This is a great site to visit for three reasons; You can find all the Fightcard titles in one place, get information on the contributing authors, and it is a dynamically simple site. The graphics hit with an economy of power, like a boxer setting up for a knockout punch, and the set up is simple and easy to navigate, with the knockout coming after you purchase one of the stories.
The Fightcard books, is a series was created by Paul Bishop and Mel Odom under the unifying ‘open’ pseudonym Jack Tunney, which is used by each of the contributing authors. And there are a lot of contributing authors, twelve so far.
Each Fight Card story is set in the1950s, and occurs throughout the world. Boxing is at the heart of the story and usually ends with a big fight. The stakes are always high for the characters, and it's the characters of these stories that make them fun, enjoyable and exciting to read. The unifying theme is that the main character has a connection to St. Vincent's Asylum For Boys in Chicago (an orphanage) and Father Tim, the fighting priest, who teaches the 'sweet science' as a way to become a man.
The boxing pulp noir of the 1930's has been resurrected in the Fightcard series. Check out the site buy a title and you'll be hooked.
Future posts I will talk more about the individual titles and what is going on in the Fightcard series. But as a teaser, come October I'll have my own episode in the Fightcard series for sale.
