But What Are They Eating? #HotSinatra Edition

Leave a comment

I did a little guest post over on Shelley Workinger’s But What Are They Eating? blog (www.bookfare.blogspot.com)

It’s basically a rambling monologue from Mossimo Cole’s neighbour (Ooops. They live in L.A… Neighbor) all about Mossy’s favorite type of caffeinated beverage – which just so happens to be my own current brew of choice – the indomitable Flat White.

Go check that stuff out! And be sure to follow the blog. Also be sure to check out Shelley’s books in the SOLID series.

If you somehow stumbled onto this site and have absolutely no idea what the hell I’m rambling about, Mossimo Cole is the main schlub in my darkly funny (and Arthur Ellis Award-nominated) detective novel HOT SINATRA, which “reinvigorates the hardboiled genre” and is “filled with music and love and coffee and music and adventure and music and pain and hookers and drugs and I think there was a bit in there about a Frank Sinatra record…” It’s available all over hell’s half-acre, including Audible  audiobook! GET ON THE GOOD FOOT!

HOT SINATRA #80 on the NOIR list!

Leave a comment

HELLS YEAH!

Hot on the heels of the #1 placement of LET IT SNOW…

My beautiful, boozy, battle-scarred baby, HOT SINATRA is ranking #80 in the PAID Kindle list for NOIR!!!!

If you haven’t picked it up yet, now is the perfect time. $3 on Kindle for a rip-roaring, rollicking badass tale of shamus-on-the-rocks, damsel-in-distress and punk-rockin’ precociousness all wrapped up in a Chandleresque bowtie.

“Scratches the same itch as Raymond Chandler.”
“A Sam Spade novel mixed with a Rat Pack movie.”
“If you dig the quirky characters and wild action of Elmore Leonard, pick up Hot Sinatra!”

Also, Now Dig This…

The Audiobook version will debut September 23, 2013!
