GREEN LAMA: UNBOUND - "One of the Best Superhero Novels of 2010"

Check out this posting at superheronovels.com which listed my first novel Green Lama: Unbound one of the best superhero novels of 2010; plus he's looking forward to "Green Lama: Crimson Circle!"

http://superheronovels.com/2010/12/25/the-best-of-2010-and-a-peek-at-2011/

2011 is going to be a busy year for yours truly. 

For starters, here's a preview for the upcoming short story "Dock Doyle," a Adam Garcia twist on the Doc Savage pastiche to be featured in Airship 27's "Mystery Men Vol. 2."

But that's not all!

Along with "Crimson Circle" the market will be flooded with two more Green Lama shorts!

First, is "Green Lama and the Dealers of Death," a comic short written by myself and Ben Granoff, art by the amazing Mike Fyles.

Second is the original short "Final Column" to be included in Vol. 3 of Altus Press's Green Lama reprints.

Plus there's a few mystery projects that are currently in the works. That I'm really eager to share with you... but not just yet.

Stay tuned folks. 2011 will be amazing.

Fun Facts: Green Lama: Unbound #2

One of the best parts about writing a period piece with a public domain character is the chance to create a kind of "shared universe." Alan Moore did this in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and Philip Jose Farmer (and by extension, Win Scott Eckert) created the Wold Newton Universe. In GREEN LAMA: UNBOUND, aside from the obvious Green Lama/Cthulhu Mythos crossover, there are several pulp and movie cameos that weave through the novel. Here's a shortlist of the non-spoliers:

-Captain Hazzard is referenced and makes an appearance as one of the Green Lama's pupils. He also indirectly provides the Green Lama with some much needed aid.

-Lance Star, Dan Fowler, Jim Anthony are all referenced by Jean. All of whom have stories published by Airship 27.

-Atop the Empire State Building, Caraway recalls the "rampaging ape" that was killed there.

-The Nazis reference the Toht and Vogel embarrassments.

-The character Rick Masters originally appeared in back-up stories in the Green Lama comics, and only first made his pulp appearance in Kevin Noel Olson's "Shiva Endangered"

-The serial Undersea Kingdom is referenced, partially as foreshadowing.

-The term "color out of space" is used.

Believe me, this is only the tip of iceberg.

Fun Facts: Green Lama: Unbound #1

Here's an ongoing series on undefined length highlighting little cameos, nerdy references, etc. that litter GREEN LAMA: UNBOUND.

We'll start off with a quickie:

The "Third Jade Tablet" makes its appearance in the novel. The "Tablet" -- really an egg --  and the Shard blade that broke off from it are both described as "crystalline," and while it is connected to the same power source of the other Two Tablets it is implied that the Third Tablet is extraterrestrial.

And while I never say it in the book, for all intents and purposes, you can consider the Third Jade Tablet to be made of kryptonite.

So, yeah, The Green Lama? Could totally kick Superman's ass.
