Poolside With Brett by David D. D'Aguanno

Private detective Brett Cornell believes that he's never had it so good.

He's been on a winning streak playing poker in private games being held in the back room of one of his favorite night spots. He's recently been "discovered" by an exotic-looking beauty who specializes in home-made adult films. In addition, he's been hired to track down a certain missing husband and bring him back home to his anxious wife.

His life, however, takes a sudden turn for the worse when he opens the trunk of his car one evening and finds the missing husband's murdered corpse stashed away inside of it. A set-up for a murder rap?

Set in the late 1980s, "Poolside with Brett" is the first in a series of novels featuring the tough and crass "unscrupulous bastard" himself -- a rude, wise-cracking private detective who happens to be a hugely successful ladies' man, thanks largely to what he immodestly refers to as his "Adonis-like features."

In a tale involving murder, blackmail, an unexpected suicide, and other assorted acts of violence and deceit, Brett learns the hard way that there's a steep price to be paid for being such an unscrupulous bastard -- and readers may very well feel that he gets exactly what he deserves, and more!

Is there anything about you or your writing that makes you unique from other authors?
A unique aspect of my writing, I would say, is my featuring an anti-hero as the main character of my series of comedy-mysteries. In other words, if Brett Cornell were a real person, I doubt that anyone would want to have anything to do with him, especially since he is a self-proclaimed unscrupulous bastard and even prides himself on being so. Of course, throughout the course of the series, sharp readers will notice various "chinks in his armor" as I hope to have his character gradually evolve to a certain extent.

Book of D by Jay Capron

Blue energy:  In your hands, it can heal the injured, find the lost and disable your enemies.  It can get you high and supersize your sex life.  If you're a Bluebody, you can live forever, unless you squander your gift.

Bluebodies: Everybody knows, they’re mentally unstable.  A threat to the social order.  And they stink!  Most of them end up in government hospitals.  Rumor has it, there’s a bounty on Blue.

‘Book of D’ is the story of D Boy, a twenty-something Blue in denial about his true nature, living under false ID’s with people who treat him badly, unemployable due to Blue traits he can't control. His life gets worse when he's forced to come into his gift, to save the tribe from extinction because, “When all the Blue are gone, the world will be gone.” 

D's mentor in the ways of Blue is his half brother Ted, a psychotic trickster. Promising to train D as a 'cosmic consultant', Ted lures him to the Restricted Zone, where they meet a predatory cop, a young woman on a quest to get in touch with her dead sister and a cannibal she-devil, hot and ravenous for Blue.

Tell us a bit about yourself and your work as an author.
Only three people know I wrote BOOK OF D.  I’m trying to keep the writing from screwing up my personal life and vice versa.  Only a certain slice of the population is going to ‘get’ my stuff.  The rest of them will think it’s bad or even offensive.  There’s no way my boss or my grandma should see it.  ‘Jay Capron’ is a pseudonym.

What are you working on now and what projects and ideas do you have lined up next?

I’m currently writing the follow-up to ‘The DNA Thief’, which will be called ‘Hunters Hunted’. I’m about halfway through at the time of writing and it’s planned for a 2013 release. Hunters Hunted builds on the themes and events of The DNA Thief while also being a self-contained story. My aim is to explore the worlds of Sean Yeager and his companions more with each story. The overall ‘grand story arc’ is something else I’m constantly working on as the action ramps up with each adventure. It’s becoming pretty big in all respects. 

Besides this I have some ideas for an adult / young adult piece that I’m sketching out. It would be a dark comedy thriller if it grows legs and takes-off.

What came first, the idea for your first book or the decision to write a book?

Actually the spur to write the first book was a set of short stories I wrote which some children we know really liked. It was their enthusiasm and the directions their imaginations took the characters that made me think ‘I can really do something with this’. I expanded and re-pitched the themes for a broader and older audience and presto Sean Yeager was born.
