We have a special treat for this month’s Fight Card release.Fight
Card: Bareknuckle Barbarian features a one-two punch of stories featuring
Robert ‘Bob” E. Howard himself as the two-fisted hero of his own pulp tales.
Award winning author Teel James Glenn writing as Jack Tunney
gives life to the wonder of what adventures Bob Howard might have enjoyed had
his life not ended so tragically early.
Fight Card:
Bareknuckle Barbarian sports a beautiful painted cover by Carl Yonder with
text by David Foster.
FIGHT CARD: BAREKNUCKLE BARBARIAN Can a poor Texan pulp writer survive the bare
knuckle brutality of New York? Robert E. ‘Bob’ Howard is forced to find out
when he stumbles upon an impromptu match in an alley on his first day in the
Big Apple. From there, it is a trip to the circus and a confrontation with a
gambling overlord climaxing in a bloody fight to the finish in a squared circle
of death…all before landing on the shores of old Ireland, where he will face a
strange and ancient danger in a very different circle of bare knuckle justice. Two fisted tales straight from the days of the
pulp excitement, served with a side order of ‘what might have been’ fantasy, as
Robert E. Howard – the writer who gave us Conan and Solomon Kane – lives his
adventures himself. Pulp Award winning author Teel James Glenn writing
as Jack Tunney takes the readers back to a time that never was for adventures
that should have been!

AUDIO BOOK NOW AVAILABLE! FIGHT CARD: FELONY FISTS BY PAUL BISHOP
Los Angeles 1954. Patrick "Felony" Flynn has been fighting all his life. Learning the "sweet science" from Father Tim the fighting priest at St. Vincent's, the Chicago orphanage where Pat and his older brother Mickey were raised, Pat has battled his way around the world - first with the Navy and now with the Los Angeles Police Department. Legendary LAPD chief William Parker is on a rampage to clean up both the department and the city. His elite crew of detectives known as The Hat Squad is his blunt instrument - dedicated, honest, and fearless. Promotion from patrol to detective is Pat's goal, but he also yearns to be one of the elite - and his fists are going to give him the chance. Gangster Mickey Cohen runs LA's rackets, and murderous heavyweight Solomon King is Cohen's key to taking over the fight game. Chief Parker wants Patrick "Felony" Flynn to stop him - a tall order for middleweight ship's champion with no professional record. Leading with his chin, and with his partner, LA's first black detective Tombstone Jones, covering his back, Patrick Flynn and his Felony Fists are about to fight for his future, the future of the department, and the future of Los Angeles.
