  • April 8, 2013

Pro Se Productions, a Publisher known for Innovative Genre Fiction and New Pulp, announces one of its most interesting, unique projects to date!  Author Joseph Lamere brings a wild concept to Pro Se in the first volume of his digest series, DRAMATIS PERSONAE!

For your whole life secrets have been kept from you. Science and history books have gotten it wrong. They only tell part of the story. Maybe someday these books will be rewritten, but only if Diogenes Ra’s secret gets out. 

If you only knew what Diogenes Ra knew. 

He knows something the rest of us don’t. Fiction is real. All your favorite characters exists, their stories overlapping in one grand, timeless narrative. Diogenes Ra can access that narrative. For the right price he will even bring your favorite fictional characters here to our world. But they can’t be gone long. They have to get back to their stories in time for you to read them or watch them on TV. 

Diogenes Ra believes he alone possesses the ability to pass unchecked between this world and the one we mistakenly call fiction. He’s about to find out he’s wrong. 

“One of the awesome things about being a Publisher of Genre Fiction,” Tommy Hancock, Partner in and Editor-in-Chief of Pro Se states, “is that it’s a fertile field for new and different takes on old standards.  With DRAMATIS PERSONAE, Joseph has brought something to the table that’s part mystery/part mash up/ part family drama and most definitely all Fun.   The characters jump off the page, literally within the story, but also Diogenes and crew are truly unforgettable on their own.   This is a series that Pro Se will be glad to share with the world for a long time coming.”

DRAMATIS PERSONAE: PUBLIC DOMAIN by Joseph Lamere! With Cover Art by Terry Pavlet, Format and Design by Sean Ali, and Ebook Design by Russ Anderson! The first of a fantastically imaginative new series from Pro Se Productions!

DRAMATIS PERSONAE: PUBLIC DOMAIN is available for $8.00 in print from Pro Se’s own store at https://www.createspace.com/4234535, from Amazon at http://tinyurl.com/d8kjfnl and available in digital format for $2.99 for your Nook at http://tinyurl.com/crtlvjc, on your Kindle at http://tinyurl.com/c5tu4ta, and for other formats via Smashwords at http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/303433!

HARD BOILED WESTERN OMNIBUS DEBUTS FROM PRO SE-SAVAGE NOIR BY GREG NORGAARD!

  • News
  • March 6, 2013

An untamed land of lawless men and deadly decisions.  Evil hides in the shadows of alleys and Good dies on blood soaked streets. Loose words lead to skinned sixguns and flying lead.  A land where a man has to be of a certain breed.  Tough, relentless, unforgiving.  A land where a man has to be…Savage.


savagenoirfc-4682863
Pro Se Productions, a leading publisher of Genre Fiction and New Pulp proudly presents SAVAGE NOIR: The Complete Adventures of Frank Savage.  Written by Greg Norgaard, SAVAGE NOIR is a hard boiled two fisted western.  This omnibus features the original two novels featuring Norgaard’s raw, exciting protagonist-Frank Savage- as well as a never before published short story chronicling Savage’s last adventure.

There is only one way to deal with murderous souls when killing is their modus operandi and revenge is on their mind. When the West was wild, one man knew this better than any other. His name was Frank Savage.

A SAVAGE RETRIBUTION – On a cross country stagecoach trip, Frank’s destiny causes him to cross paths with people from his past.  Unaware that they are being followed, Frank must come to terms with his old ways.  With the help of his friends, he will face his past and fight for their lives against a madman who will stop at nothing to get his savage retribution.

A SAVAGE DARKNESS –The violent story of four lawmen in search of a murderous group of psychopaths.  Frank leads his new found partners into Chicago’s dangerous underworld in order to destroy the killers who savagely murdered one man’s family.

AN AMERICAN SAVAGE- Never Before Published!  This trek takes Frank to England for his final mission- to stop a killer from continuing his rampage.  A killer that he should have disposed of when he had the chance.  It will not be a mistake Savage makes twice!

According to Paul Bishop (Fight Card), “Savage Noir is not your father’s western.  Frank Savage is a flawed hero riding hell-bent for violence.  Nasty.  Brutish.  Twisted.  I loved every page.” 

Gordon Dymowski (Zone 4/Blog THIS Pal) recommends, “If you like your Westerns a little wilder than most, you’ll dig SAVAGE NOIR.”

SAVAGE NOIR: THE COMPLETE ADVENTURES OF FRANK SAVAGE by Greg Norgaard is currently available from Pro Se Productions at https://www.createspace.com/4190844 and at Amazon and Barnes & Noble!  Coming Soon to Kindle, Nook, and Other E-Readers!

LOOKS LIKE WE’VE GOT A MYSTERY ON OUR HANDS-THE ALL PULP PRINT BESTSELLER LIST FOR FEBRUARY 25, 2013!

  • News
  • February 25, 2013

Welcome to the February 25, 2013 installment of All Pulp’s New Pulp Best Seller List, originally created by Barry Reese! Before we get to what you’re all waiting for, here are the rules by which this little list comes together.
1)    This list only tracks sales through AMAZON. It does not keep track of sales through Barnes and Noble, face-to-face or anything else!

2)   
This list only tracks PRINT sales. Exactly how Amazon calculates these things is mostly a trade secret and they vary wildly from day to day. If we checked this tomorrow, the list could be very different. This list reflects sales ranks as of Monday morning February 25, 2013.


3)   In order to keep the focus on new releases, eligible works must have been published within the last three months. So, since this list is being done on February 25, 2013, we are only looking at books published since November 25, 2012. Please keep that in mind before complaining that Title X is not listed. Also, keep in mind that for the most part, we are tracking sales from smaller and mid level press publishers who actively publish New Pulp material. We won’t generally track sales from Simon and Schuster or places like that — they have the New York Times Bestseller List for that. If one of the major publishers starts doing The Shadow or something, we’ll track that, but some publishers will not be listed here in order to keep the focus on the publishers actively working toproduce and promote New Pulp.

4)   
Like the name suggests, we’re tracking “New” pulp —not sales rankings for reprints of classic material. In order for something to qualify for this list, it has to be at least 50% new material that has not been printed in book form before.


5)    We are human. If you are aware of a title that should be listed below (keeping in mind all the rules above), please let us know and we will make sure to remedy the situation.


6)    This information is garnered mostly from All Pulp, New Pulp, the Pulp Factory mailing list and a few other sites. If you think we might miss your release, let us know in advance — drop All Pulp a line and tell us when it’s beingreleased.

Without further ado, here’s the completely and totally unofficial New Pulp bestseller list as of right now (title, then publisher, then release date, then sales rank):

1) The Detective, The Woman, and the Winking Tree by Amy Thomas (MX Publishing, January 22, 2013) – 41,325

2) The City of Smoke and Mirrors by Nick C. Piers (Pro Se Productions, February 22, 2013 ) 54,207

3) Pro Se Presents 15 by Various (Pro Se Productions, November 29, 2012)– 137,513

4) Sherlock Holmes and Young Winston: The Deadwood Stage by Mike Hogan (MX Publishing, December 10, 2012) – 157,093

5) Sherlock Holmes and Young Winston: The Jubilee Plot by Mike Hogan (MX Publishing, February 18, 2013) – 166,834

6)  Danger in Cat World by Nina Post (Curiosity Quills Press, February 4, 2013) – 300,843

7) Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Detective, Volume 4 by Various (Airship 27, January 19, 2012) – 306,066

8) Monster Earth by Various (Mechanoid Press, January 18, 2013) -314,218

9) Pro Se Presents 17 by Various (Pro Se Productions,  February 21, 2013) -401,712

10) Ghost Boy by Various (Airship 27 Productions,) -479,640

Just missing the list were: Prohibition by Terrence McCauley (Airship 27 Productions, December 15, 2012) 548,568, Fourteen Western Stories by Lloyd Fonvielle (Lloyd Fonvielle, January 23, 2013) – 586,078,  and The Cestus Concern by Mat Nastos (Nifty Entertainment, January 4, 2013) – 690,460.

  
Although Sherlock Holmes is still consistentlyholding his own on the list, the numbers shown by other books on the list show that sales have not been as soft as in previous weeks, the top ten books all under 500,000 in the Amazon Rankings.

Pro Se Productions returns to the list, making a strong showing with Nick Piers’ debut novel as well as its latest issue of Pro Se Presents coming in at #8.  More interesting, however, is the fact that Pro Se Presents comes screaming into the top 3 in its last week of eligibility.

Another interesting aspect of the list, and this may simply be coincidence, but eight of the ten books on the list deal with Detectives and mysteries in some sense.  Not enough to call it a trend, but this week crime solvers definitely win out.

This week, Pro Se and MX Publishing share the Publisher lead with three titles in the list, with Airship 27 Productions listing two.  Mechanoid Press and Curiosity Quills Press each make the top 10 with one title.  And, if you have a grain of salt lying around, take it with this list.

AUTHOR’S DEBUT NOVEL FEATURING WORLD’S WEIRDEST HARD BOILED PI -NOW AVAILABLE FROM PRO SE!

  • News
  • February 23, 2013

Pro Se Productions, a company specializing in New Pulp and Genre Fiction, once more walks the cutting edge of storytelling with the debut novel of author Nick C. Piers featuring the first adventure of New Pulp’s wildest, weirdest Private Eye ever to don a fedora!   THE CITY OF SMOKE AND MIRRORS: AN ARMADILLO MYSTERY!

Dilbert Pinkerton’s not the greatest private detective, but he’s good at sniffing out clues. Of course, it’s hard to take a five-foot-nothing mutant armadillo in a trench coat and fedora seriously. He sticks his snout where it doesn’t belong far too often while digging for the truth.

So when some rich dame asks him to steal – ahem, retrieve – a pearl necklace from her ex-husband, Dill almost reconsiders. Until, that is, she offers him far too much money that he can’t refuse. Now, Dill heads to Nevermore Bay, home of The Buzzard.

Most in Nevermore Bay think The Buzzard is just a myth created by the local police force. Whether that’s true or not, Dill can’t help but be curious by the mystery. When he runs afoul with this fowl, though, things go to hell and fast. Not only are the police after him, but Dill must also contend with some of The Buzzard’s rogues, mobster Don Komodo and his goon squad, and even The Buzzard himself.

With everyone in the city against him, what hope does Dill have just to get out of there with his carapace intact?

“This idea,” stated Tommy Hancock, Partner in and Editor in Chief of Pro Se Productions, “is everything New Pulp should be, even though its leading man is a mutant armadillo!  It is fun, larger than life, over the top action and adventure, with tips of multiple hats to comic books, hard boiled crime stories, and more!  Nick brings a ridiculously vibrant life to Dill and everyone else that walks through these pages!  Get your Dillo on now with this first great adventure of many!”

THE CITY OF SMOKE AND MIRRORS by Nick C. Piers featuring Cover Art by Chris Sheehan and Logo and Design by Sean E. Ali is available directly from Pro Se’s Createspace store at https://www.createspace.com/4183031 and at Amazon at https://www.createspace.com/4183031 for $15.00!

Also available for $2.99 at Amazon on the Kindle, at Barnes and Noble for the Nook, and in various formats at www.smashwords.com!
