If you are unfamilar with Paul Magrs's books and audios I think it's a shame. Paul has written some of my favorite fiction including several novels and audio plays based on the cult series Doctor Who. His own addition to the world of Doctor Who in the guise of Time Lady and trans-temporal adventuress Iris Wildthyme who has found life in her own series of audio spin-off's. The fun and spooky Brenda and Effie Mysteries which I have nearly read every single book in the series.  And now Paul is in the process of unleashing his most recent creation Vince Cosmos: Glam Rock Detective!!

To check out Paul's latest series, click on the link below for more information about Vince himself as well as how to pre-order the first adventure in the series:

Vince Cosmos: Glam Rock Detective

For those who love David Bowie, Marc Bolan and T-Rex, Brian Eno and the glammed up 1970's this series is for you. And even if the 1970's isn't your cup of tea, you'll still love it!

Diary of the Black Widow
Written and Illustrated by BRET M. HERHOLZ cover coloring by RORI SHAPIRO lettering by JOHN SHAVER

A young woman with a habit of seducing and killing men attracts the attention of an oblivious Detective and his helper. Will they solve the mystery behind these murders, or will the Black Widow strike again? Combining the illustrative style of Edward Gorey and the humor of Monty Python, Bret M. Herholz crafts a tale of mystery, humor, and suspense.

The Spaghetti Strand Murder
Written and Illustrated by BRET M. HERHOLZ

Lord Algernon Sloughshire has been found dead! The only clue to what caused the murder was a single strand of spaghetti found tied around his lordship's neck. Luckily there's only one person oblivious enough to "solve" this case, none other than the DETECTIVE INSPECTOR!

Unveiling the Spaghetti Strand Murder

Here's the cover for my upcoming graphic novel The Spaghetti Strand Murder. I am VERY happy with the work Peter Simeti did with the cover. One of the images I had requested for the look of the cover was to have images of the different characters on a strip of film. And it came out exactly the way I wanted it to!! I was also very pleased with the font for the title. It really fits the feel of the story.

I will let you know when it hits the stands!! Up after that, The Adventures of Polly and Handgraves: A Sinister Aura!!

Continuing work on the new projects and radio spot!!

Well, if you happen to be up between the hours of 12am to 2am Sunday March 9th, I will be doing an interview on Worcester Community Radio Station WCUW 91.3FM to promote the Boston Comic Con.

I also plan on promoting my own work as well as the UNDERCOVERFISH GROUP. But you can check out the station at:

www.wcuw.org

I've also been continuing my plan to work on two projects simultaniously. I've been working on pages for the book of sequential poems Joshua Michael Stewart and I have been planning as well as reworking the pages for Representation. I decided while I wait for the script to come back from writer/director/performer Ainsley Waller, I would try and start prettying up the original eight pages. And then from there, insert them in between the new scenes Ainsley is writing up.

I am happy to say I am very pleased with the way both projects are shaping up and hopefully I will have a few sneak peeks to post sometime soon.
