits last time, also thanks to Major and Glenn for commenting. I was pretty tired last night when I finished this one, so I hope it makes sense. For those of you [...]

Who else? (& Oasis News)

Quick question. When you’re not busy clicking refresh here at storyhack to see if I’ve posted a new chapter, who else do you read? Are there any other fiction-posting authors that you follow? In other news, if you’ve always been too cheap to spring the $3 for Oasis on the kindle, now’s your big chance [...]

The Journey of St. Laurent, Chapter 46

Authors note: That’s right! Another chapter, but this time without a one month wait. For those of you who haven’t read any of the Journey Of St. Laurent before: You are now reading an online serial pulp novel. If you didn’t start at the beginning, you may want to do so. Chapter 1:  Down By [...]

The Journey of St. Laurent, Chapter 45

Authors note: For those of you who haven’t read any of the Journey Of St. Laurent before: You are now reading an online serial pulp novel. If you didn’t start at the beginning, you may want to do so. Chapter 1:  Down By The Bay. This serial is the sequel to my first novel, Oasis. [...]
