Don't be afraid to read my latest, even if the yuppies tell you I'm a terrible person because I don't wear golf shirts! It's called Cool It Down Cool It Down by Alec Cizak and it's probably the most hallucinatory crime fiction book ever written. Not that I would know about hallucinations or anything...

Reminder:

The greatest anthology to ever come out of the indie scene was David Cranmer's Beat to a Pulp Round 1 by David Cranmer Beat to a Pulp: Round 1. If you can find a copy, it's worth every penny.

Yes. I once had two copies of it and they seem to have gotten lost on one of the five cross-country moves I've had to make over the last twelve years.
