Psycho Chicken & Other Foolish Tales Cover is Here!

Greetings from Sons of Liberty Publishing with our September update.

As always, we're busy as hell here with all of the different projects going on. Our next book release is the long awaited sort of...kind of true story of the legendary Boston band The Fools written by their frontman Mike Girard. The Fools are best known for their songs 'Psycho Chicken,' 'Life Sucks...Then You Die,' 'World Dance Party' and "Doo Wah Diddy' amongst others.

So here it is, the very first place the cover will be seen in public...

So what do you think? The cover is meant to evoke the lunacy of the band, along with the classic Japanese monster movies and the old style EC Comics cover. If you look closely, in the background you'll see a number of Mike's classic characters too. How many can you name?

So when will the book be available you ask? The official release date is November, 27 2010 at The Fools' show scheduled at the Blue Ocean Performance Hall in Salisbury, MA. After that, Mike will be doing some in-store signings at local stores...more info to come on that one. We'll also be offering a very limited edition lithograph of the cover signed by Mike and artist Don Mousseau at the book release show. How cool would that look signed and framed on your wall?

Meanwhile, while you wait for Mike's book, how about a good mystery? Lloyd L. Corricelli's second Ronan Marino novel is out. It's called Chasing Curves: A Ronan Marino Mystery and in this one, Ronan tries to clear a UMass-Lowell baseball player accused of murdering his prospective agent's secretary.

You can purchase it at Amazon, the downtown Lowell Barnes & Noble or it can be special ordered at most other bookstores. If you like your detectives hardboiled and stories full of sex, violence and humor, you're going to love Ronan.

Well, that's all for now. Next month we'll have more news on Psycho Chicken & Other Foolish Tales as well as news on other soon to be published books.

The February Update

Sorry for the long time in posting, but things are happening in a fast and furious way here at Sons of Liberty Publishing. The new year has been upon us and we are about to release our first novel of 2010.

On March 1, Larry Brook's apocalyptic thriller "Whisper of the Seventh Thunder" will be out. This is an incredible book that Harriet Klausner (Amazon's #1 ranked reviewer) called "a fascinating enthralling apocalyptic thriller that deftly blends Brown, Clancy and LaHaye-Jenkins." If you like Dan Brown's work, you will absolutely love this novel. Larry is a gifted author who is going to knock your socks off.


In other big news, we've signed noted author David Daniel
(http://www.daviddanielbooks.com/) to a deal to publish a collection of stories called "Coffin Dust." (Don't worry about what his website says...believe me, it's us publishing it and that will be fixed soon by his webmaster). The stories are very much in the "Twilight Zone" genre of things.

David is a very well known author who has been published numerous times by the big New York guys. His "Alex Rasmussen" detective series (which takes place in Lowell, MA...the same city that Ronan Marino lives in) is what put him on the map and his follow up novels ike "Reunion" and "White Rabbit" have been very highly praised by major publications. We are thrilled to have him on board.

Meanwhile, Lloyd L. Corricelli's next Ronan Marino book called "Chasing Curves" is about to begin editing and the cover is being worked. We hope for a 1 July release for this anticipated follow up to "Two Redheads & A Dead Blonde." Lloyd is also working on the third Ronan adventure for a summer 2011 release.

The company has also just made an offer to another author who came to us via a Lowell Sun article about us. More to come on that when the ink is dry on the contract.

Meanwhile the still untitled Mike Girard (of the band The Fools) book is going well and there may be a big announcement soon as to who is writing the forward. Believe me, we're talking big . big, big news here. Still no consensus on the title yet. Mike wants to call it "Brown M&Ms" (rock fans should get the reference), but we're not so sure Mars Candy will go for that.

In addition to the book part of things, we're hoping to bring in a marketing expert to our team to focus on getting the word out on our products.

We've also already started to look at books for 2011. Unfortunately, we've been forced to temporarily stop accepting submissions from new authors for the time being to get through the submissions we have. We hope to start accepting them again later this year.

To those of you who have bought our books, thank you. For those who haven't...what are you waiting for!

Until next time.
