Pro Se Productions, a cutting edge independent Publisher,
announced the beginning of a new digital line.
The best short fiction in Genre Fiction and New Pulp will now be
available as digital ebook singles through Pro Se Productions’ PRO SE SINGLE
SHOT digital imprint.
“There’s nothing like,” says Tommy Hancock, Pro Se’s
Editor in Chief, “a really good short story to an avid reader. And now, thanks to the wonders of eBooks, the
ability to pick up one story instead of an entire collection is literally at a
fan’s fingertips. Whether it’s a story
from an existing collection, like the first four in the debut of our PRO SE
SINGLE SHOT line, or tales to tease an upcoming work, or even short stories
exclusive to the imprint, PRO SE SINGLE SHOT lets readers get a taste of New Pulp
in easy to read and easy to get bites.”
PRO SE SINGLE SHOT titles will be available for 99 cents
via Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Smashwords.
Although word count will vary, the featured stories will
generally be 15,000 words or less. Covers for the Ebooks will either be
redesigned covers of the full length collections the stories appear in or, for
the tales exclusive to the line, newly commissioned works of art.
“PRO SE SINGLE SHOT,” comments Derrick Ferguson, whose
story ‘Dillon and the Alchemist’s Morning Coffee’ is one of the four debut
singles, “is a great way to get acquainted with what Pro Se is all about
without breaking open the piggy bank.
Just as the name implies, it’s a straight shot of pure pulp adventure
that’s guaranteed to get your heart pumping and your blood racing.”
To kick off the line, Pro Se Productions has taken four
of the best stories from its existing catalog and made them into Pro Se Single
Shots. Ferguson’s story, as featured in BLACK PULP, joins Andrea Judy’s ‘The
Bone Queen’- the original short story introducing her stunning Pulp villainess
in THE PULPTRESS collection, as well as two tales from Barry Reese’s REESE
UNLIMITED imprint- ‘Kaslov’s Fire’ from THE ROOK VOLUME 2 SPECIAL EDITION and
‘The Girl with the Phantom Eyes,’ from THE ADVENTURES OF LAZARUS GRAY VOLUME
ONE.
“I’m excited,” says Reese, “about this new and affordable
way for readers to discover my pulp heroes! Pro Se has done a great job
selecting stories that are exciting gateways into these series.”
The first four singles- THE BONE QUEEN, THE GIRL WITH THE
PHANTOM EYES, DILLON AND THE ALCHEMIST’S MORNING COFFEE, and KASLOV’S FIRE are
now available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Smashwords. Four additional singles will be released the
week of Christmas as a second wave in the line’s premiere. After that, at least
two new singles will be released every two weeks.
PRO SE SINGLE SHOT titles are formatted by Russ Anderson
and the line’s banner/logo is designed by Jeff Hayes.
Author of THE BONE QUEEN, Andrea Judy adds, "I'm
very excited to be included, and happy that Pro Se is expanding into this line
of ebooks. I think it's amazing."
