SMFS list member Michael Bracken’s novella, Three Brisket Tacos and a Sig Saur, was released yesterday by Down & Out Books. This is the second installment
of the six book series, Guns + Tacos, created and edited
by SMFS list member Michael Bracken and Trey R. Barker. It follows the first
book, Tacos de Cazuela con
Smith and Wesson by Gary Phillips. At
this time, the read is available in eBook format only from the publisher, Amazon,
and other vendors.
The entire series, with bonus content,
can be ordered direct from the publisher.
Synopsis:
Joseph
“Joey D” Garrett owes everything to his Aunt Sylvia, including a stint in the
Stateville Correctional Center. When he’s released, Joey returns to the only
life he knows, and he soon becomes an instrumental part of his aunt’s plan to
rob four banks in a single day.
Before that can happen, though, Joey meets Gloria Sanchez, and she turns his life upside down. Gloria’s everything his aunt isn’t, and their developing relationship makes him think about how life could be if he weren’t so dependent on Sylvia. When he’s forced to choose between the two most important women in his life, Joey finds the answer in a take-out bag from a taco truck.
