Cover art for THE SPECIALISTS by Derrick Ferguson and Joel Jenkins.
I'm very lucky.
I have been very fortunate to do the cover art for a book series fromPulpWork Press. Author Joel Jenkins writes a series of fast-paced action thrillers featuring the Gantlet Brothers. The five Gantlet siblings are rock and roll musicians and guns for hire. The books are a series of high octane chases, escapes, mysteries and a whole lot of fun.
Because I have done the cover art I have had the privilege of getting to read each of the books before they are released and they have gotten better each time.
Pulpwork Press is also the publisher of Derrick Ferguson's DILLON books. Dillon is a larger-than-life adventurer in the tradition of the old hero-pulps. Ferguson's Dillon books are amazing and great fun to read.
So when DILLON teams up with SLY GANTLET in THE SPECIALISTS you know the results are going to be explosive.
I loved this book. It is a blast to read and you can tell that Joel and Derrick had a blast writing it. If you are a fan of either series then getting this book is a no-brainer. If you aren't familiar with these characters than, by all means, become familiar with them! These books are that good!
THE SPECIALISTS will be released this May.
I've been here and there. I've drawn a lot of pictures. I've written a bit, too. I'm not good at this self-promotion thing. Look, you want to know about me? just visit these websites. Okay?

So here is one of my latest covers! It is the cover art for Joel Jenkins' upcoming short story collection THE WEIRD WORLDS OF JOEL JENKINS coming soon from Pulpwork Press.
It's a wraparound cover, which is something I haven't done in a while, and, as you can see, it had a lot of characters to depict. Go visit Joel's site and check out his work. He also has a rundown of who all the characters are.

Pulpwork Author Joel Jenkins applies his purple prose to a different sort of tale, recounting the eventful life of a close friend. This fast-moving biography is packed with action and pathos and is available right here at a 20% discount if you type in the savings code of 5YRZ6A8W.
September Peterson has received death sentences many times from well-meaning doctors speaking in hushed tones. Living with cystic fibrosis means that he'll die from cystic fibrosis--a long and excruciating death--unless, by tempting fate, he can find a quicker, faster way to go.
When September's cheerleader fiancee dumps him for a college man, September picks fast cars, motorcycles, and hard alcohol to do the trick, then witnesses his life unravel into a series of death defying encounters--all the while battling his own inner demons.
One Foot in My Grave is also available for just $2.99 at Amazon andBarnes and Noble in Kindle and Epub formats, respectively.

It's been a busy year but I don't have much to show for it at the moment. I've done a lot but nothing that I can share here except for the above which is artwork for a book by Joel Jenkins called ONE FOOT IN MY GRAVE which will be available in 2013. It was a departure for me because it was not a fantasy or science fiction book but a biography.
I've also done some SF and fantasy covers and in 2013 which I hope to be able to share with you soon, as well as an amazing wraparound cover which is as exciting as all hell and which is just starting to come together now.
I will also be doing the covers for a four-book series which I am SUPER excited about!
I also have a number of projects, some secret, some not-so secret (like the fact that I will be blogging for the brand new AMAZING STORIES website) and my alter-ego, Jack Mackenzie's second book, DEBT's PLEDGE which will be available in 2013.
Jack Mackenzie will also have some more KA SIRTAGO AND POET books available for Kindle and other e-reading devices and hopefully a print version as well.
So to all you who have stuck with me during these long and fulsome tirades about myself, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You guys are all fantastic and I wish you all the best in 2013.
And have some swell New Years celebratin' along the way!

The Pulp Ark Award Nominations were announced and the cover art I did for Joel Jenkins' book STRANGE GODS OF THE DIRE PLANET, has been nominated! I'm sure it's all a horrendous mistake and I have absolutely zero chance of winning, not just because all the other nominees are so fantastic, but because among the nominees are Michael William Kaluta and Joe Devito!
Nevertheless I am absolutely ecstatic to be nominated and to be in such illustrious company!
You can see all the nominees here.

Here's a cover I did for Pulpwork Press.
Pulpwork Press has just released Joel Jenkins' book THE GANTLET BROTHERS GREATEST HITS. Not a sequel, per se, but featuring the same characters from his previous book THE NUCLEAR SUITCASE.
Who are the Gantlet Brothers? They are East German brothers who escaped from behind the Iron Curtain and have formed a heavy metal band. They also take on spy missions for the government on the side. Think a James Bond adventure but instead of the British Super Spy it stars Motorhead.
Here's what the book's back cover says:
From the broken and dusty terrain of Egypt's Qattara Depression to the grimy underbelly of New York City, erstwhile rock musicians and guns for hire, the Gantlet Brothers, use charm, blades, bullets, and fists to plow a path through amorous starlets with ill intentions, bounty hunters, a deranged serial killer and terrorists hell-bent on bringing down nuclear annihilation.
These are the Gantlet Brothers' greatest hits collected for the first time and including two never before published stories.
They're fun adventures and a great read. Go here and you can pick up a copy at 30% off the cover price.
