Stephen King on Of Mutts and Men

“I have been a Chet and Bernie fan from the start, and this is the best one yet—suspenseful, laugh-out-loud funny in places, and surprisingly tender. This is without a doubt the most original mystery series currently available. Chet is a wonderful narrator—top dog, you could say—but he never descends to cuteness, and Bernie is as tough a PI as Spade or Marlowe, a man as quick with his .38 as he is with a Slim Jim for his sidekick. I’m already jonesing for the next one.”

Preorder Info

Normally on Sundays we do beginnings, taking a look at the start of a Peter Abrahams novel, including those written under the Spencer Quinn moniker. But since there’s a bit of confusion about the Of Mutts and Men preorder campaign, we’ll post about that. All who preorder a digital or hardcover copy of Of Mutts and Men will receive for free on pub date the brand new short story called The Iggy Papers. Simply upload the receipt to the link below. (The questions on the form re month and year of birth are required since those under 18 are ineligible.) Please do not upload the receipts to this page. I have no way of managing the business end – the publisher is well equipped to handle that. My job is to write the books. Wish me luck!

Of Mutts and Men Preorder Info

There have been some questions about preordering Of Mutts and Men, the next Chet and Bernie novel, coming July 7. This should be easy and simple. Everyone who preorders will receive a bonus short story for free (I’m rather fond of this short story! It’s called The Iggy Papers and includes a Galaxtron scene for the first time in English-language literature). Just save your receipt and upload it to the site at this link:

The Great Outdoors

I hope in this trying time that you’re managing to get outdoors a lot. Have you ever noticed that much of the Chet and Bernie series takes place outdoors? Here’s a little bit from Of Mutts and Men, the next Chat and Bernie novel. (And don’t forget the special preorder offer!)

We went over to the car, had a nice drink of water, Bernie from a bottle, me from my portable water bowl. It was the hot time of year, when water always tastes best. Bernie held his water bottle in the sun, gave it a close look, as though hoping to see something. All I saw was water, but so clear in the bright light that it was almost like seeing water for the very first time. The next moment, I understood water completely. The moment after that, I didn’t understand it at all. I felt a bit dizzy.
