Doc1647545523 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/the_whole_lie.jpg This is my friend's second novel, just published last week and available pretty much everywhere (Barnes & Nobles, Amazon) as a hardback or as an e-book. It opens, When Savvy Kane walked into my shop, I was wrestling the rotted muffler from a Maxima. It's not a pretty job. Rust flakes, road crud, frozen bolts. Cursing involved. As I gave a final twist, the customer door swung open. I looked. I looked again. My jaw dropped. The muffler dropped. It weighed thirty pounds, and every one of them landed on my right boot. Her name was Savannah, but when I'd met her in a biker bar on the south side of Owensboro, Kentucky, all the Harley boys had called her Savvy. It wasn't hard to see why. She didn't pay for a drink all night. And she drank a lot. I just finished reading it and think it's another great book for someone into cars and into film noir. I wrote a mini-review of his first book in the series here: http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1484285&postcount=4 Steve planned on being in Ohio this month and agreed to come to the hangout with a film crew for an open house with CR. Unfortunately, his touring schedule filled before we could nail-down a weekend. His first book just went to paperback this month, second novel just published, and he's finishing the deal on the third in the series. His publisher has him out making the rounds doing talks and book-signings. He's lecturing at Ohio Wesleyan in October so watch this fall for a thread on here about a reception for him at the hangout. His book is $16 hardcover, $12 e-book. If you want an inscribed and autographed first edition for yourself or as a gift, PM me with the message you want him to write, and I'll put together an order with him. Here's his website if you want to know more: http://www.ulfelder.com/site/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc1647545523 Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 TL;DR You didn't miss anything--it's not for you. It's for people who are knowledgeable about cars and have attention spans longer than ten seconds. http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/emoticons/ChainGun-1.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
