Just noticed a new e-book collection by Nick Pollotta at Fictionwise: Tequila Mockingbird.
This makes me happy. Nick is best known (to me, anyway) as the writer of the Bureau 13 series, which could be described as X-Files commandos or, more accurately, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer strike force. Creepy crawlies, horrible monsters, funny characters, and serious events. And co-writer with Phil Foglio of “Illegal Aliens” and “That Darn Squid God.”
But this is a look at his shorter work, some of which were previously available on Fictionwise already. “The Incredibly Civil War,” “A Distant Moon” (fun Camelot story), “Millenium Knights” (of course rappers fought vampires, everyone knows that…), “The Really Final Solution” (Sherlock Holmes, of course), a fun Spenser parody, and more. Lighthearted, silly, and dead-on accurate parody.
Go get it. G’head. I’ll wait.
