And if you haven’t read any of the stories yet, now would be a good time to click the link above and get at least one of the collections. I recommend starting… Continue reading BBC Video on the Zaporozhian Cossacks

I have read some stories by him in the 1940s too and felt that he was one of the better writers in the forties. He wrote excellent historical naval fiction, but sadly there are none available now. As… Continue reading R.W. Daly – Seeker of the Deep

The authors and their stories had been forgotten by most people. Who’d have thought that a pulp author would have a website or could publish an ebook? But here we… Continue reading Pulp author with a website of his own – James P. Webb
