Re: Woot! Hero Wins Origins Award For ASTOUNDING HERO TALES AHT could not have been considered for the award without Hero publishing it, Steve. I am really pleased about the award for all of us. This was very much a team effort. Cheers, Jim

Re: Astounding Hero Tales table of contents Amazon lists it as in stock. I'll ask Hero to check into why they would say it's unavailable. The book is in print and should be easy to get. You might also try the book search engine http://www.bookfinder.com, which lists both new and used books. Cheers, Jim Lowder

Re: Astounding Arrival! Glad you enjoyed it! Everyone worked really hard on the book, so it's great to hear the work paid off. Cheers, James Lowder

Re: Astounding Hero Tales table of contents The book is wending its way through the printing and distribution process, so delay is quite unlikely. We expect Astounding Hero Tales to be available the first week of April. Cheers, Jim

Hi: As you Pulp Hero fans have likely heard, Astounding Hero Tales--Hero's first fiction project--is wending through the printing and distribution channels, and should be available in early April. All the stories in the book are originals, including never-before-published works by Lester (creator of Doc Savage) Dent and pulp legend Hugh B. Cave. The book is available for pre-order at Amazon and from local hobby shops. Here are the details: ASTOUNDING HERO TALES Edited by James Lowder Hero Games 320 page trade paperback; $16.99 ISBN: 978-1-58366-060-7 Hugh B. Cave -- Foreword Lester Dent -- “Death was Silent” Will Murray -- “The Mask of Kukulcan” Steve Melisi -- “Two-Fisted Crookback” William Messner-Loebs -- “Wolf Train West” Steve Eller -- “Godmother” Richard Dansky -- “Missing Pages” John Helfers -- “Running Thunder” Patricia Lee Macomber -- “Playback” Darrell Schweitzer -- “A Lost City of the Jungle” Ed Greenwood -- “It Came From the Swamp” David Niall Wilson -- “Slide Home” John Pelan -- “Out West” Thomas M. Reid -- “Bandit Gold” Robert Weinberg -- “Kiss Me Deadly” Robin D. Laws -- “The Forgotten Man” Hugh B.

And having read the contents again recently, I think the work and the wait have been worth it. I hope you'll agree. Cheers, James Lowder
