Description

Thirty years ago, Harry Felix was one of the hottest writers in Hollywood. He created a very popular situation comedy, and he wrote a series of popular movies—he even won an Oscar for a screenplay he wrote. Sadly, Harry's career has been in the dump for years.

Early in the novel, Harry tries to sell a screenplay to movie studio executives. It is an action-comedy about Belinda, a beautiful and cunning woman who is the best field officer in the CIA.

After lunch, while strolling in a park, Harry is tackled by Belinda. Seconds later someone drops bombs near them. While Harry and Belinda try to figure out what is going on, the violence and the comic aspects of the story escalate. Soon Harry realizes that as he was trying to sell a story to Hollywood executives, the story was happening in real life. Now people in the story Harry created are trying to kill him.

As Harry wonders why Belinda has rushed to his aid, he realizes that to solve the problems before him, he must address issues from his past.

“Harry’s Story” is much more than a funny novel. It is one of those rare novels that is engaging and entertaining, stimulating and provocative.

T'was the Night Before Christmas... 

 (With apologies to Clement Clarke Moore, may he forgive my doggerel...)

...and all through the shop,
all we minions were working,
   until ready to drop.

The ebooks were flying,
the covers were spare,
The edits were crazy,
   with "one more thing I must share!"

We waited for Santa,
'Cuz we love old Saint Nick,
But Hitch made us work,
   Waving 'round an old stick!

So slave we all did,
And made all your books,
So that Hitch would say now,
   that we're off the hook.

Come today we're off,
to rest up our fingers,
Our hats we will doff,
   No books they do linger.

But we'll all be back,
Don't give it a thought,
for like all wage slaves,
   we're easily bought.

We'll be back on the fifth,
all eager and fresh,
All ready for you,
   after a well-deserved rest.

So Hitch wants to say,
very strongly and loud,
THANKS ALL YOU GUYS,
  you're the best type of crowd.

Indy and Len and Hitch and the gang,
will be back on the 5th,
to do books with a BANG!

In the meantime don't worry,
if you're in a hurry,
'cuz some poor guy got stuck
   sitting here like a duck.

Your emails we'll receive,
so no need to grieve.
We'll be a bit slow,
but we're raring to go.

Your books will be worked on,
your edits still made,
we're just resting a bit,
   before we all fade.

So please excuse the delays;
It won't be for days;
we'll jump on your queries,
   for your wondrous new series.

We waited for Santa,
'Cuz we love old St. Nick,
And sure 'nuff he came,
   It wasn't a trick.

And as he rode off,
into the night,
I could swear I heard Hitch yell,
   "That Edit's Not Right!"

~~~~~~~~~~

We'll be back on the morning of January 5th; we'll be here parttime between now and then, thanks.
