Hi ,

It's February... and although we don't have any new releases out, we do have some exciting news and a new novel available for preorder.

A WHOLE LOT OF MESSMANN

Great news! We have signed an agreement with the Jon Messmann estate and will be republishing his classic The Revenger and The Handyman series, as well as many of his other titles. The books were far better and more nuanced than the original, 1970s "sleazy" pulp covers and descriptions made them seem (which, as you may recall, was also the case with the thirteen Hardman titles we republished). Our new editions will feature terrific introductions about the prolific author and his work.

DESERT GETAWAY NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER

Michael Craft's light-hearted mystery Desert Getaway isn't out until May but already it's getting tons of praise. Here's just a sampling...

"A wild romp through Palm Springs’ glittery underbelly. Fast, funny, and thoroughly enjoyable. An instant classic.” —Tod Goldberg, New York Times bestselling author of The Low Desert

"Michael Craft delivers an irresistible high camp twist to the classic detective mystery. A fast-paced and captivating opening to a promising new series." —J.D. Horn, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Line

"A quick-witted, entertaining mystery loaded with Palm Springs atmosphere. Smart, sophisticated, and ingeniously plotted. I loved it." —Ellen Byron, USA Today bestselling author of the Cajun Country Mysteries

"One can practically see John Waters in the background clapping with glee." —Los Angeles Times

NEBRASKA IS HERE

There's a great article at Pigeon 605 about us, our co-founder Lee Goldberg, author William J. Reynolds & our re-release of Reynolds' terrific NEBRASKA PI novels. Here's an excerpt:
“From the beginning, I wanted Nebraska to be sort of this average guy,” Reynolds said. “He’s not 6-foot-6 and 250 pounds of square-jawed raw muscle; he’s average. In fact, there’s instances in which he deliberately uses his averageness to kind of blend in. He’s self-aware, and sometimes he screws up. He blunders into things he shouldn’t blunder into.”

Until next time, stay safe, stay healthy and stay brash.
