Please join Public Radio Tulsa’s Scott Gregory and me at 8 p.m. this Friday, Sept. 4, for the broadcast of our latest HIDDEN SIXTIES SUMMER SPECIAL.

My sincere apologies to all who tuned in to our HIDDEN SIXTIES SUMMER SPECIAL Friday night at 8 p.m. on Public Radio Tulsa, 89.5 FM, and publicradiotulsa.org. No one was more flabbergasted than me — like you, I was listening at home — unless it was my co-host, Scott Gregory. I have heard from a… Read More »HIDDEN SIXTIES TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES
Except for a couple of stories I sold to Warren’s fabled Eerie magazine in the very early ‘70s (just before Uncle Sam came along to whisk me away from my writing pursuits and drop me onto a helicopter carrier ferrying Marines to Viet Nam), The Twilight Avenger was the first comic book I ever scripted.… Read More »THE TWILIGHT AVENGER
Just in time for the holidays, it’s now easier than ever to pick up a copy of HARD-BOILED CHRISTMAS STORIES for your own library, or as a swell gift. You probably know the details: nine great tales of Yuletide homicide from some of the top pulp magazines of the 1930s and 1940s, plus the first… Read More »HARD-BOILED CHRISTMAS STORIES

Now, Heather’s returning to her hometown of Tulsa to celebrate the 30th anniversary of that iconic spooker, and I’m proud to say that I’ve been asked along for… Read More »HEATHER LANGENKAMP INTERVIEW
One of the hoariest of the cliches surrounding my profession is that writers should write about what they know. Thanks to my old Chelsea High School pal David Anderson, I’ve just been able to do that, and the resulting book, ED GALLOWAY’S TOTEM POLE PARK, is now available on Amazon. As a kid growing up… Read More »ED GALLOWAY’S TOTEM POLE PARK
I’m proud to call Bill Bernhardt a friend, and not just because he’s a New York Times bestselling author who’s entertained hundreds of thousands of people with his Ben Kincaid novels and other work. It’s also because he’s been so consistently kind to me and what I laughingly refer to as my career over our… Read More »ROSE STATE SHORT COURSE ON WRITING
Once again, Jack and Carole Bender, my good friends who write and draw the daily Alley Oop comic strip, are using a plot synopsis of mine. Of course, I couldn’t be happier nor more grateful. This time around, I’m especially delighted because I got to work in one of my favorite milieus: 1940’s Poverty Row… Read More »ALLEY OOP
