Writing News!

Just wanted to let you all know I am alive and well. I've had a couple of scary but not-so serious illnesses that kept me offline more than I usually am. I am playing catch up with many things right now, and blogging is one of them. 

But we have news about writing! Blog correspondent and all around good guy Lee Houston Jr. had a brand new book out! Hugh Monn Private Detective: Catch A Rising Star is a full length novel adventure featuring the far-flung future's favorite investigator. This one comes out of the starting gate with yet another fantastic piece of cover art by the uber-talented Mr. David Russell but what's inside the cover is just as much of a treat. Trust me, you don't want to miss out on this!



Of course Lee's first Hugh Monn book, with the collection of short stories, is also still available in just about all the same outlets, if you have some catching up to do. And then, if you're of a mind to hear the stories actually narrated to you in the most dramatic fashion, there is now an audiobook collection of the first Hugh Monn book, well over 7 hours of listening fun. Like the book, it sports another cover by David Russell, this one was a Pulp Ark award winner. 



So you can't go wrong here folks! If you want to hear our Lee chatting about his latest creations, there's a free podcast you can listen to right here: http://prosepodcast.libsyn.com/pro-se-presents-the-podcast-episode-2-lee-houston-jr-and-hugh-monn-private-detective-catch-a-rising-star

So you see, while I've been somewhat sidelined, my blogmates here haven't been idle at all. And not to worry, I'm still writing, still gardening, still busy with all sorts of great things, especially now that I'm feeling better. And how could I not be, with a brand new grandson due in about a month? Plus I should have a book or two of my own out sometime before the end of the year, as well as some short stories in various places. 

2013 sure is flying by with all that is going on!

Be well,
~Nancy

Lee Houston Jr's PROJECT: ALPHA book gets some love!

You have no idea how happy this makes me for one of our own here at In My Spare Time...



Lee's book PROJECT: ALPHA, the seminal tale of a superhero-in-the-making, got some well deserved love from none other than the celebrated new pulp author of The Rook and Lazarus Gray, Mr. Barry Reese. On his website today, Barry picked his favorite new pulp books of 2012, and PROJECT: ALPHA was one of seven. That says an awful lot about the quality of this novel, because it was in there with some hard-hitting company. Way to go Lee!

PROJECT: ALPHA by Lee Houston Jr., published by Pro Se Press, is available on Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble online as both paperback and Kindle/Nook offerings, and on Smashwords in just about any E-format you can imagine. Check it out folks, this book is a real winner!

AN ODE TO BLACK FRIDAY

Hello Everybody. Lee Houston, Junior here.
Yes, I know it's been quite a while since I posted here last, but hopefully that's a situation that is going to change now.
In any event, I'm back, and here to present AN ODE TO BLACK FRIDAY, that I composed myself.
Ready?

Some dared brave the gloom of blackest night
Questing for bargains upon their trek
Hitting every sale before daylight




Me? I planned well ahead
No nerves, credit, or car suffered wreck
Just restful slumber within my own bed!
