<p>Fans of Dashiell Hammett, who long for days of Bogart and Becall, will appreciate Henry Wood's sleuthing. 1955, Manhattan, and Henry has just gotten the call. Mickey is dead. His long time mentor and friend, run down outside their favorite bar, The Dublin Rogue. It looks like a simple hit and run, but keen eyes notice there is only one empty parking spot on the street, and the pile of cigarette butts in the gutter tells a different tale. Somebody was waiting, but who? A novel in black and white, it harkens back to the days before Google, cell phones, and computer data bases. Henry must use cunning to uncover the truth, because everyone connected to the case has an agenda. There is much sleuthing and just the slightest hint of science fiction hiding in the closet of Henry's basement. All of it, though, is there to give him a chance to uncover the answers. Take a journey back in time and see Manhattan as it was when the Yankees always seemed to win, and Brooklyn had Ebbets Field and the Dodger. There is history, intrigue and hints at romance that will keep you turning page after page until it is time to flip off the light. If you like a mystery, then Time &amp; Again is for you.</p>

Henry Wood: Time and Again (Henry Wood Detective Series)

Brian Meeks

<p>What’s in a Cat’s Name? In a book with a snarky anti-hero who teaches literature to the great unwashed youth of the day, there are bound to be a few literary references. You’ll catch most of them…but…why did Arthur name the cat Maltese and why does he think it’s clever? Arthur Byrne is a protagonist you’ll root for despite your best efforts not to. His love of drink, age inappropriate women, and disdain for authority, are the top three reasons the president of the university wants him gone. Arthur’s decades long writer’s block is the only reason he stays. He’s got nowhere to go. Wen Hu is an enthusiastic teaching assistant that doesn’t get most of Arthur’s jokes. She’s there to help, doesn’t mind being called Lou, and isn’t afraid of him or his snark. The Story Underwood, Scotch, and Wry is a humorous look at social media through the eyes of a Luddite college professor. Watch as Arthur and the dean engage in a angst filled battle to end (or save) his job. This humorous fiction will keep you turning the pages. If you like social media, blogging, and mockery, you’ll enjoy my first satire novel Underwood, Scotch, and Wry. And you just may be the first person who “gets” the Maltese reference. (Note: If you do, just email me and I’ll send back another of my novels [your choice]) Praise for US&amp;W: “Absolutely fabulous wit and dialogue.” – M.W. “Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Being a former "non-computer nerd" there was much to make me laugh! I may even try Twitter now! – Debbie J. W. “With a salute to social media, the author presents a loveable scoundrel who entertains one page after page. Nicely done.” –H. R.</p>
