"Boise Longpig Hunting Club" is Out!
Hey everybody!
"Boise Longpig Hunting Club" is out in the wild! We got some early reviews that you should definitely check out:
Irresponsible Reader calls it fast, energetic, and fun. "It’s a violent, nasty hunt full of crazy characters, drug dealers, Aryan assassins, corrupt police — and people who are even worse than them."
Over at BOLO Books, there's also a nice tidbit:
And a solid review at Crime Fiction Lover. I like this bit in particular:
If that perks your interest, the Down & Out Books website has links to all the various store portals: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc.

Over at BOLO Books, there's also a nice tidbit:
"No one is going to accuse Nick Kolakowski of taking the easy way out. Idaho Noir might seem like a misnomer, but Kolakowski makes it work in unimaginable ways. This modern updating of “The Most Dangerous Game” might, on paper, seem completely implausible, but Kolakowski commits to the concept fully and by the end, readers will be shaken to the core. Since this is a Down & Out book, it probably goes without saying that the level of violence is profound, but I never thought it gratuitous or incongruous. This is not a book for everyone, but for those that enjoy this type of thing – and you know who you are – this might be the existential thriller of the season."
And a solid review at Crime Fiction Lover. I like this bit in particular:
"There are several good set pieces, including a shoot-out in an abandoned family hotel, and a couple of encounters with angry rattlesnakes. Kolakowski makes some attempts to draw some thematic parallels with his protagonists’ situation and the exploitation of the working classes by today’s business elites, but it is no more than window dressing for his pulp-infused thriller. He is sensible enough to make sure it doesn’t slow down proceedings."

Boise Longpig Hunting Club
"Boise Longpig Hunting Club" is on sale for $0.99!
"Boise Longpig Hunting Club" remains a book I'm proud of. Writing it involved *a lot* of research, and I ended up talking to a number of bounty hunters and soldiers about their experiences in order to add a layer of realism to the whole endeavor. Plus, it involves a shootout in a clown-themed motel, and how can you go wrong with that?
Plus, readers seem to have responded to it. It remains a solid seller more than three years after it was released, those numbers encouraged me to write the sequel, "Rattlesnake Rodeo," which I also really like.
All this is a long-winded way of saying: Thank you. A solid reader response helps us writers feel a little less lonely as we peck away at our keyboards night after night. If you haven't yet experienced "Hunting Club," the Kindle version is on sale this week on Amazon for a mere $0.99 (it's also the same price on other platforms, such as B&N's Nook). Check it out!

They'll make a lot of money... if they don't drown first!
Hello everyone!
