How and Why This Book Came About and What it Means to You In the late spring of 2016 I had released two products called “KD Hotspots” and “Book­A­Day Children’s Nonfiction.” Both had been pretty successful. The results were very encouraging and I got a lot of great feedback. Both were centered on research of Kindle genres. Something I noticed other Kindle teachers had a lot of success with. I was planning a new product along those lines tentatively called “KD Watchlist.” This one was centered around Children’s Intermediate readers books. I’d actually finished a lot of the material, but something was missing. I couldn’t quite put my finger on what it was, but I just couldn’t get past the finishing line. My productivity in general was hurting as a result. A friend advised me to start every day, no matter what, with 30­60 minutes worth of fiction writing. It was supposed to revitalize my energy levels and really get me pumping. I, personally, figured this was a load of BS. You know the kind of new­agy drivel people throw at you from time to time. However, I also knew from experience that I shouldn’t dismiss this person’s advice. Her advice had helped me more than once in the past. I started the week doing this. Within a day I had finished the Kindle Short Read Children’s book I was writing. I had been stuck on this for weeks, so it felt really good. I also plotted the next one and started the next day writing it. I got halfway through it when I decided I needed to work on my training material. Not because I couldn’t write any more fiction that day, on the contrary, but because I had this deadline looming. 5 On Wednesday I had an out­of­town meeting for the day so I didn’t get much of anything done. Thursday, today, I was back at it. However, I put fiction on the backburner because I had that looming deadline for that other product (as it has now been named). Productivity flatlined completely. Not more than 30 minutes ago I decided to go for a walk to revitalize myself and give myself a shot at hitting the zone. On that walk I admitted the realization I had some time ago. “KD Watchlist” wasn’t the product I was supposed to publish right now. It wasn’t the right next step to take. Not for me, and more importantly, not for my students. Don’t get me wrong, the concept of “KD Watchlist” was sound, but it wasn’t what needed to get out there right now. Of course, the friend I mentioned earlier would kill me if she knew I abandoned that project so haphazardly. So, I’d really appreciate it if you don’t tell her. Now, what does that mean for you? That was the other part of this subheadline, and admittedly the most important part. The lure of the “Book­A­Day” training was that you could get great children’s nonfiction books on the market really fast. Instinctively you know that speed is important. Speed is something I will talk a lot about during this training. What worked well with “KD Hotspots” and to a great degree “Book­A­Day” was that they provided you with information that would give you a fighting chance in some great genres. Why would I abandon that? 6 Information is great. Information is power. The problem with the concept of “KD Watchlist” is that it doesn’t really give you much more than that. If I published it I know I’d get people saying they could figure this out on their own. They could. They wouldn’t, but they certainly could. “KD Short Reads Mastery” has a different purpose. It is intended to help you get books on the market fast. It doesn’t really care what genre you decide to do this in, it cares about helping you get more books on the market faster. Why is that important? It’s important because Kindle is a numbers game. Sure you can have a big hit and become the next J.K. Rowling. You also have a shot at winning the powerball if you buy 7 a ticket, but you know the likelihood of that happening is slim at best. So, unless you’re banking on a lottery ticket you need to speed up your publishing speed. To do that you need to take a look back in history. You need to learn from the old masters of Pulp fiction (not the movie) and apply that to a modern day setting. What about the art? It’s a fair question. The art of writing is important, but here’s the blunt truth. If you’re not already an established author the art is not going to feed you. Not unless you get really lucky. The kind of lucky regular people like you and me rarely get. 8 “Book­A­Day Kindle Short Reads” is for you if you’re ready to create your own luck. The journey ahead of you will be filled with work (unless you decide to outsource it), but it will also be a path full of satisfaction. Nothing in the world beats seeing your book online on Amazon. Well, some things might, but it’s one of my personal favorite feelings in the world. I think you’re like me in that regard. Short Reads Are Where It’s At Why Kindle Short Reads? Because it’s the easiest way to succeed. That could be all I said in this section. It won’t be, but it could be. Kindle Short Reads are books ranging from 1 to 100 pages. The point is that you have to be able to read them in 2 hours or less. Now, there are many different assumptions to what constitutes a page on Kindle. To make things easier I tend to go with the assumption that we’re talking about 250 words per page. For a 100 page book that means 25.000 words. There are assumptions ranging from 215 words per page to 300+ words per page. 250 words makes the math easier though. The books you’ll learn to write in this training will be anywhere between 6k and 10k long. That’s 24 to 40 pages. Is that really long enough? Absolutely, the books you’re writing will fall in the “45­Minute Short Reads” category. Now, It’s no coincidence that some of my previous material has been collecting research. Let’s get some facts on the table about the “45­Minute Short Reads.” ● The top 5 books all rank below 1.000 on the overall Kindle chart. 9 ● All top 20 books rank below 5.0000 on the overall chart. ● The avg. sale price is $2.39 for the top 20. ● The avg.

  • JB's Extensive Listing of Pulp-Related Gaming Resources
    - LASTJB UPDATED:’s Extensive 6/8/2012 8:09:07 PM Listing of Pulp Related Gaming Resources I was one of the original co-authors for what would eventually become The Ravaged Earth Society (a Savage Worlds sourcebook). Although I had nothing to do with the final version Pulpof the product Gaming I did do a huge Resources amount of research on the genre while working on the original draft -- my original list of resources is 12 typewritten pages long). Whether you’re looking for adventure seeds, information to use in expanding your campaign or simply inspiration while creating your next intrepid hero, the information that follows will prove both useful and insightful. In compiling this resource, I have deviated from the standard definition of “Classic Pulp”, instead adopting a much broader interpretation in which camp and over-the-top actions are the defining factors. Ultimately, the deciding factor as to whether to include a reference or not was the answer to the following question: “Does this reference contain information that could easily be used in a pulp adventure or campaign?” If the answer was yes, it was included; otherwise, it got the boot! ROLEPLAYING GAMES Some of these games are out of print, while others are available only as electronic files, so getting your hands on them may require a trip to an online vendor such as RPGNow or perhaps even eBay. When attempting to locate these games, we suggest making the Pen & Paper website your first stop. Adventure!

  • The Following Is a Transcript of a Presentation I Made at the in Your Write Mind Conference at Seton Hill University on 22 June 2018
    The following is a transcript of a presentation I made at the In Your Write Mind Conference at Seton Hill University on 22 June 2018. The audience comprised largely graduates of the University's MFA program for novelists. - FAJr. WRITING FOR THE NEW PULP FICTION MARKET Ever hear of The Purple Scar? Lady Domino? The Black Bat? How about the Shadow? Doc Savage? Conan the Barbarian? Ah, I see recognition lighting up a few faces. The aforementioned heroes and heroine are members of the pantheon of pulp fiction characters popular in the magazines of the 1930s and 40s. Literary types are fond of tagging Pulp Fiction as "escapist literature named after the cheap pulp paper on which the magazines were printed." I prefer to think that Pulp Fiction is named after the state in which the villains are left after the hero is finished beating the living snot out of them. Hundreds of pulp magazines graced the newsstands and magazine racks of America, some monthly and some weekly in the 1930s and 40s. And they kept authors like H.P. Lovecraft, Fritz Leiber, Ray Bradbury, Robert E. Howard, Robert Bloch, Kenneth Robeson, Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler and a host of others from starving to death in the hard times of the Great Depression. As a matter of fact, during the Depression, the prolific Robert E. Howard had a greater income than the President of the bank in his hometown of Cross Plains, Texas. The magazines had titles like Spicy Detective Stories, Weird Tales, Astounding Science Fiction, THRILLING ADVENTURE, THRILLING DETECTIVE, THRILLING MYSTERY, THRILLING RANCH, THRILLING SPORTS, THRILLING WESTERN, and THRILLING WONDER STORIES.

The J. T. Oliver Photo Collection In my teenage years when Southern fans were few and far between I picked up the nickname of “The Traveling Fan” for a while, largely due to my quest to find kindred spirits. I made trips to meet Al Andrews in Birmingham, Dave Hulan in Huntsville, James ayers in Attalla, AL, Shelby and Suzy Vick and Norm Metcalfe in Panama City, James Ayers in Attalla, Ala., and Emile Greenleaf in New Orleans. I also visited J.T. Oliver in Columbus, Ga. J.T. was among a small group of active fans in the 1950s in Georgia. Others included Lee Hoffman in Savannah, Roger D. Aycock in Rome, and the coterie of fans that formed that Atlanta Science Fiction Organization. Aycock, by the way, was also a pro who wrote under the name of Roger Dee. Since Columbus was only 30 miles from Opelika, I made several trips to visit J.T. I thought nothing of it at the time but realized later that he lived in one of the mill villages and probably worked in one of the mills. I remember him explaining that the Columbus high schools were culturally dispersed.

The World met the 'Man of Bronze' in a novel titled The Man of Bronze (#001), March 1933. "Doc Savage" was created by Street&Smith’s Henry W. Ralston -- with help from editor John L. Nanovic -- in order to capitalize on the surprise success of "The Shadow" magazine. It was Lester Dent, though, who crafted the character into the superman that he became. Dent -- who wrote most of the adventures -- described his hero Clark “Doc” Savage Jr. as a cross between “Sherlock Holmes with his deducting ability, Tarzan of the Apes with his towering physique and muscular ability, Craig Kennedy with his scientific knowledge, and Abraham Lincoln with his Christ-liness.” Through 181 novels, the fight against Evil was on.

From Pulp Hero to Superhero: Culture, Race, and Identity in American Popular Culture, 1900-1940 Adventure characters in the pulp magazines and comic books of the early twentieth century reflected development in the ongoing American fascination with heroic figures. 1 As the United States declared the frontier closed, established icons such as the cowboy became disconnected from everyday American experience and were supplanted by new popular adventure fantasies with heroes whose adventures stylized the struggle of the American everyman with a modern industrialized, heterogeneous world. The challenges posed by an urbanizing society to traditional masculinity, threatened to a weaken men’s physical and mental form and to disrupt the United States’ vigorous transformation from uncivilized frontier to modern society.2 Many middle-class social commentators embraced modern industrialization while warning against “sexless” reformers who sought to constrain modern society’s excesses through regulations design to prevent social exploitation, environmental spoilage, and urban disorder.

    New pulp-related books and periodicals available from Michael Chomko for November & December 2008 During the second week of October, my wife and I spent a wonderful week in New York’s Adirondack Mountains. Dianne and I have been visiting this beautiful area for most of the thirty years we have been married. It’s a mixture of glacial lakes and rugged mountains, largely unspoiled by strip malls and the like. Our week was quiet, interesting, and to top things off, the weather was pretty darn good. Not bad for the middle of October. I’m sorry that this catalog is a little slow in coming. However, as I mentioned in my email, I’ve been extremely busy working with Jack Cullers, Ed Hulse, Chris Kalb and Barry Traylor, organizing and publicizing what we are calling PulpFest 2009. Billed as “The Summer’s Leading Pulp Convention,” PulpFest 2009 is a new and improved version of the venerable convention catering to fans and collectors of vintage popular fiction. It will be held from Friday, July 31 st , through Sunday, August 2 nd , at the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio. For further information, please visit our website at www.pulpfest.com. There you can download some of the publicity flyers that we have created for our convention and learn how to be added to our mailing list. Please try to support this new and exciting convention in any way that you can. Thanks. Our dining room is now filled with books. As soon as I’m done with this catalog, I’m going to start shipping the backlog of stock that arrived while I was on vacation and busy with PulpFest activities.
