5 cools things - No Guys Allowed Edition

With the podcast doing a serialized version of Bodie Myer’s Bad Ass Bitch Extraordinaire and International Women's day we’re taking a look at five of our favorite bad ass women in fiction in our sporadic 5 cool things column. Selena - Yeah we’ve brought her up before*, and will continue to do so. Selena is the crazy ex-girlfriend we know we need to avoid but can’t help going back to. Greg Barth’s Selena series moves fast, hits hard, and is impossible to put down. Through five books the former stripper battled her way through the underworld  kicking ass and taking names like no other all because she stole the wrong CD while turning a trick. Loyal to her friends, ruthless to her enemies, and prone to really bad decisions she’s about as flawed protagonist as there is, but it is impossible not to have her back as she battles the mob, corrupt cops, various evil backwoods rednecks, outlaw bikers, and her own bad habits. Lara Croft - Are video games fiction? Well, they sure ...

Season 3 of the Podcast is Finally Here

Image
Damn, it has taken long enough,  but season 3 of the  10th Rule Books old School Radio Serial Podcast  is here. Will it be worth the wait? Hell fucking yes. This season we've added some Flash Fiction to the mix featuring some of our favorite writers, including Beau Johnson, Christopher Davis, Aidan Thorn, Paul Brazil, Bill Baber, Todd Morr and more. For episode 1 we have Beau Johnson's tale of revenge Front Then Center. For the old school radio serial part of the podcast we've got  Bad Ass Bitch Extraordinaire - Hell Book 2 For those wondering about Hell Book - 1  you can read it to catch up or not, as  B.A,B,E  works just fine as a standalone story. So go get yourself 20 minutes of free pulp fiction that skips the boring parts and tell a friend to do the same.

Yep, You're still wrong - These are the best books of 2017

It’s that time when reputable people put out their best of the year lists, so since we are one of those two things here are best five books we read last year which were also released last year. Since we are a small independent publisher cranking out pulp fiction that skips the boring parts we have selected our five from other independents, so no matter how good the last Jack Reacher novel may have been it won’t make the list*. Also while we like to think our stuff is totally bad ass we did not select any of our own books or authors because that just seems like a dick move*. Everglade (Selena Book 5) - Greg Barth - We’ve mentioned the Selena series here before and will probably mention it again. Maybe the most bad ass female character in pulp fiction. Ever. In fact, if we were giving out awards for that (we’re not) she would win. With the first four books of this series being uniformly awesome this could have been a letdown but it kicks just as much ass as its predecess...

No, You're Wrong These are the best five (well six) Holiday Movies

It’s Christmas time and that means Holiday movies*. We at 10th Rule Books love Holiday movies. So to celebrate the season and having Bad Ass Bitch Extraordinaire come out in paperback (just in time for Christmas) we are busting out our five cool things column about our favorite Holiday movies. Except since it is Christmas and all our paperbacks are currently $6.66 (like this one or this one , or this one and this one too) we are giving you six cool things. Enjoy. 1 - Bad Santa - “I beat the shit out of some kids today. But it was for a purpose. It made me feel good about myself…” The closest thing we’ve got to Richard Stark Presents a Very Parker Christmas.  Sure, Willie (Billy Bob Thornton) and his altitude challenged partner in crime (Tony Cox) are the guys Parker would have to kill when they screwed up the job if this was a Parker story and he wouldn’t get all sappy about a really dumb kid (Brett Kelly) and a woman with a Santa fetish (Lauren Graham), but...

"Yo, bitch Cyber Monday and shit."

Cyber Monday is here. Or as the great Jessie Pinkman would say "Yo, bitch Cyber Monday and shit."* Actually, it's just about over but after spending the holiday in New Orleans cruising Frenchmen Street we are moving kind of slow this week. So slow we will probably run these Cyber Monday deals all week, but maybe not so don't wait. Everything from the entire dysfunctional collection of crazy Uncles that make up the 10th Rule family is on sale. Our humble suggestion? Buy them all.                                                                                       Bad Ass Bitch Extraordinaire - Hell Book 2 - 1.99 The Walking Funeral - Hell Book 1 - 1.50 Paperback - 6.66 Best Laid Plans of Idiots and Fuck-Ups - Cooke 2 - .99 Paperback - 7.99...

Free Sample Friday - B.A.B.E.

A bit from Bodie Myers latest Bad Ass Bitch Extraordinaire - Hell Book 2 *** We grabbed the bag out of the back and went to the door. Dex met us at the doorway before we knocked. Before we could say anything, we heard Stringer yelling “Run,” from inside the house, followed by a gunshot. Dex took Stringer’s advice and bounded past us into the yard. Tommy went into the house and I followed. We both heard him say run, but neither of us wanted to leave Stringer behind if he was in trouble. We came in just in time to see an older dude dressed in wife beater t-shirt and black jeans finish a fallen Stringer with a bullet from the biggest handgun I had ever seen to Stringer’s face. We were standing there frozen. The whole scene was just to bizarre for us to comprehend when the man turned and swung the gun our way, “You have my guns in that bag?” Neither of us said anything. For the first time we noticed another man, shorter and stouter than the man who executed Stringer, ...
