New Publications...Check 'em out!


The Latest DPP Publications - Now available at the DPPstore

Racing History 2: Quixotic by C.A. Scott

Racing History is an ambitious, five-volume sci-fi series that proudly flaunts its appreciation for pop culture: music, film, comics, television, videogames, and yes literature of all kinds. Author C.A. Scott gave us Volume 1: Meteoric, Episodes 1-7 last spring and now the DPPstore is carrying Volume 2: Quixotic, Episodes 8-14.

What if you could remake yourself over from scratch? Who would you be? Where would you go? Who would you choose as friends, and who would become your enemies? What would you want most out of life, and what would you do to get it?
Diego Lee grew up on Virtuality and role-playing games. Becoming someone else is second nature to him. So when it’s necessary to do so, the man he invents is “Race Allen,” a quixotic adventurer with little regard for the law. He is a romantic science fiction cliché, the very bread and butter of space opera. His way of life is also completely unrealistic and, in the Stellar Union, utterly impossible to sustain. That’s not to say Diego can’t make a go of it: evading shuttlecops and bounty hunters alike, dodging between criminal organizations, and shooting without asking any questions at all.


First to Last (The Tale of a Biker) by Dennis W. Lid

First to Last is the true story of a soldier's life through the motorcycles he has owned and the most prominent action events that have occurred on those bikes and during his lifetime. The manuscript has an international tone with a heavy accent on Asia, is action oriented during peace and war, and spans the generations in its common appeal to motorcyclists, hobbyists, adventurers and romanticists of all ages. It is a factual, first-hand account of the tale of a biker, a warrior and an incurable romantic. The book includes maps and photographs with captions that follow portions of the story line. Its theme combines historical nostalgia with adventure romance to yield an avant-garde, neo-classic novella of the two-wheeled conveyance -- the motorcycle. The weave of motorcycle, man and events is nothing less than a lifelong search for the Holy Grail that culminates in answering the question of where one's treasure lies.

This is Dennis Lid's first book. In December it will be available in print from Capri Publishing.

Whatever. by Matt Lehman


One man's journey to find God, the perfect woman, and himself set in the most unlikely of places, a cruise ship. A ship where sex and alcohol are kings and love is barely an afterthought.

Whatever. is Matt Lehman's first publication under DPP's PulpBytes Imprint. His book Clam Chowder, published by Velcro Crayons Publishing, is also available at the DPPstore.
