Coming This Summer

Just a brief note to let you know what's happening at Pharaoh: Conley McAnally has finished a new book, Pantano Wash, which should be released mid-summer. In the meantime we are continuing our old-school pulp series with Moonfleet, a tale of English smugglers by J. Meade Falkner, originally published in 1898. Work also continues on a complete reformatting, with footnotes, of Talbot Mundy's "Tros of Samothrace" novels - we plan to include every single novel in a mammoth 1,000 page omnibus edition. Finally, we've started formatting text for Edmund Ironsides, an Elizabethan play that may or may not have been (but probably wasn't) written by a young Shakespeare. And as if that wasn't enough to keep a hobby publisher busy, the Nerd Glows On imprint is deep into work on the second edition of the Manifesto roleplaying game.

All in all, it should be a productive summer! Check back for details as time marches on.
