If you decide to take a visit, check out the other e-book covers displayed on the site.

I think they're really impressive, and quite varied as well.

Shortly, the same designer will be asked to create a cover for Brett's 2nd mystery novel --
            "BRETT AEROBICIZES"

Warning: It may be here sooner than you think!

"POOLSIDE WITH BRETT" - on AMAZON !!!

http://www.amazon.com/Poolside-Brett-Cornell-Mysteries-ebook/dp/B00753PQ04/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1328290714&sr=1-1

The first book in the Brett Cornell Series -- "POOLSIDE WITH BRETT" -- is finally making its debut appearance today on amazon.com as an ebook (Kindle edition)

The above link will take you to the page containing an image of the book cover, plus the blurb that was featured in an earlier post on this blog (though somewhat altered).

(Please note: If the above link doesn't work, you can always go to www.amazon.com & use their search engine, typing in the title of the book, or even the words "unscrupulous bastard" -- & good old Brett will miraculously appear before your eyes!)

In addition, by clicking on the image of the book cover, you can sample the entire first chapter, plus a few pages of Chapter 2, absolutely FREE -- even though you might prefer to shell out the exorbitant amount of 99 cents (!!!) if you wanted to read the whole novel.

"POOLSIDE WITH BRETT" will also be available as an ebook (Nook format) on the Barnes & Noble website within the next couple of days.

By the end of next week, for those of you who prefer to have an actual regular-size PAPERBACK in your hands and do your reading the old-fashioned way (we're a dying breed, I know) -- "POOLSIDE WITH BRETT" will then be available for purchase in paperback form.

The price for the paperback edition is presently set for $8.95. I know, I know, it's a bit steep -- but at that price, you may end up getting enough Brett in your system to last you a lifetime (!!!).

If all of that news isn't exciting enough, "POOLSIDE WITH BRETT" is also available as an ebook to customers in England, France, Spain, Germany, & Italy, and we can only hope and pray that Brett Cornell doesn't become responsible for triggering an INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT of some sort.

Needless to say, Brett is now ready to take on the world -- but more importantly, is the world ready to take on Brett? ? ?

Only time will tell, so.  . . Stay tuned, folks!

"BRETT AEROBICIZES" -- In the Works

Possible blurb for "BRETT AEROBICIZES" (the 2nd novel in the Brett Cornell Series):


"A man is found dead with a bullet hole in his chest, and private detective Brett Cornell is the #1 suspect. 

Could it be because he'd been seen punching the guy around only a few days earlier? Or -- more likely -- because the police have discovered that the fatal bullet had been fired from HIS gun? 

In the second novel of this detective series set in the late 1980s, self-proclaimed unscrupulous bastard Brett Cornell has to figure out who's trying to set him up: his lovely but meek new client? Her equally lovely but far from meek room-mate? Or the beautiful and dynamic aerobics instructor he's recently taken up with? 

In the meantime, Brett's legendary Adonis-like features (as he calls them) get severely damaged when he ends up catching the beating of his life -- emotionally as well as physically -- before he finally nails the identity of the real killer!"



This could change before I finally submit it, but I think that, as it stands right now, it would give the reader a pretty good idea of what the novel is about.

Oh, did I mention that Brett gets laid several times during the course of the novel? Oooh, I think I forgot to put that in there!

Oh, well. . .

Brett's starting to COME ALIVE!!  (Scary thought, huh?)

BRETT ON TV ? ? ?

                     


  ( You heard it here first, folks!)


                  "BRETT CORNELL: UNSCRUPULOUS"
                   ( Possible TV-pilot for Comedy Central!)



Comedy Central is currently holding a competition for pilot films for a possible upcoming TV series, and "BRETT CORNELL: UNSCRUPULOUS" is being entered into the competition.



The film was created & directed by Darlene Villanova, with Rhonda Villanova and CowsROut Productions.

The focus of the film is primarily on the relationship between the author of the novels (me) and his cousin (Darlene Villanova) who urges him to re-visit and revise those novels he had written several years earlier.

More information regarding the film can be found at http://www.cowsroutproductions.freeservers.com/


In the meantime, I'm still waiting on a credible image for BRETT before he's ready to "hit the stands" on Amazon!

And -- in the category of "News You've All Been Waiting To Hear":

A 10th Brett Cornell novel may soon come into existence, entitled

                   "BRETT GOES TO THE OPERA" --

The question being, of course: Will opera ever be the same after THAT happens? ? ? ?
