Yep. The audiobook version of Hot Sinatra is now in (pre)production with Evolved Publishing. Voice actors have been cast (McKinley Neal Shaw and Sarah Skye Randall) and I have vetted the tapes myself.
I’m pretty stoked about this development which, along with my appearances at When Words Collide and a planned promotional blitz in August, will hopefully lead to a little more love for ol’ Mossimo Cole.
For now, pick it up and read it yoself. You will thank me later.
Hot Sinatra by Axel Howerton is getting some rave reviews, as well it should. It features a lead character in Moss Cole that is someone we can both root for and worry about. Surrounding Moss is a unique and often hilarious, rag-tag group of characters who help bring this quirky, noir detective story to life. Whether you’re a fan of the old Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett novels, or the slightly newer Mickey Spillane or Robert B. Parker novels, you’re sure to love Hot Sinatra.
Check it out and be sure to also give a look to Emlyn Chand’s excellent Bird Brain series for kids, this week featuring Poppy The Proud
Number One Son is seven and brilliant and he LOVES the Bird Brain books.
