 Okay, we’ll admit it--we’re stumped. If you’re wondering when our boy CJ ever gets the chance to sleep, well, we’re wondering the same thing. It seems every time we turn around these days our fearless leader has a new anthology coming out. This time, in Dragon’s Lure, it’s stories not just about dragons, but the things which attract them--gold, virgins, the moon, et cetera. Another fat collection of stories created by folks like John Grant, Mike Penncavage, CE Murphy, Keith DeCandido, Dave B Coe and a big bunch more. And of course, our boy CJ. It never ends!April 16, 2010  Here's some fun. Padwolf Publishing has just released "Dead to Rites," a collection of Patrick Thomas' Agent Karver stories. So, why is that newsworthy in this column? Outside of the fact we love all of Thomas' work, this particular volume features two stories with team ups between Thomas' Agent Karver and our boy CJ's Lai Wan. More than that, one of the pair features a three-way team up: Karver, Lai Wan, and John French's Bianca Jones. Head over to the store and grab this one right away! April 10, 2010  Well, here's some fun. Below is the cover for a new Moonstone widevision project put together by our boy CJ. It's a pulp era team-up featuring, as you can see on the cover, The Phantom Detective, The Domino Lady, Secret Agent X, the Black Bat, and the biggest surprise of all, the most famous of the pulp-era flying aces, G-8 and his Battle Aces!! It all takes place in the opening days of World War II--bullets, bloodshed and things from beyond! Another instant classic on its way from the Halcyon Henderson House of Wonder ... or something like that. March 20, 2010
 Huzzah ... another new CJ book has just hit the stands. This time it’s the collected stories of Blakely and Boles. Our boy has been doing tales of these two college professors that investigate the bizarre and unusual things of the world for several years, and now they’ve been put together in the book, "Where Angels Fear." It’s not available here at the store yet, but keep your eyes open for it. Not only does it contain all the stories CJ has written with long time writing partner Bruce Gehweiler, but it also features a new novella which ties all the sub-plots of the series together. It’s fun for all! March 01, 2010  Hold on to your hats, gang, this is big news! At long last, the audio version of our boy CJ’s classic supernatural detective novel, "The Things That Are Not There," is available, and it is out of this world! Audiorealms’ CEO himself produced, directed, and even voiced the prologue for it due to his own love for the series. Word is he wanted to voice the entire book himself, but he bowed to logic when master voice talent Charles McKibben, one of the greats from the Mel Blanc Studio became available. We’ve listened to the entire nine hours, and in our estimation, the only problem it has is that it’s only nine hours long and not more! The production is available in CD form right here in our own store, with copies going out signed by CJ if requested (to sign one means taking off the shrink wrapping). And, it’s also available as a download at theaudiobookshop.com.E-Yow, true believers ... what’re you waiting for? February 23, 2010  Yes, we know this event is a ways off, and that all the conventions and shows where our boy CJ is going to appear get listed in the column over to the right ... but this one is so jammed packed with great stuff (with the promise of more great stuff on the way), and we just wanted to make certain everyone knew about it. This is a one-of-a-kind event, and even those with no interest in making their way to Maryland should still click in to see just how different a weekend can get. February 10 , 2010 Every year our boy CJ makes certain he hits the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention. Because of all his work in the pulps, or with vintage television, like Kolchak: the Nightstalker, he's a natural for that show. They've gone after a great load of guests for this year and are close to signing a bunch of major talent, including Van Williams! With CJ penning the Green Hornet for Moonstone, this will be quite a meeting when they get together. Check out the Mid-Atlantic website in the upcoming CJH events section, or just keep monitoring this column for updates! January 22 , 2010  Lots of people seem to be reacting to CJ's latest novel, "Brooklyn Knight." There's a lot of reviews out there already, but don't worry, we won't be linking you to all of those. One thing we would like everyone to see is what CJ and the amazing Cleo Coyle cooked up (no pun intended, actually), over at her wonderful Mystery Lovers Kitchen blog.This is a great site for those who like food scenes in their mysteries, or just love food period. Follow the link provided below and check it out. Every day is fun there, but forgive us if we're partial to their use of our boy CJ's work. http://www.mysteryloverskitchen.com/2010/01/
cold-day-soup-by-brooklyn-knight-cj.htmlJanuary 10 , 2010  For those of you that don't know it, the first new CJ Henderson series to hit the stores in ten years is there right now! "Brooklyn Knight" is the first novel in the Piers Knight series. Piers is a curator at the fabled Brooklyn Museum. Unlike Teddy London, Piers has no supernatural powers. But, he does know how to manipulate the energies needed to utilize the mystic shields and weapons that have been created over the centuries. And, having free reign over the hundreds of thousands of artifacts stored in his museum, he does have quite an arsenal to choose from. And, considering the amount of menaces from beyond he faces in the first book alone, it looks like he's eventually going to need all of them! Short stories with Piers have appeared in the collections "Degrees of Fear," "Spells in the City," "The Anthology of Dark Wisdom" and "The Supernatural Investigators of CJ Henderson." There's also another one coming from a Canadian publisher later this year in a collection entitled "Monster Hunters." So, get it from your local bookstore, grab it from the store right here on the site, get a nearby library to order it for you, but whatever you do, get a hold of this one now. From the reaction already it looks like this series is going to be around for a long time! |
