<h5>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE--PRO SE PRODUCTIONS RELEASES SECOND SILVER MANTICORE VOLUME<br/> <br/> A popular New Pulp character makes his return to print today from Pro Se Productions and he’s not alone!<br/> <br/> The Silver Manticore-- To some, he is nothing more than an urban legend, rising from the fears of cowardly criminals. To others, he is a masked mastermind of evil cutting into the biggest schemes, helping himself to the largest share. And then there’s the truth--that the Manticore, unknown to both the law and the underworld, is a force of good merely posing as a crook! <br/> Author PJ Lozito’s New Pulp sensation returns in a collection of stories entitled SILVER MANTICORE: FRIENDS AND FOES<br/> <br/> THE SILVER MANTICORE: FRIENDS AND FOES by PJ Lozito is a collection of stories focusing on the heroes and villains, the sidekicks and henchmen that surround the mysterious masked crime fighter known as The Silver Manticore. The cover, wonderfully rendered by Pro Se Artist Adam Shaw with logo design by Perry Constantine, is reminiscent of the best classic Pulp covers. It features not only the Silver Manticore himself prominently, but members of the legions of good and evil ready to fight one another for or against the masked man.<br/> <br/> “PJ,” Tommy Hancock, Editor in Chief of Pro Se Productions says, “has captured the best of old and new with The Silver Manticore. Yes, all the classic nostalgic tropes are here that make this a stunning homage to classic Pulp and radio and serial heroes of the early 20th Century. But PJ also delivers the action and characterization as a whole in a very modern, concise style. Between the punches and gunshots, these figures become real people and that makes the four color nature of the tales in this collection that much brighter.”<br/> <br/> Regardless of what those who know of the mysterious figure believe, The Silver Manticore has come into contact and conflict with allies and enemies. This avenging vigilante has definitely made many friends and foes, each with their own stories! <br/> <br/> Pro Se Productions proudly presents SILVER MANTICORE: FRIENDS AND FOES by PJ Lozito. The follow up to the Pro Se Bestseller, THE STING OF THE SILVER MANTICORE, this volume presents a side of the Pulp hero that often goes unseen-- how those who stand beside and against what he does view him and his actions. <br/> <br/> Join The Silver Manticore in ten two-fisted, double-barreled tales where you will meet:<br/> <br/> The Maggot, who has used the very same methods of the Silver Manticore in his own war on crime, Doc Wylie, scientist and crime buster supreme, who has been pressed into aiding the Silver Manticore, Special Inspector Joe Casey of the N.Y.P.D., who secretly works for the Silver Manticore, Evan White, the African- American who inherited the silver mask in the 1950s and many others who have come to know The Silver Manticore for better or worse. <br/> <br/> Fight alongside PJ Lozito’s fantastic homage to classic heroes and those he encounters in SILVER MANTICORE: FRIENDS AND FOES from Pro Se Productions.<br/> <br/> SILVER MANTICORE: FRIENDS AND FOES, formatted for print by Perry Constantine, is available at Amazon as well as at Pro Se’s own store at <br/> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2Fof87x3r&h=oAQGnlvSJAQFvblv3ByuMUHjQS6IPZnSNuGZ4k7BrR0BXfg&s=1" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/of87x3r</a> for $12.00. The volume will be available as an ebook in the next week at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Smashwords for $2.99<br/> <br/> <br/> For more information or interviews with those involved with this work, contact Morgan Minor, Pro Se’s Director of Corporate Operations, at MorganMinorProSe@yahoo.com.

People can attend panels, go to readings, meet authors and creators, and do it right in front of their computer. Pro Se is definitely excited about this opportunity, not only because its a neat thing to be able to do, but also because it's a platform that allows us to reach out not just to our own little conclave of fans who frequent our site, see us at Conventions, and/or buy our books.<br/> This is an opportunity to open the doors of Pro Se up to any and all that have ever read a thriller and enjoyed it, who have ventured into Space and wanted more, who sneered with the villain and celebrated with the hero of some great story. Pro Se has all that and more to offer readers today, and although there are stories of every genre under our banner, they all have something in common. They are pure escapist over the top fun. And now, thanks to Shindig, Pro Se's "Puttin' The NEW In Pulp" Promotional Party is a chance for readers of all type to see what we do, meet our creators, hear some great stories, get great one day deals on Pro Se books, and even pick up some giveaways!"<br/> <br/> Attending the 'Pro Se- "Puttin' The NEW In Pulp" is free for anyone who wants to attend. Interact with creators, hear readings, participate in panels, take part in contests and simply learn about one of the brightest stars in modern pulp and adventure publishing. Both established Pro Se authors as well as new authors will be present. Past and current releases will be focused on, but there will also be much discussion on books and events to come from Pro Se.<br/> Come in for your favorite author or a panel subject that interests you, leave when you're done, then come back whenever you want to.

This is the sign in site for the event and will also be where times for panels, readings, and Q & As will be posted as a schedule becomes available.<br/> <br/> Pro Se also announces today that this event is only the first. Pro Se will be providing opportunities for readings, panels, and creator meet and greets as well as online launch parties for Pro Se staff and material in the future. "Expect," stated Hancock, "that an event, anywhere from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours, from Pro Se will happen every two weeks at a minimum, even more than that possibly with the fantastic books and such we have on the horizon."<br/> <br/> Saturday, October 13, 1 PM - 7 PM CST Pro Se Productions - "Puttin' The NEW In Pulp" Promotional hosted by shindig.com.

<h6>" Congratulations to P.J. Lozito and Pro Se Press for scoring this major coup. I’ve seen Pro Se and Airship 27 come close before but nobody has pulled it off until now. Obviously, since this is the first list of a new month, several books that had been eligible no longer qualify for the list (Nancy Hansen’s latest, Pro Se Presents # 6, Under the Moons of Barsoom, etc.).</h6>
<h6>We’re all still waiting on the new Doc Savage book from Altus, as well… but none of that takes away from the achievement that Mr. Lozito and his publisher have pulled off. My hat is off to them! And it’s a great sign that the top four books are all from different publishers! In addition to The Silver Manticore title, we had a new title debut in the form of Pro Se Presents # 9, which hits at # 6."</h6>Announcing THE STING OF THE SILVER MANTICORE!tag:crimespace.ning.com,2012-05-05:537324:BlogPost:3420412012-05-05T19:08:54.000ZPJ LOZITOhttp://crimespace.ning.com/profile/PJLOZITO
