Excerpt:
In 2011, e-books were taking off and electronic self-publishing was becoming a viable alternative. Like many other writers, I took note and decided to dip my feet into the self-publishing pool, starting with three previously published stories to which I’d gotten the rights back. And this is how Pegasus Pulp Publishing was born.
So why did I decide to call my one-woman publishing company Pegasus Pulp Publishing? Well, there is a Pegasus on the Buhlert family crest. Furthermore, the Pegasus is associated with the muses in Greek mythology, so it seemed like an obvious choice.
A quick Google later, it turned out that there were already several companies, including some publishing companies, named Pegasus something or other. Therefore, I eventually named my imprint Pegasus Pulp Publishing, because I have long been a big fan of the pulp era with its huge variety of genres and stories and wanted to evoke that good old pulp spirit with my new publishing venture.
Over the past nine years, Pegasus Pulp has published more than 130 stories, novellas, novels and collections in multiple genres and two languages. Pegasus Pulp Publishing is still very much a one-woman operation, though I publish two authors now: Cora Buhlert, i.e. me and Richard Blakemore, a pulp writer of the 1930s, who is also me.
This collection is intended as a sampler to show you the broad spectrum of what Pegasus Pulp has on offer. Within, you will find several series starters to wet your appetite, so to say.
