Hi Adrian. #12 would be Will Murray's Tarzan: Back to Mars. I'll provide you a link. Wild Adventures #13 is the first of my 6-volume Mars series I have under contract with ERB Inc, but I don't believe they plan to release all 6 consecutively in the Wild Adventures Series. The plan as far as I know is to release them in pairs, with the second coming this year 2024 in which case it might be #14. After that, I just am not sure.
Feel free to message me here on Goodreads, or email via my website (www.ChrisLAdamsBizarreTales.com) for further info. Also, I'm on Facebook as ChrisLAdams BizarreTales. If you're on there, feel free to send a friend request where you will be privy to info as soon as I know it and am allowed to share it.
By the way, in case you aren't aware, the Wild Adventures of ERB series consists of novels by various authors covering many of ERB's worlds, like Pellucidar, Mars, Venus, Poloda, with over half dedicated to Tarzan's Africa, etc. I'll post a link to the series as well.

Logically, I knew I hadn't heard the sound I heard on the basement stair. Yet as I made my way to bed I couldn't argue with the sight I glimpsed beneath the door - a shadow cast by the nightlight on that creaking stair.

I'm currently working on The Banshee of the Atacama - a sequel to The Blonde Goddess of Tikka-Tikka - and also writing an homage to Robert E. Howard in the form of a little Conan tale.

The favorite thing for me about writing is writing the type of literature I most admire. I write the kind of stories I like to read.

I'd travel to Barsoom - and ride a thoat across a dead-sea bottom :)

This may sound contradictory (given the question) but when I stall out this is exactly what helps me - I write a poem.
When I reach an impasse in a story and become frustrated I've found it helps to set it aside, think of a short plot along different lines (IE an unhappy elf enters a cave to discover a beautiful nymph frozen in ice - freeing her she leads him through a dimensional portal to another world where they frolic to this day).
Now write a poem about that elf and his cute little nymph friend.
By the time I finished doing that I will typically have figured out a path forward on the yarn I was struggling with because I never completely quit thinking about it. It'll pop in and out of my head. Let your mind roam where it it will when it does, hopping back to your poem frequently.
Try it! And as Gary Weston would say, happy writing, folks.
