Marc Lecard
Vinnie's Head Gets Starred
Review in Publisher's Weekly:
Marc Lecard. St. Martin’s Minotaur,
$23.95 (352p) ISBN 978-0-312-36021-4 Lecard, in his endlessly
entertaining debut, shows great skill in pacing and characterization.
Smalltime Long Island crook Johnnie LoDuco is on the lam after
being unjustly fingered as the mastermind of a convenience
store heist. While passing the time fishing, he pulls from
the water the severed head of his best friend, Vinnie McCloskey-Schmidt,
a computer-savvy con artist who had recently promised to bring
LoDuco into his business. This grisly discovery leads to an
engaging comedy of errors, as LoDuco struggles to stay one
step ahead of crooked cops, an amiable serial killer, mobsters
and mysterious figures who may be pulling the strings of an
international financial conspiracy. The violence, though plentiful,
is cartoonish, and Lecard’s appealing antihero has a
distinctive voice reminiscent of Kinky Friedman’s detective
alter ego. Sure to appeal to Elmore Leonard fans, this first
novel augurs a long and successful career for its author. (Mar.).

I just found a great essay by Sandra Ruttan about the do's
and don'ts of book promotion. You should read the whole thing
twice--once for link-full advice from a soon-to-be-published
author, and then once again for the feedback from her readers...
