News... January 26, 2012 We just had to throw up this unusual flier for a personal appearance our boy CJ is making in Manhattan in February. The disc says it all, so take a look and see if it appeals. We'll be there, that's for sure! December 24, 2011 At long last, our boy CJ and his extremely talented daughter Erica have done a follow-up to their overwhelming hit, Baby’s First Mythos. World Bestiary: A Thorough Account is a compendium of monsters from around the world, lovingly illustrated by Erica, with accompanying, explanatory text from ... well ... you know who. 100 pages, color, hardback ... what more could anyone want? November 29, 2011 Our boy CJ certainly seems to be all over the revival of the classic pulp character, The Spider: Master of Men. In the first Spider collection he had three stories (while everyone else was limited to but a single tale). He got to write the first of the Spider widevision comics, and soon we’ll be showing you the cover for the new Spider novel he’s written, the first to reach the public in sixty-five years! But, this announcement is for something else we find really cool. Moonstone has gathered together every Spider widevision comic and bound them together in this stunning looking new hardback edition. And, they had our boy write a new Spider adventure in which his aides Nita and Ram Singh take on an army of zombies! Sweet! November 20, 2011 It had to happen. Moonstone has finally gathered every single Kolchak: the Nightstalker short story ever written and put them together in one stunning new volume. Forty-three stories, all new, no adaptations of episodes, including not only our boy CJ's classic in which after thirty-five years of neglect, Kolchak finally runs headlong into HP Lovecraft's mythos, but another great first ... Kolchak meets the head vampire from Dark Shadows, Barnabas Collins! Another triumph from Moonstone featuring our boy CJ in the lead story! October 18, 2011 Hey, Hey ... here's some fun. Moonstone is doing a widevision adaptation of our boy CJ's first Kolchak: the Nightstalker short story. Whether you've seen the story or not before, you'll get another chance when they reprint it with the art of the fabulous Mr. Hack, the same artist who brought the last of CJ's Kolchak widevision books to life. Of course, we wouldn't just tease you about art and not show you some. It'll be a while before the entire story is done, but for now, here's the same preview we received. Enjoy.!  Click for preview. October 14, 2011 Our boy CJ sent this clip around to his merry band of mischief makers after his pal, this quite scary ex-intelligence op (honest--he's like if Mr. Clean and the Loch Ness Monster had a child), passed it on to him. As it's a message he's given to so many in his own way to others, he thought ... hey, can we link this up so all our hardboiled fans can see it? The clip is from Rocky V, and if this one doesn't show why Stallone got where he is, then nothing will. Enjoy. Then call your mothers. http://youtu.be/_Z5OookwOoY

Wow, here we go ... it's the first sneak peak at the cover art for Hellfire Lounge 2! The first did so well, Marietta Publishing and editor/creator R. Allen Lieder are at it again. We don't have the final figures yet, but we know our boy CJ has at least eight stories in this one. More big fun from Marietta, and of course, our boy CJ!

Take a good look at this photo, gang. Yep, believe it or not, that's our boy CJ, or more correctly here, the Right Reverend CJ Henderson performing an actual marriage. Didn't know he could do that, did you? Well, neither did we. The wedding was performed this past January, held in the middle of one of New York City's most beautiful parks. We're told that everything went perfectly.

Of course, your question most likely is, why did you wait so long to tell us? Well, first off, it did take a while to get the photos. But also, there's something quite special about this particular bride. Take a closer look at her in the next picture, and then we'll tell you who she is.


Take a good look. The bride is the best friend of CJ's daughter, Erica, Erica being, as many of you know, the artist of the insane children's book "Baby's First Mythos." This lovely young woman is something else in the wonderful world of CJ Henderson, however. She was the model for the character Bridget Elkins, the summer intern in his big hit from last year, "Brooklyn Knight." So, since she also makes an appearance in the sequel, "Central Park Knight," which just hit the stores, we thought we'd give everyone a peek. Now, when you're wondering, "where do authors get their ideas" ... well ... now you have some insight.


One last shot from the same wedding. Everyone that knows our boy CJ knows he's married. Or at least, they know he says he's married. But, because of their conflicting schedules, Mrs. CJ has never been able to accompany him to any of his convention appearances. Well, for those who don't believe there even is a Mrs. CJ Henderson, here she is. Grace T. Lo, as radiant and gorgeous as her husband (off to the right in the photo, hiding in the shadows, still eating) is un-radiant and non-gorgeous.

It was a beautiful wedding, but with a bride like that, and guests like Grace, how could it not be beautiful?

Well ... we didn't get the front cover yet to HELLFIRE LOUNGE2, but we did get the back cover art in full color, so we thought, what the hell, let's throw it up. Look's pretty spiffy. Of course, we're more interested in which of our boy CJ's stories are going to be used in the second volume, but this stuff is fun to, so enjoy!

BIG NEWS ON UPCOMING CJH RELEASE

April 14, 2011 We have something different for you this time around in the short story section, and wow, it’s a corker! Until the end of May, to celebrate the release of Central Park Knight, the sequel to our boy CJ’s latest hit, Brooklyn Knight, we’re going to be running three shorts starring the series’ hero, Piers Knight. And, these aren’t just any stories, no siree. Well, not one of them, anyway. No, the big news is, the story An Excess of Joy is an extra-special bonus because after CJ wrote it, he realized it was the perfect beginning for a novel. That’s right, even though it was done to be a complete, stand-alone story, it’s also the opening chapters of Central Park Knight. Now, don’t ever say we don’t take care of you here!

April 13, 2011

For those CJ fans that will be at the World Horror event, EDGE Science Fiction and Fantasy Publishing's multi-author book launch at World Horror Con will take place Friday, April 29, in the Con Suite from 2-4. They will be releasing "Chilling Tales", "Rigor Amortis" and, for those who can't get enough of our boy CJ, "Those Who Fight Monsters", as well as giving some sneak peeks of the EDGE Fall Horror line up, including "EVOLVE Two: Vampire Stories of the Future Undead" edited by Nancy Kilpatrick and "Gaslight Arcanum: Uncanny Tales of Sherlock Holmes" edited by J. R. Campbell and Charles Prepolec. Hey, it can't all be CJ all the time, but stop in if you can.








April 11, 2011

Hey, hey, big news ... our boy CJ has been in yet another award-winning anthology. The EPIC folks have wisely once more granted one of their nice, shiny awards on the folks who put together "Bad-Assed Faeries 3: In All Their Glory" as best ebook anthology of the year. There's no way of knowing how much our CJ's story "Return of the King," one of his wacky Darby comedies, had to do with the win, but we're assuming it couldn't have hurt.










April 2, 2011

Just because we love to show things off, here's a new piece of Ben Fogletto art, scheduled for the back cover of R. Allen Leider's Hellfire Lounge2. Our boy CJ had a whopping ten stories in the first volume, and we hear he's got at least eight in this upcoming sequel. E-Yow! Wish they'd sent us the front cover, though ... and some color. Get on the stick, guys. CJ's fans want to see everything!









March 10, 2011

For those who have been waiting, and even for those who haven't, the third book in the award-winning Defending the Future series is finally ready. This terrific science fiction military series has reaped praise from every direction, and in no small part due to our boy CJ's creation of his wacky scifi musical comedy Tales of the Roosevelt series, featuring Rocky and Noodles. More fun for all!
















February 28, 2011

Close on the heels of the release of our boy CJ's Steam-Powered Love comes an anthology of stories built around the concept of what happens when the age of steam comes up against the age of magic. Of course, CJ has a story here, or why else would we mention it? Hell, this one looks worth it for the snappy cover alone. Enjoy!

















February 10 , 2011

Big things happening at Moonstone. The license-holders for the great pulp character, the Spider: the Master of Men, have brought our boy CJ in a number of times to do comics and short stories for them. Well now, the last Spider novel ever done back in the pulp era, which went unpublished back in the day, is going to be printed at last. How does that affect CJ? It affects him in the best way ever, because he's just written the first new Spider novel in over 65 years, a direct sequel to the one not seen in all that time! The illustration that follows is a rough sketch for the wrap-around cover Moonstone is planning. You saw it here first!


January 23, 2011

Well, at long last Moonstone is finally going to be unveiling their much hinted-at, much anticipated new pulp magazine. The cover (below) shows off our boy CJ's feature, a new Green Hornet story (no, not based on the new movie version ... CJ goes for the more classic, less crappic versions of characters)! There's a lot of excitement about this new move of Moonstone's. So far, their Return of the Originals (kicked off, once again, by our boy CJ and his Battle for LA widevision novella [featuring the first ever team-up between Secret Agent X, the Black Bat, the Domino Lady, G-8 and his Battle Aces and the Phantom Detective {see cover somewhere below}]) series is generating a lot of very positive buzz. Let's hope it continues!




January 18, 2011

Hey, hey, gang ... check it out. Moonstone is going to be doing a compendium of everything they've published using our boy CJ's big break out female character, Lai Wan. That means all the comic stories in one place, plus the Lai Wan/Kolchak the Nightstalker team-up story. They're also going to be running a brand new story which places our heroine in a novella-length sequel to HP Lovecraft's "The Dunwich Horror." And, if you think that's exciting, consider the tiny tid-bit that they might be squeezing in even one more little treat so top-secret even we can't find out about it. It's slated for a June release. Until then, enjoy the cover, gang!


January 13 , 2011

At long last, STEAM-POWERED LOVE is a reality. There was a little bit of a hold-up with the cover apparently, but all is swell now. This volume collects all the stories our boy CJ has written about the Pelgimbly Institute for the Advanced Sciences, as well as one by veteran hardboiled writer Jack Dolphin and one by the irrepressible John L. French (there's also a quite wacky entry put together by John L. and CJ together!). People have been waiting for this one for years as CJ slowly assembled the tales for it, but considering that the extra time allowed for a cover to be done by Marvel Comics and animation veteran Mike Harris, who cares? Also, add in that this gathering of off-kilter sci fi comedies was then edited by none other than John Rennie, the twenty-year editor-in-chief of Scientific American, well, just how much more could this one possible get? This one will premier at TempleCon, the first weekend in February, in RI, and after that, the whole world can get copies. Most excellent news!
