In My Shorts!

My second eBook from Buffalo Avenue Books has just gone online at Smashwords.com and is available for download! It's called In My Shorts: Hitler's Bellhop and Other Short Stories, and looks something like this...

eBook Price: $8.99 USD. 40,570 words. Fiction by Paul Kupperberg, published by Buffalo Avenue Books at Smashwords.com on December 14, 2010. 

Included are three previously published short stories, "Reflected Glory," (from the anthology Superheroes), "Food For the Beast" (from Fear Itself), and "Man Bites Dog" (from Vampires: Dracula and the Undead Legions), as well as three never-before-published pieces:

"Hitler's Bellhop," a story told by a film magazine essay and the lost fragments of a Jerry Lewis screenplay that never was but, really, could have been;

"A Stone for the Grave of Mr. Aronson," a mood piece about a man's last hour of life, set in a lonely graveyard;

"The Zombie King," a piece of flash fiction that takes a Roger Cormanish look at the New Testament.

The cover is courtesy of Kansas City's own Rick Stasi, my pal and graphic artist extraordinaire.

You Never Call, You Never Visit!

Over on my new Buffalo Avenue Books site, I've kind of started following the whole struggle between Traditional Brick and Mortar Publishing and the rapidly evolving world of eBooks. Today, Google jumped into the market with both feet...looking to land right on Amazon's throat.

And while you're there, I hope you'll buy a copy of Two Tales of Atlantis, two related short stories by yours truly and BAB's first offering. Promo code XC37T gets you 20% off the $3.99 price.

Thanks!

eBook Price: $3.99 USD. 15170 words. Fiction by Paul Kupperberg and published by Buffalo Avenue Books on November 30, 2010.
Paul Kupperberg (writer/creator of the DC Comics series Arion, Lord of Atlantis) creates a new Atlantean realm in these two stories of an immortal sorcerer and his oft-reincarnated warrior lover. In “Walk Upon the Waters,” the sorcerer Thalis sails on the enchanted ship Yar with only his memories of those he has lost for companionship as he heads into the final battle for the destiny of Atlantis. Then, in “Passed Lives,” an aging peasant awakens in the middle of her ordinary life to realize she is Khana, the latest reincarnation of Thalis’ warrior lover and must leave her family and home to go off to war and find her lost love...and learn which of the two hearts beating within her she must follow.

Coming Soon to an eBook Near You!

I'm about to dip my toe into the warm, welcoming electron flow of ePublishing with Two Tales of Atlantis. This little e-volume features two prose short stories using some familiar territory for me: An immortal sorcerer in ancient Atlantis. If you're familiar with my DC Comics series Arion, Lord of Atlantis and squint real hard while reading them, you won't be disappointed, but knowledge of my sordid comic book past isn't required.

The cover was designed and executed by Kansas City's own Rick Stasi, a great friend, Roman, and  countryman! As always, thanks, brother!

It will be uploaded in the next couple of days...and you guys will be the first to know when it's available.
