'Somebody's Trying to Kill Me: 17 Noir Tales'
Coming August 2: a book of my noir short stories titled “Somebody’s Trying to Kill Me.” Most of the tales have been published in various crime-fiction venues (including Thuglit, Shotgun Honey, Crime Syndicate Magazine, etc.) over the past few years, but the title novella is all new, all weird, and hardboiled through and through. If you’re looking for late-summer beach reading, it’ll be out in Kindle and paperback.
Here's the description, from Amazon:
A bounty hunter tears through the underworld in search of a pair of stolen assault rifles. Somewhere in the Southwestern desert, a college dropout trades textbooks and keggers for ripping off mob dealers. Up in Harlem, a liquor-store owner gambles with his life during a high-stakes robbery, while down in Brooklyn, a penniless novelist finds himself tangled in a mystery involving tattooed freaks, damaged supermodels, and hipsters who can’t shoot straight.
SOMEBODY’S TRYING TO KILL ME features seventeen adrenaline-charged noir thrillers, including the titular novella. Some of these dark tales have been published in Thuglit, Shotgun Honey, Crime Syndicate, and other crime-fiction magazines; more are all new; and every single one of them is guaranteed to keep you turning pages until dawn.
Kindle edition is available for pre-order; paperback will release August 2.
