ALLISON is in the midst of an ambitious project. His series, GLAMOUR GALORE, a
prospective trilogy, began with THE FAMILY JEWELS.
The second novel in the series, just published, is NAUGHTY ASTRONAUTESS.
Allison's genre is farce, at which he is very good. Lilly Linda Le
Strange is the first drag queen astronautess--why hasn't NASA
thought of this? We find Diva Le Strange making quite the grand
entrance into the front hall of the Essential Shopping Mall. This is
no ordinary event. Le Strange is accompanied by a lively
crew--there's Ninja Fringers, programmed by Kung Fu movies, who
flies into the room, followed by a dozen gay activists, run by South
Boston's own Paddy O'Punk, and they did more than just act up, they
bounce all over the place, their campaign against the politically
incorrect. This is just the beginning...wait till the countdown to
the launch!
NAUGHTY ASTRONAUTESS is a trade paperback from iUniverse, $17.95

HAYES, once again, gave a delightful reading at Calamus, this
time from his latest, NOW BATTING FOR BOSTON, which has
quickly become our best selling title of 2005. Joe discussed
his work after the reading with many people who bought his
book; he's featured here, left, in conversation with author
JOHN LAURITSEN. We have signed copies.
