FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

for more information or ordering, go to http://prose-press.com
 
A high stakes game of cat-and-mouse plays out in dramatic fashion in a highly relevant thriller from Pro Se Productions, Owen Price’s BATTLEGROUND is now available in print and digital formats.
 
In order to achieve his goal of a sovereign Dixie Nation, fanatical Neo-Confederate dissident Thomas Marshall-megalomaniacal leader of the Southern Liberation Front- has forged an unholy alliance with Islamic radicals as well as various militant secessionist groups from around the globe. This clandestine conglomerate has spent years planning an international campaign of terror that will bring the world to the brink of World War III, thereby destabilizing global politics to the point that myriad governments become vulnerable to a coup-including that of the United States of America. His diabolical plan entering its final phase, Marshall begins to violently purge his organization of lackluster members. 
 
When Bradford County, Tennessee sheriff Craig Connor stumbles upon a pair of dismembered corpses branded with SLF tattoos, he begins to unravel an outlandish conspiracy orchestrated by Marshall and his revolutionary brethren. Joined in the field by rogue FBI agent Michelle Dobson, Sheriff Connor follows a trail of increasingly alarming clues that point toward the SLF committing a brazen act of terrorism upon American soil in the near future. In order to save the lives of thousands of civilians and potentially prevent the country he loves from being torn apart, Connor must find the elusive mastermind Thomas Marshall and put a stop to his outrageous scheme at any cost. In turn, Marshall must stay one step ahead of the surprisingly shrewd lawman and his beautiful, yet mysterious accomplice in order to fulfill his destiny.  
 
Featuring an evocative cover and logo design by Percival Constantine and print formatting by Antonino Lo Iacono and Marzia Marina, BATTLEGROUND STATE is available now at Amazon and Pro Se’s own store at for 15.00. 
 
This modern thriller is also available as an Ebook, designed and formatted by Lo Iacono and Marina for only $2.99 for the Kindle and for most digital formats via Smashwords.

Robert Kirkman: Invincible, Walking Dead, Wolf-Man

I wasn't actually a huge fan of Robert Kirkman when I first started reading his books.  He was competent, sure, but I didn't see the appeal-- The Irredeemable Ant-Man was a boring side story in the middle of  Civil War and  The Initiative (although I've since changed my mind about this), and his  Ultimate X-Men run was, in many places, a mixed bag (although I did very much enjoy his "Phoenix?" storyline).  And  Marvel Zombies  just seemed like a ridiculous idea--not that I bothered to try it at the time. Now, though?  I've completely reevaluated my opinion on his work, and when his name is attached to a project, I'm far more likely to give it a look.  I don't know if I'd classify him as a master storyteller or a comics icon--but he's very skilled, he has an incredible knack for dialog, and he writes stories that, no matter how ridiculous, seem real .  In a medium where characters frequently violate the rules of physics, that's not alway

What else did I finish reading last month?  Here’s a cross-section of various titles . . . . . . . . . WITCHBLADE #126 “War Of The Witchblade Part 2” by Ron Marz and Stejepan Sejic  (Top Cow/Image) Preface:  Now here’s an interesting concept! = In order to attract new readers to its’ titles Top Cow is giving out free books each month as part of it’s Let Us Win You Over project.  ( www.topcow.com/freecomics )  Every month it’s a different title. And they work through different comics shops each month as well.  In April the title was Witchblade #126 and one of the participating dealers was Captain Blue Hen Comics in Newark, DE (my preferred supplier) so voila! - - - I find a copy in my hands. Since the last time I explored the Witchblade series the mythology has expanded to a battle between the forces of light and dark with each side choosing its agents on Earth, hence the Darkness vs. the Witchblade.  I’m still not overly interested in this type of fare on a regular basis, but

INDIE COMICS: Huffin’ & puffin’ B.B. Wolf’s got the blues

BB WOLF AND THE THREE LPs  (Top Shelf, May 2010 hardcover, black & white, 86 pages,   $12.95)  As told by JD Arnold with illustrations by Richard Koslowski What got my attention immediately was the pairing up of a classic fairy tale with musical motifs.  That’s a combination that pushes two of my “hot buttons” - -  so I made it a must-read.  I was not disappointed.  This is a very entertaining and cleverly designed work that rivals Bill Willingham’s  creativity on the long-running FABLES series from Vertigo. As if taking the classic tale of the Big Bad Wolf and the Three Little Pigs and turning it upside down wasn’t enough to interest, BB WOLF AND THE THREE LPS  serves as an allegory for the oppression of  the black population in the deep South (Mississippi) in the 1920’s.  While they may be free (wolves),  the governing bodies (pigs) have the power to deny them their land, homes and possessions and even own the businesses and clubs they patronize as well as the shops they d
