Two-Gun Phoenix Publishing, a company formed by a group of publishers, editors, writers, and fans, announces its existence with four books available now for purchase via Amazon and soon via other venues.
MACAVITY by Barry Reese
Macavity. A name whispered around the world - feared by police and criminals alike. When the underworld mobs of New York go to war over a mysterious object the elusive rogue possesses guaranteed to help the victor claim ultimate power, an unlikely duo unites to bring Macavity to justice: a British inspector and a gorgeous moll. With betrayals, lies, and deaths accumulating, Macavity threads the needle between success and defeat... with a shocking secret that no one can predict!
Known for his mind blowing and prolific New Pulp work with characters like The Peregrine and Lazarus Gray, award winning author Barry Reese takes on a genre unlike any he’s tackled before. Equal parts noir, crime, and adventure, MACAVITY has everything a good mob war story…and heist tale…and hard boiled actioner needs!

A COWBOY IN CARPATHIA: A BOB HOWARD ADVENTURE (AUTHOR’S EXPANDED EDITION) by Teel James Glenn
In 1936, Robert Ervin Howard, the creator of Conan The Cimmerian and countless other legendary characters, took his own life after the death of his beloved mother.
But…what if he didn’t?
Teel James Glenn’s A COWBOY IN CARPATHIA: A BOB HOWARD ADVENTURE won the 2021 Pulp Factory Best Novel Award and kicked off a series of alternate history adventures for one of the most beloved Pulp authors of all time. In this new Author’s Expanded Edition, Glenn takes Howard beyond his own history. First, Bob finds himself under the Big Top in New York City taking on corruption and betrayal the only way he knows how; two-fisted. Then, crossing the ocean, he finds depravity of a whole other sort in England, which carries him to far off Carpathia. To save a woman dear to him, Bob sets out to take on a legendary immortal evil boot to boot- the undead beast incarnate known as Dracula.

OFF THE DUSTY BOOKCASE by Aubrey G. Stephens
Stories of wonder and adventure once filled bookshelves instead of phones and e-readers. Books you held in your hand that, in the right place, acted as portals to worlds and lives you could live over and over. All you needed was a little money to buy a passport to wherever or a library card to borrow passage for a while.
But some of those journeys, many of those far-off places and the people who created them have been forgotten to time. While we still watch movies based on some of them or read tales most definitely inspired by them, works from authors that maybe were even well household names have been lost in the past.
But not for Aubrey G. Stephens.
OFF THE DUSTY BOOKCASE is a collection of reviews and reminisces written by Stephens, a teacher, writer, and fan of reading since his early trips to a Mississippi library. Beginning in that very building, OFF THE DUSTY BOOKCASE from Two-Gun Phoenix Publishing introduces readers of all ages to forgotten works of genre fiction while also touching on cinema, history, and more. This collection of essays is more than just a reminder of authors and their works. It's the love and passion of one man for the written word and all that it means to everyone.

TALES OF THE SAILOR MAN by Jim Beard, Aubrey Stephens, and Brian K. Morris
Ahoy! The world’s most popular sailor springs to new action inspired life in TALES OF THE SAILOR MAN!
Created by E. C. Segar as a part of his ‘Thimble Theatre’ comic strip, Popeye sailed into newspapers in 1929 and his voyages have continued across every known medium! With arms like tree trunks, a squint that makes pirates quake and quiver, and a unique take on what passes for the English language, Segar’s one time supporting character quickly planted his flag as the lead for not only the comic strip, but also a whole host of cartoons, comics, and more.
Join Jim Beard, Aubrey Stephens, and Brian K. Morris as they take the two-fisted mariner both back to his roots and into a new style, even for him. Three tales that draw from Popeye’s earliest days in ‘Thimble Theatre’ with their eyes squarely set in the direction of high-octane adventure!
So, enjoy a generous helping of Oyl, not Olive, and rub the Whiffle Hen for luck as you set sail with the roughest, toughest swab ever to walk a deck!
