 Steven Tyler signs onto Lonely Street movie. Blogs about it.
Steven Tyler of Aerosmith recently let everybody in on a dinner he had with former Vice President Al Gore. But before he got down to the details of steak and old Gore family photo albums, he revealed another tidbit. He's investing in Lonely Street the movie. So, that's pretty cool. Said blog can be found here.
Monkey Man is loose!
Bubba's having coffee with a new client and things seem to be going well until the
monkey with the gun shows up. Now Bubba's facing an uncooperative
police force, a barrel full of suspects, and an intern who drives
everyone bananas. And he's got to figure out which of the animals at
the Albuquerque zoo really belong behind bars—before another one winds
up in the morgue.
Noted book reviewer David J. Montgomery had the following praise for Monkey Man:
"Private investigator Bubba Mabry is having coffee with a prospective client when a man in a gorilla suit walks into the restaurant and shoots the client in the head. These are the kinds of things that only happen to Bubba.
Monkey Man is Steve Brewer's seventh book featuring the lovable galoot of a PI, and it's another winner. This time out, Bubba finds himself up to his ankles in alligators, figuratively speaking, when he investigates a series of unexplained deaths at the Albuquerque Zoo.
Part of the charm of this series is that Bubba doesn't take himself too seriously—but the author takes the stories seriously, making sure that they're well-crafted and entertaining. It's hard work, blending comedy and mystery together into a seamless plot, but Brewer is one of the best at doing it.
If you're looking for light and fast-paced entertainment, this book is a perfect choice—and that's no monkey business."
Walking Lonely Street to Hollywood Blvd.
Unless you've been living under a rock that doesn't have access to the internet, you know that the first Bubba Mabry mystery, Lonely Street, has already been turned into a movie starring Jay Mohr as Bubba. What's that experience been like for Steve? Well, as it turns out, he just did an interview with the good people over at The Rap Sheet. You can read it here.
