Celebrating 20 years of Bobby Nash's Evil Ways!

 

I realized yesterday that August of this year will mark 20 years since my first novel, Evil Ways - A Harold Palmer Thriller, was originally published. WOW. I may have to do something special to celebrate. Hmmm... Time to put my thinking cap on.

You can check out Evil Ways HERE!

Some days it feels like I just wrote this yesterday. Others, it feels longer than 20 years. Go figure, huh?

THE SNOW INTERVIEWS: MEET MICHAEL GORDON!

 

I am fortunate to work with some amazing people on the Snow books and I wanted to give readers a chance to get to know the talent behind the scenes.

Michael Gordon is the editor of more recent books in the Snow series. In addition to editing, Mike is also a writer (Tiki Zombie, Walking The Wider Web, Galloping Across The Cosmos), a publisher at New Legend Productions (Dragon Tales, Tiki Zombie), and podcaster (Earth Station One, Earth Station Who, Bat-Chums, ESO's Dragon Con Report, and more).

And now, meet Michael Gordon.

Bobby

1. Tell us a bit about yourself and your background. How did you get into writing and editing?

For as long as I can remember, I've always enjoyed stories and storytelling. Thanks to my parents, I began reading from an early age and it wasn't long before I started creating my own stories. English was my favorite subject in elementary and high school, and my major in college was narrative studies. Outside of school, I was writing short stories, scripts, and movie reviews. In 2007, my first book was published, "The Untold Origins of Invisible Scarlet O'Neil" by Atlantis Studios and I'm proud to have participated in many other projects since then as a writer and/or editor, including many by my own company, New Legend Productions.

2. Who is Abraham Snow?

Abraham is the main character of the Snow series by Bobby Nash and a throwback to the action-oriented private detectives such as Jim Rockford, Thomas Magnum, and David Spenser. He might not have genius-level deductive abilities, but he is a blue collar hard worker with a bit of charm and never hesitates to push himself to the limit despite having a heart condition that makes even some of the most basic tasks life threatening.

3. What draws you to the various characters in the Snow series?

Bobby Nash has surrounded Abraham with a top-notch cast of characters that not only have his back, but also keep him grounded. Whether they are actual blood relations or found family friends and colleagues, each one is strong enough in character to easily be featured in his or her own solo adventure.

4. Why should people be reading or listening to the Snow books?

Bobby Nash's Snow books are well-crafted action thrill rides featuring compelling characters and I'm very proud to contribute any way I can. If you're a fan of retro tv shows such as The Rockford Files, Magnum P.I. and Spencer for Hire or recent series like Burn Notice and Bosch, you'll find a familiar vibe with this series. So however you enjoy your books, turning pages or turning up the volume, pick up one of Abraham's adventures and let it Snow!

5. Where can people learn more about you and your work?

You can check out my various projects and links to my various social media platform accounts via newlegendmike.com.

Thank you, Mike.

A look at 2024 in words and books!

 

I was asked elsewhere so I crunched some numbers.

In 2024, I had 22 projects released into the world. 18 in wide release. 2 on-line only (until 2025), and 2 short films. See the attached graphic. This includes comics, novels, short stories, essays, and film scripts.

In 2024, I attended 31 events. Conventions, conferences, libraries, bookstore, comic shops and festivals. I admit, this number caught me off guard. I didn't realize it had been so many.

In 2024, I wrote a little over 300,000 words of fiction. That doesn't count essays, blogs, backmatter in books, interviews, press releases, etc. There's still 5 days left in the year so, conservatively, you can probably add about 10,000 more before January 1 rolls around.

Whew. No wonder I'm tired.
And there's still a week to go.

FYI: Snow fans, Snow Island begins serializing in January. Stay tuned.

As always, I appreciate you going on this journey with me.

Happy New Year!

Bobby

OH, THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS FRIGHTFUL...

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone!
May your evening be joyful and bright.

Peace and love.

THE SNOW INTERVIEWS: MEET JEFFREY HAYES!

 

I am fortunate to work with some amazing people on the Snow books and I wanted to give readers a chance to get to know the talent behind the scenes.

Jeffrey Hayes is the uber-talented illustrator behind Plasmafire Graphics. Not only does her provide covers for the Snow series, but also the Sheriff Tom Myers series, both for BEN Books, but he also handles cover duties for my Dante series from Valhalla Books. Jeffrey has given the Snow characters their distinctive looks and some fantastic cover art.

And now, meet Jeffrey Hayes.

Bobby

1. Tell us a bit about yourself and your background. How did you get into illustration and design?

I was ten years old in 1970, so to say I grew up in the 70s would be precise. I love the long-gone print media of that era. From movie posters, comics, magazines, and TV Guide, I loved the art and illustrations and would cut out my favorite pieces and keep them in a scrapbook to reference and attempt to emulate. This was also the era when table-top gaming was growing, so I got a job with a couple of Austin, Texas game publishers doing illustrations for games and related trade magazines. I then worked for a regional grocery company doing display and sign work until I changed careers, all the while maintaining my interest in illustration. In the 2000s, I began doing promotional posters for indie filmmakers and audio-drama production groups, which ultimately led to indie publishing and book covers and the creation of Plasmafire Graphics.

2. Who is Abraham Snow?

As I said, I grew up in the 70s and watched some of the best cop shows on television. I had a steady diet of, “Adam-12,” “Rockford Files,” “Beretta,” “Hawaii 5-0,” “Starsky and Hutch” and the like, all while watching reruns of shows like “Dragnet,” “Manix,” and “F.B.I.” This didn’t stop in the 80s, when shows like, “Magnum P.I.,” “Hill Street Blues,” “T.J. Hooker,” “Miami Vice,” and more were there to absorb. With that, my answer is simple, Abraham Snow is an amalgam of the very best leading

characters of those classic police action shows I grew up watching.

3. What draws you to the various characters in the Snow series?

When I read the Snow series, I see bits and pieces of the characters from the classic TV series I love. They are written with identifiable and reliable traits and behaviors that make them as interesting and the series lead. Then somewhere along the line, something remarkable happens. The Snow characters take on a life of their own and become fully fleshed-out and unique characters I can see in my mind’s eye. The Snow universe of good guys, bad guys, and questionable characters all resonate with me which makes them easy to illustrate.

4. Why should people be reading or listening to the Snow books?

The Snow stories are fast-paced and action-packed like any great and memorable classic cop show. If you like a mystery, a few car chases and gun fights, and all the other fun associated with those 1-hour cop shows of the 70s and 80s, then you should be reading these books. Each book is like a television episode, containing all the best elements from those classic TV shows.

5. Where can people learn more about you and your work?

You can learn more about my illustration world at www.plasmafiregraphics.com, www.facebook.com/plasmafiregraphics, or www.instagram.com/plasmafiregraphics

Thanks again, Jeffrey!
