  1. Actually, the book I have out this month is a series one, most definitely -- THE BIG BANG, a 1964 Mike Hammer manuscript that I completed, working with the Mickey Spillane estate.

    This is the second such collaboration, the first being THE GOLIATH BONE, published in 2008 and the Hammer that Mickey was working on at the time of his death. THE BIG BANG, however, is more reflective of the Hammer who rose to such popularity in the '50s and '60s. Though a May book, it's available now from Amazon and at bookstores as well.

  2. Thanks for the correction and update. I confess, I had forgotten about The Goliath Bone, but am delighted you took the time to remind me (and our readers)!
