ASA WAS warm… too warm. He was sticky with sweat, and, worse than that, his cheek was damp with what was most likely his own drool. A burst of moist, dog breath-scented air made him grimace and open his eyes. Minion’s gaping pink maw filled his vision, which didn’t seem quite right. Did the dog somehow grow a foot? Plus, whatever Asa was lying on was harder than a pillow and moving. Frowning, he lifted his head and glanced up to find Danny out cold with his mouth hanging open. Asa had somehow fallen asleep draped across Danny’s chest, and he’d left an incriminating wet spot of drool on Danny’s shirt. He didn’t have time to try to sort through the implications of that realization before a knife of pain lanced through his skull and he moaned. He put a hand to his forehead and pushed himself upright as gingerly as he could manage. His stomach roiled and the knife in his brain changed into a bass drum, keeping time with his heartbeat. He moaned again and reached for the bottle of water some angel had left on the coffee table. Something had died in his mouth, and if he didn’t get rid of the taste soon, whatever was in his stomach threatened to make a reappearance. The thought of having to rush to the bathroom in his current state did not appeal, and he swallowed thickly. He took a few deep breaths and drank half the bottle of water before he could manage the childproof cap on the Tylenol the aforementioned angel —probably Danny—had also left on the table. Once he’d downed a couple of pills, he followed Minion’s persistent summons and shuffled over to the sliding glass doors to let him out. A cool, damp breeze wafted over him from outside, and he sighed in relief as he leaned on the doorjamb and squinted against the morning sunlight. After a few more deep breaths, he was feeling slightly more human, even if the throbbing in his head hadn’t subsided yet. He glanced over his shoulder at Danny’s sleeping form and tried to make sense of the jumble in his head. His current hangover and the open bottle of tequila on the coffee table helped fill in some of the blanks. “Shit,” he muttered. He’d had a bad night. It hadn’t started off too bad. He’d put on some music, pulled up some pictures, and decided to toast Sean’s memory with his favorite tequila. That had been the plan anyway. But obviously, things had gone south from there… probably around the third or fourth “toast” to Sean. With dawning embarrassment, he remembered drunk-dialing Danny at work, even if he didn’t recall exactly what he’d said. After a bit of a search, he found his phone on the floor by the sectional. He glanced at the history and was relieved that he hadn’t drunk-dialed anyone else. He lowered himself back onto the cushions, grabbed the bottle of water again, and downed the rest of it. He’d barely set it back on the coffee table when Danny groaned and rolled onto his side. Danny Doormat by Rowan McAllister. free ebooks download.

The story opens at Chandler High School. The year is 1943 and World War II is raging. Danny Walters is a good looking kid, with bright blue eyes and blond hair. He's tall and slim but his baby face belies his age. His rosy cheeks rarely need to be shaved. Danny hates his look and he hates the fact that while most of his classmates come from affluent families, his is a working class family living in a working class neighborhood that is part of the Chandler school district. Most of Danny's classmates wear expensive clothes and have plenty of spending money. Danny resents their opulence and their lack of compassion for him and his situation. To compensate, Danny makes up ridiculous stories. He is all bluster and bravado trying to gain acceptance from his peers. As a result, Danny has few friends. His classmates won't include him in their fraternities or social events. Most of the girls refuse to date him. Danny is only 18 years old but using a fake a ID, he goes to a club where he meets an older married woman whose husband is in the Army. The woman seduces Danny and over a period of time, teaches him the subtleties of satisfying women. Their secret affair, which the woman demands never must be revealed, goes on until he leaves for the service. Danny remains true to his promise. That act of fidelity was the most decent thing Danny ever did during his entire life. Danny graduates in January, 1944 and joins the Navy. After the war, he borrows money from his dad and takes flying lessons and in due course gains a pilot's license. Later, he gets a job as a steward for a major airline while continuing lessons to gain a multi-engine license hoping to become an airline pilot. While attending steward (flight attendant) classes, he and a female student have an affair that reveals the dark side of Danny's true nature. Danny gets a job as an airline pilot. After returning from a trip and still wearing his uniform, he stops at a high end bar in San Francisco. There he meets a beautiful girl who is taken in by the uniform. Danny is on his best behavior and after learning that the girls' parents are fabulously rich, he sets his cap to marry her. The girl becomes pregnant; her father insists they marry which is the outcome Danny hoped for.

Currently, William Patrick Maynard and I are writing about the programming that will be featured at PulpFest 2019. We’ll be posting about the panels and presentations through June 10.

The scheme. whose prime movers include the edirors of oo[n magazrnes, was broactred at the first get_together of fantasy writers and readers for four I'ears, lield in London at Whitsun. Editor John Carnelt revealed ihat N"ro was Worlds held up indeflnitely.!.et because the publishels had suspended operations. the last (October '47) issue had been oversold by 9,000 copies and the fourth, which was ready for press, tvould have met an even greater demand. The paper situation was such that no other puillisher would be likely to take over the magazine. But a felv who were concerned with its further advancement had agreed to join in launching a new company which, at the flrst opportunity, would use existing facilities for producing and distributing, and would also provide an opportunity for readers to give the enterprise further financial backing. These plans, and other ventures ilrat woutd develop if they were successful, were being prepared in detail and would be announced later.
