This coming weekend, fans of pulp-era heroes and authors like Doc Savage, The Shadow, and The Phantom, Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs, and Conan the Barbarian creator Robert E. Howard will be gathering at PulpFest, the annual pulp-fiction celebration being held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Pittsburgh-Cranberry, in Mars, Pennsylvania.
Among the attendees at this get-together will be author Richard C. White, who’ll be promoting his latest SWC release, the sci-fi steampunk novel On Wings of Steel: The Darkside Chronicles, Book 1, in which Erica Halgrim, a member of the Angels of Steel courier service, finds herself drawn into a political plot—and possibly murder—at the risk of her own life. No doubt he’ll also be promoting his noir-fantasy story collection Chasing Danger: The Case Files of Theron Chase, in which a private eye works the back streets of the city of Calasia on behalf of supernatural clients in trouble, and finds his hands full of danger, death, and femme fatales!
Rich is the author of a growing list of StarWarp Concepts titles: the swashbuckling adventure novel Harbinger of Darkness; the fantasy-adventure story collection For a Few Gold Pieces More; the writers’ and RPG gamemasters’ aid Terra Incognito: A Guide to Building the Worlds of Your Imagination; the supernatural-superhero graphic novel Troubleshooters, Incorporated: Night Stalkings; and the pirate-adventure digital comic The Chronicles of the Sea Dragon Special.
Be sure to stop by Rich’s table in the Dealers’ Room and pick up any titles you might have missed, and to learn about the other projects he has in the works for 2025—including a very pulpy, two-fisted novella collection he has coming up that stars a trio of Golden Age heroines!
PulpFest runs August 7–10. For more information on the show, visit the PulpFest website.
