FridayFix™: KISSYMAN AND THE GENTLEMAN Launches at Podiobooks.com!

We've launched KISSYMAN AND THE GENTLEMAN as a free novella over at Podiobooks.com! No jibber-jab, just nonstop noir action.

New York City, 1946. No one knows his real name, but when the job is too dirty, too dangerous, you call Kissyman. Once he was an elite Nazi SS commando, an honorable soldier, a taker of lives. When he was assigned to Dachau and saw what he was actual fighting for, he went AWOL and ran as far away as he could -- to America. He still makes his living with a gun, but he no longer kills for his country. Now, he kills for cash.

A dashing, high-profile bodyguard known as “The Gentleman” is hired to protect Beth Copenhaver, an up-and-coming Hollywood starlet. When a man named Mathis Wrenn surfaces from Beth’s past and threatens her life, The Gentleman hires Kissyman to make Mathis see the error of his ways. It should be a simple job, but there is far more to the connection between Wrenn and Beth than the bombshell lets on. She’s starring in a new movie with John Wayne called Western Dawn. As the premier approaches, Kissyman has to get to Wren before Wrenn can get to Beth.

My one (and only) mistake

Yes, it's true, this was a bit of an editing problem. People enjoyed it so much we thought we'd leave it in.

I like it -- Kissyman is a very good noir char

I listened to this when it was on the feed. I like it.

In order to make tough, gritty noir work, you have to have a tough, grity noir character.

Kissyman definitely fits that bill. Sigler's really done well with this twisted S.O.B. who still somehow manages to be the "good" guy, at least for certain definitions of good and if the money's right.

Furry cows moo and decompress.

Fixed!

I mean, it was spelled correctly the whole time. Yeah, that's the ticket.
