Act Now Before It's . . . Too Late!

On his blog, novelist/teleplay writer/producer/showrunner/clandestine operative Lee Goldberg is offering you the last chance to buy his out-of-print novel, BEYOND THE BEYOND. "It's bullets over Baywatch" raves USA Today about this 1997 comic mystery, the second book in the Charlie-Willis-Trilogy-Minus-One. Willis, the hero of Lee's novel MY GUN HAS BULLETS, was the ex-LAPD cop who entered the bizarre world of the television industry, as a bribe for not prosecuting the Angela-Lansbury-like actress who daintily shot him during a traffic stop. This sequel explores the alien worlds of science fiction conventions, overzealous fans, and the has-been show creators who exploit them. Yes, fan-fiction's # 1 enemy levels his satirical streetsweeper shotgun at fandom -- and the results are sticky. But funny.

Destined for collector's item status on Ebay -- and barred from the nation's bookstores because of the unfortunate dustjacket, depicting a pink phallic spaceship bursting from a TV screen -- this book can be yours at a relative pittance.

And no, I don't get a penny from this book's sales. But I will get a pat on the head from relatives for plugging my cousin's book. And hey, Lee used to get me free issues of STARLOG about 23 years ago, so I figure I owe him.
