Throwing Rubber Chickens into a Fedora
Absurdity, comedy, and thrilling mysteries. All smashed up into a glorious gumbo.
It's the flavor I like best.
From Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep to Douglass Adams's Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, I stew my influences into something truly unique. All of this is why my debut novel Terms of Service is both a lampoon of, and homage to the Noir genre, in a sci-fi setting. Balancing satire and comedy with real tension in a thriller is a delicate dance, but so far I've managed not to trip over my own laces.
I'm looking to connect with readers, and also other indie authors. I'm seriously new to this, and getting a new subscriber to my mailing list makes my day. I'm always looking for a fun mystery and would be happy to chat about the genre. I'm more of a noir action guy than a cozy reader, but if there's a standout I'll take a peek.
If you're a pulp sci-fi author, give me a shout! I'm interested in talking about everything from the nuts and bolts of plotting to just how damn cool it is.
If you want to reach out, shoot me a message on here. If not, you can head over to my site at https://elliottscottwrites.com. You'll be able to find my contact info pretty easily.
To close this out I'm going to lay out a line from one of my recent works, The Hardline Habit. The story is about a 'drug' that takes the form of a wire laid into the user's brain. It's addictive, insane, and based on some real life technology--which are all hallmarks of my work.

As far as highs went, getting a Wire installed was relatively cheap. If you’re talking the cost of Specs spent on the surgery, that is. What it really cost you was the rest of your life. The habit started off with stick-on applicators for a quick hit in the bathroom, and ended up where these feet were. No living soul could kick that hardline habit. The song its wire sang was just too sweet. And when they finally bit the dust, their thumbs locked down hard. Not even the dead got off it.
It was a deadly habit that was hard to watch, and it made heroin look like an afternoon jog.
