This is a special Pulp AdventureCon South, to be held in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, to feature some iconic books, authors, and artists. The event is not in a hotel, but a civic center at a prominent beach, surrounded by numerous hotels. There are no room blocks because it’s at the height of tourist season in February. The location offers Lovecraft ties in David Goudsward’s “ADVENTUROUS LIBATIONS: Lovecraft in Florida” book. Goudsward will be a guest. Bold Venture Press’s unmatched licensed line of ZORRO Publications will be represented at the event, with a newly licensed book coming soon, ZORRO: THE LEGEND CONTINUES, by author Mario Alberto Lopez of Miami. Also the Presidential Award winning artist PEREGO, of Daytona Beach, who has done Zorro covers and interior sketches for Bold Venture’s books will be auctioning some of his original art. There will be much more, so sign up soon since space is limited to 32 tables (of which three are already accounted for). The list of hotels appears under Location on the show website

Ready from Bold Venture Press **O'Brien #8 Shoot to Kill! by Ben Bridges

https://www.boldventurepress.com/obrien/

*The Texas Rangers sent Carter O’Brien south of the border with orders to the murderous bandit Salazar — whose gang of cut-throats would fight to the death to save him. O’Brien would have to fight them all.

*Author Ben Bridges (whose real name is David Whitehead) born in London in 1958, has written in a number of genres: mysteries, romances, horror and science fiction, but about 60 of his 90 books have been westerns—at least 20 Amazon No 1 bestsellers. In 2022 Ben’s contribution to the western was recognized by The Western Fictioneers, and this American organization presented him with their prestigious Life Achievement Award.

A reaction by Titan Silver Book Award winner Katherine Kerestma in THE JOURNAL OF THE FANTASTIC IN THE ARTS (2026 volume 27, number 1) to Dave Goudsward’s “Adventurous Liberation: H.P. Lovecraft in Florida”**from Bold Venture Press:

“The scholarship of Goudsward’s writing is formidable, the bibliography impressive …”

AND

Lovecraft’s … “personal relationships are the core of Goudsward’s study.”

“Adventurous Liberation” the reviewer says “is an integrated literary history, putting back together all the elements of the much-loved man and revered artist-philosopher that have been neglected or discounted by his biographers and critics” … “the story of people” … with addendums, not just the writers Lovecraft interacted but more … as example a “versatile and intellectual handyman, for instance, on the Barlow estate who fought heroically against economic and class barriers, trying his hand at numerous trades, and seizing every educational and vocational opportunity that presented, to better his economic circumstances: as a printer, an archaeologist assistant and student, a painter” …

He brings a life of excellent creativity together with 50 photographs culled from more than 55 years of trekking from rural Ohio to the backroads of Florida.

Faced with mounting pressure, the museum’s director assembles a covert recovery team. Among the top contenders: the Chandra sisters. FBI Special Agent Mimi Chandra and her sister, U.S. Attorney Nimisha Chandra, join forces with elite operatives from Chicago PD and Scotland Yard.But as the investigation unfolds, the sisters find themselves locked in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the Silent Renaissance — a shadowy syndicate hell-bent on keeping the stolen treasures hidden forever.

A new collection of poems E. Doyle Gillespie demonstrates he is truly a master of the craft. A previous book got short shrift, released during COVID and the riots when he was a Baltimore policeman. Both books are available from Bold Venture Press.

Poems in “The Slow Lament of Dying Ice” will transport the reader to smoke filled cafes, shadowy conversations whispered over glasses of crimson wine, and cobbled stone streets with stories they'll never forget and poems presenting an apt study of the human condition ... “He weaves beautifully visual storytelling with harsh truths," says Hillary Gonzalez, author of Seasons; Wild, Unfelt World; and Where the Osprey Nest.

“Aerial Act” invites us to take a sampling of the human condition to see how we ride its ebb and flow, and how life consumes itself to live again, how the body endures trauma and is reborn to live be again.

Doyle-Gillespie holds a degree in History from George Washington University, and an MLA from Johns Hopkins University. He is the author of three other books — Masala Tea and Oranges, On the Later Addition of Sancho Panza , and Socorro Prophesy.
