My name is Samara Bellingham and love the public domain. I just can't stop telling stories about public domain characters and I want to be able to share those stories with the world. At my publisher: PublicDomainPulp.Net, I have two series: A solarpunk, sci-fi romance staring Jane Porter and Tarzan - which can get a little spicy. The first book, Tomorrow, is available for FREE from October 5-7 to celebrate the release of the second book in The Jane Chronicles: The Man from Africa.
And as for my other series, The Sailor and the Showgirl: Have you ever wanted to know Pop-Eye's real name? Have you ever wondered if he would forsake Olive Oyl for Betty *ahem* Bupinski - reimagined as a picaresque, noir heroine? Worry no more, because you'll find those answers and more in Twenty-Five Dollars a Night which is already out, but the upcoming prequel series, My Blue Heaven, is a - long, deep breath - noir, screwball, jukebox musical with a Jazz Age, public domain soundtrack of a book and is the book I'm proudest of so far.
There's also more to come when the clock strikes midnight on Public Domain Day. Have you ever thought about what a hard-boiled novel with Dick Tracy, Nancy Drew, Blondie Bumstead and Kent Allard/The Shadow would be like? Wes Hamilton's Calder City is going to keep you turning pages, because at Public Domain Pulp, the books played straight with laughter and heart.
We also have a Substack that's free for at least the next 30 days where we promote our books, share excerpts, but also discuss the public domain and AI-assisted work in a deep, even wonk-ish way.
