FIGHT CARD UPDATE NOVEMBER 2014
I am delighted with the strength of the final two
Fight Card titles for 2014. As we wrap-up three years of monthly
novelettes with 40 published titles (including two Fight Card charity
anthologies), the stories in the series are as vibrant and hard-hitting as when
we started.
First up in November is The Iron Fists of Ned
Kelly, the third Fight Card novel from the battered typewriter of
our man from the land down under, David Foster (King of the Outback, Rumble
in the Jungle). This is a piece of historical fiction – featuring
Australia’s infamous outlaw, Ned Kelly – which David was destined to write. A
rip-snorting true tale of a man done wrong who has a chance to even the score the
best way he know how – with his fists.
The Iron Fists of Ned Kelly also
features a knockout cover from illustrator Mike Fyles, who has also turned in
another dynamite cover for our second Fight Card Sherlock Holmes outing
from Andrew Salmon, Bad to the Bone, which will be our December Fight
Card title.
FIGHT CARD: THE IRON FISTS OF NED KELLY
"I wish to acquaint you with some
occurrences of the present past and future." Edward Kelly – The Jerilderie
Letter 1879
The story of Australia's ironclad outlaw, Ned
Kelly, has been told countless times in film, book, and song. The shootout at
Stringybark Creek and the infamous siege at Glenrowan are events which shaped
the nation – but there is more to Ned’s story, including the character
defining, bareknuckle, scrap with feared bar-room brawler, Isaiah 'Wild'
Wright.
Ned was only sixteen when he rode into the
township of Greta on a horse loaned to him by Wright. Ned had no idea the horse
was stolen, but he was still arrested, beaten, and sentenced to three years hard
labor.
Ned can't get those years back, but he can make
the horse thief pay for his deception. With honour and justice at stake, two of
the hardest men of all time will come to scratch in a battle for the ages.
A story of betrayal, revenge, and ultimately
friendship, The Iron Fists of Ned Kelly is another
rollicking tale from the author of King of the Outback.
The Iron Fists of Ned Kelly will
be available on November 11th -- the 134 anniversary of the outlaw's hanging
...
Any mentions on your blogs or social network
sites are appreciated as always.
Along with his Fight Card entries, David is also
the author – under his James Hopwood pseudonym – of two novels (The Librio
Defection / The Danakil Deception) featuring swinging sixties neophyte British
agent Jarvis Love. Both are available from Amazon and are must reads for anyone
who enjoys their spy fiction with the cool vibe of the swinging sixties when
martinis were served shaken not stirred.
Special thx this month to Bobby Nash (Fight
Card: Barefoot Bones) for the many FaceBook banners he had provided for our
titles ...
Till next month …
Keep punching …
