Mr. Clean called, and he is pissed.
July 10, 2007 1:23 pmSteve Brewer - the man behind the wickedly funny Bubba Mabry mysteries, and future Hollywood bigwig - is poised to release his next standalone novel. Cutthroat is the tale of Solomon Gage, an imposing hitman who bears a striking resemblance to everyone’s favorite corporate soap spokesman.
We’re very happy with how the cover has turned out, and so is Steve.
Have a look at the dustjacket, in all its full-spread glory:
Dadgum Cussin’ Gets Mah Dander Up
June 21, 2007 9:55 pmExpletive Deleted - the family not-friendly collection of stories deconstructing the mother of all cursewords brought to you by editor Jen Jordan and the great minds at Bleak House Books - is officially off to the printers in ARC form, and we’re happy to give you, dear reader (sorry, googling ‘Paris Hilton, penis’ has never yielded more confusing results) a glimpse at our unbridled awesomeness.
So go ahead, click it.
Or are ya yella?
Y’aint yella, are ya?
Oh, and the book? It’s awesome. Killer stories abound, but anything featuring the work of Nathan Singer should be required reading for crusty, jaded folk with a penchant for speed metal and zombie flicks. Yes mid-America, I’m lookin’ at you. Most of the stories in here make me titillated, nervous, and/or nauseous, and that’s saying something, friend.

Maiden Rawks
June 13, 2007 5:09 pmWe put together three prototypes for the cover of Mary Logue’s newest entry in the Claire Watkins Mysteries - Maiden Rock. It’s the story of a gang of meth-addled biker grannies who overrun a small town in rural Wisconsin, and then learn a very special lesson. No wait… That’s was a nightmare I had last night…
Maiden Rock sees a small town dealing with the gruesome death of a teenage girl. There’s meth in there too, though.
We think they’re the prettiest damn covers this side of the Rio Grande, and you, dear reader(s) are the very first to get a gander:
Urine, surprisingly, can be a blessing
June 5, 2007 12:46 pmOn Book Signings, Paris Hilton and Giant Phalli
May 24, 2007 2:45 pmBill Bryan kicked off a whirling dervish of a book signing for KEEP IT REAL at Book Soup with the aid of a giant penis. (mildly NSFW photos)
The dick walked in, presented Bill with a summons on behalf of Donald Trump, and then probably danced a happy little jig.
And they said our original cover drafts were too provocative:
Oh, and I guess some young socialite by the name of Paris Hilton showed up.
I’m not familiar with who she is or what she does, but it’s clear that she’s devoutly religious, and not at all into giant penises spouting legalese.
Launched and Loaded
May 23, 2007 12:08 amVonBliss.com is now officially up and runnin’, and therefore we’ll waste no more precious blog space with pithy updates regarding its progress.
You should (and by you, I mean the four random people who accidentally stumble upon this page through some Howard The Duck-ian wormhole) definitely go check it out, as it is truly writ large in the HTMLs.
In other news, the Runoff ARC is approved and en route to the good folk at Bookmobile.
Behold, this heady amalgam of Chinatown intrigue and election fraud!
