The strikes keep comin’ today for the ol’ Duder.

Guess who has a, ummm, colorful, uhhh essay about Lebowski and Detective Fiction in this here book of Dudeist Scholars and Intellectual compeers? THIS DUDE. That’s right. Break out the Caucasians, Jackie. It’s a goddamn celebration!

Got some ISBN numbers from my publisher, in case you’re into that kind of thing, and HOT SINATRA is now loaded up on Goodreads,  so you can add it to your To-Read list, or keep an eye out for it showing up on the Amazon for pre-order sometime soon. Also, keep your eyes open for the debut of LET IT SNOW: SEASONS READINGS FOR A SUPER COOL YULE which features A Manlove & Kickerdick X-Mess Special. Just in case you can’t wait til January.

Coming January 15, 2013. Moss Cole is a private detective, the kind you thought only existed in old movies and afternoon reruns. He’s smart, talented, sometimes even charming. You’d think he could find a better gig than carrying on his grandfather’s legacy as a ‘Private Dick.’ Cole is out of money, out of ideas, and out of his league. That’s why he’s stuck looking for a stolen Sinatra record… a record that may be just a figment of an old man’s imagination. Of course, if that were true, Moss wouldn’t have so many people busting down his door.
A vivacious redhead, a foul-mouthed Irish rock star, and a whip-smart little girl only complicate the job, when all Cole wants is a good cup of coffee and some Hot Sinatra.

If only he can stay alive—and in one piece—long enough to find it.

Advance Praise for “Hot Sinatra”

“Moss Cole sizzles hotter than bacon.” – Red Tash, Author of Troll, Or Derby and This Brilliant Darkness
