21st Century Pulps

About 21st Century Pulps:

Just like “The Pulps” captured readers from the 1920s through the 1940s with Detective, Science Fiction, Western, Supernatural, War, Sports, Romance and Fantasy, the “21st Century Pulps” aims to capture the 21st Century reader. From Indie Authors all over the world, comes tales of global literature depicting life and experiences from the modern Information Age.

The journeys of self-published authors are unique. There is no guaranteed key to success to write the perfect novel as a self-published author. All the authors who have written for the 21st Century Pulps have written about different topics, and all of them have found success in one way or another. Some of the authors wrote about their jobs or their war experiences, giving their writing a sense of depth and expertise. Sci-fi and fantasy allows some authors to let their imaginations run wild as they create alternate worlds and mythical beings. Most of the self-published authors write to get lost in creating new characters and blending their life experiences into the authors own.

Whatever the inspirational reason is for writers to write, we hope that you will find emotional pleasure and entertainment value from reading 21st Century Pulps.

Meeting Laura – A novel loosely and partially inspired by the life of… by Anna "Annina" Lorenzi

Meeting Laura – A novel loosely and partially inspired by the life of… by Anna "Annina" Lorenzi

“…dedicated to those minds wanting to think, to those hearts wanting to beat, to the brave and the crazy.”

A young writer, a challenge that he can’t not accept and his “crazy” idea to follow that dream with his whole being. In his pocket, a plane ticket for New York, a few bucks, a little bit of fear, and a lot of determination.

A manuscript that he hugs to himself, “as if it were the most important thing on the face of the earth,” a book already written, ready to be consigned to the world, but with a surprise ending that draws the reader in.

A trip with an uncertain outcome, most assuredly unexpected, in order to meet his muse, and to give her his opus, sensations, words, and emotions for a better tomorrow.

An unusual trip, apparently simple, but always intriguing in its “becoming,” narrated among thoughts, memories, emotions, and clear images depicting her, Laura, really that same Laura that the whole world knows and acclaims…

The Cause of Darkness– A Story of the Civil War by John Bebout

About Featured Book: The Cause of Darkness– A Story of the Civil War by John Bebout

THE CAUSE OF DARKNESS blends history with fiction and encompasses a tragic time during the Civil War that residents of the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia still call to this day ‘the burning.’ It tells the story of a 16 year-old boy named Teddy Miller who comes of age during this brutal time. Teddy’s single-minded quest to save his father from execution as a spy reads like a grand adventure, full of gun fights, horse chases and 19th century justice. There is even a beautiful Pinkerton detective who plays a major role in Teddy’s exploits. But nearly all the adult characters act solely in their own self-interest and few have Teddy’s welfare at heart. Teddy takes actions to save his father which have consequences that he cannot fully comprehend; and it is the consequences of these actions that drive the novel to its conclusion.
