They grew from small and middle into monsters. The brand has items for sale everywhere in every form imaginable.

    All Stories Read and Back…

    Four Months of Pulphouse Submissions All Read… Thank you, everyone, for giving me a chance to read and possibly buy a story for Pulphouse by backing the Bryant Street Kickstarter back in February.  I had some great reading.

    After a Couple of Months Away… Tomorrow we launch at noon the GHOST OF A CHANCE Kickstarter Campaign. We are finally rebranding my GHOST OF A CHANCE books into something I can be proud of.
