Greetings,
Our latest offering Fight Card: Monaster Man from
Jason Chirevas (writing as Jack Tunney) has just hit the virtual shelves.
FIGHT CARD: MONSTER MAN
Albuquerque, 1947
A fighter on the rise despite a growing illness,
Ben Harman is on-track for a heavyweight title shot until one disastrous night
in New Mexico ends his chance at glory, and his pro career, in one overhand
right.
Mamaroneck, 1953
Along with Pete – his manager and fellow refugee
from Chicago’s St. Vincent’s Asylum for Boys – Ben lands north of New York City
in the harbor town of Mamaroneck. This will be the latest underground boxing
hot spot to fall victim to Pete and Ben’s scam. The scam is simple – it keeps
Pete and Ben ahead of what happened in Albuquerque and, hopefully, ahead of the
acromegaly twisting and weakening Ben’s body by the punch. Move and scam, move
and scam, has always been their plan.
Then Ben meets Vicky, a fallen Hollywood day
player able to see past Ben’s monstrous exterior to the man inside. As their
romance grows, Ben and Vicky threaten to derail the perfect meal ticket Pete’s
concocted, and Vicky’s connection to the man running Mamaroneck’s illegal
fights – and the secret they share – puts everyone in danger.
Time is running out. With only so many punches
left in his distorting hands, Ben Harman will have to decide how to use them –
as a monster or as a man.
A copy of the manuscript is attached for your
enjoyment as is a copy of the beautiful cover by Carl Yonder ... Any mentions
on your blogs or social networking sites are very much appreciated.
Coming up next month, and due to debut in
paperback at the upcoming Howard Days convention, Fight Card: The Adventures of
Tom Sharkey from Mark Finn...a collection of short stories that will have
Howard's Sailor Steve Costigan looking to his laurels.
Keep Punching!
Paul
