"It gives for a good creepy feeling as you're turning the pages to this novel. And you will be turning the pages... really damn hard to put down." - Dr. Pus from the Library of the Living Dead
"Oasis is good ol' fashioned pulp fiction, complete with punchy style, taut action and fights for survival." - J. Dane Tyler
"Oasis is a wicked thrill ride that keeps readers on their toes. Excellent read." - Donna C. "Peligrie"
"Oasis ... is easily one of the most invigorating thrill rides in its genre." - Cal A.
My name is Bryce Beattie, and I'm addicted to pulp-styled fiction. When I was a kid, some careless adult left a tape with several episodes of "The Shadow" lying around. After I listened to that, I was hooked. Pretty soon, audio just wasn't enough and I moved on to to the paperback stuff. At first it was just hardboiled detective fiction, but then I started reading old Conan stories and yarns about John Carter of Mars. Now I'm pretty hopeless. In fact, I'm so deep into pulp fiction that I write my own.
Besides the whole pulp story writing bit, I work as a programmer. I have a fantastic wife and two cute-as-can-be daughters. I read lots and lots of fiction. I listen to jazz, classical, and whatever else strikes my fancy. Now you know everything.
