BOBBY NASH DISHES DIRT ON DOMINO LADY AND MORE ON ART’S REVIEWS PODCAST!

Cover: Douglas Klauba

The Ruby Files own Bobby Nash was a guest on Art Sippo’s new Art’s Reviews podcast this week. Art and Bobby had great fun talking about the newly released Domino Lady “Money Shot” novel as well as a few of the writer's other projects, including the upcoming The Ruby Files Vol. 2. "It’s always great chatting and catching up with Art," said Bobby of the interview. "I hope you’ll give the podcast a listen." You can find it here.

From the site:
Award winning author Bobby Nash presents the first full length novel starring the infamous pulp seductress and adventuress, the Domino Lady.  We talk about his relationship with this character in various New Pulp projects and about other projects in the works!

Vol. 1 art: Rob Moran

With the second volume of stories featuring pulpy p.i. Rick Ruby on the way, Bobby Nash worked up a new banner ad this morning to promote The Ruby Files Vol. 1, which is still on sale.

The Case of The Wayward Brother by Bobby Nash
A beautiful, mysterious blonde wants her brother found. It's a deadly set up, and down on his luck private eye, Rick Ruby walks into a dangerous case of cold-blooded murder.

On the surface, the case seemed simple enough. All Rick Ruby had to do was track down the runaway brother of the sexy socialite from California then collect his fee. Of course, in Rick Ruby’s world, even the simplest case is never that simple.

Learn more about Rick Ruby and The Ruby Files at Airship 27 Productions, the official Rick Ruby website, and at Bobby's website.

Vol. 2 art: Nik Poliwko

It was the 1930s and America was locked in the grip of the Great Depression. Gangsters controlled the major cities while outlaws roamed the rural back country. It was a time of Speak Easy gin-joints, Tommy-guns, fast cars and even faster dames. This is the world of New York based Private Investigator Rick Ruby, a world he is all too familiar with. From the back alleys of Gotham to the gold laden boulevards of Hollywood, Ruby is the shamus with a nose for trouble and an insatiable appetite for justice. So if you’ve got a taste for hot lead and knuckle sandwiches, tug your cuffs, adjust your fedora and light up a Lucky, a brand new pulp detective is coming your way.

Created by pulp masters, Bobby Nash & Sean Taylor, Rick Ruby echoes the tales of Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe while offering up his own brand of

two-fisted action. Joined by fellow pulp smiths Andrew Salmon & William Patrick Maynard, these modern scribes of purple prose present a quartet of tales to delight any true lover of private eye fiction. This instant classic features a gorgeous Mark Wheatley cover and eight evocative black and white illustrations by Rob Moran.

This is a book that harkens back to the classic black and white Warner Brothers gangster movies that featured James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart and Edward G. Robinson to name a few. The atmosphere is gritty with a no-nonsense hero pulp fans are going to applaud from the first story to the last. And when that last tale comes to a close, you can bet we haven’t seen the last of Rick Ruby, Private Eye.

Bobby and Y.I. Washington in 2012

The Ruby Files author and co-creator Bobby Nash penned a guest post for author Y.I. Washington's blog. Read The Birth of Plotty Pants by Bobby Nash where he coins the term "Plotty Pants", which we suspect will come back to haunt him eventually.  :)
