Arthur Phillips Howard

In case you couldn't tell by my recently created bio, I've been on a real short story "classics" reading binge lately.  And by classics I mean those serialized pulpy shorts by Robert E. Howard (Conan), H.P. Lovecraft (Cthulhu) and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes).  Oh, and a little Edgar Allen Poe for good measure.  Great stuff!

I  have been thinking these type of serialized short stories that can stand alone but feature reoccurring characters would be the perfect type of thing for the Ebook/Kindle/Nook market that has emerged.  I have a few different characters I will be developing and fleshing out to be featured in such a series of shorts.  Over the month of July I will be putting together some pitches for each character and posting them here for everyone to preview.

Oh, and hope you all have a happy fourth!
