Book Description
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:
"These days I can honestly say I never know where author Dan O'Brien is going to take readers. Over the books I have read he has transported readers into the lives of characters that definitely stick to you, pushing forward from chapter to chapter, unable to stop until the very end––and even then you don't seem to be able to get enough. That's author Dan O'Brien for you: he draws you in, gives you just enough to hook you, and then shows who really has the power by leaving you anxiously awaiting what he has in store for us next. If MOBSTERS, MONSTERS & NAZIS is any indication, this series will be another project in the win column for this talented storyteller.” ––Cyrus Webb, host of Conversations LIVE radio show
Author Dan O'Brien has teamed up with artist Steve Ferchaud for a one-of-a-kind reading experience that will span six short books. Blending noir, hardboiled detective stories, and pulp comics, "Mobsters, Monsters & Nazis" follows private investigator Derrick Diamond as he searches for an elusive object: a strange device that the Nazis need for their nefarious experiments. Aided by Ava Harpy, a lounge singer at the Yellow Monarch, they dive deep into the underbelly of the city, uncovering a sordid plot that is much larger than they could have possibly imagined.
Now, it might not be a "time travel highlander romance," but it is the first in a series of kindle ebooks that might will surprise you at every turn. I can promise it's a modern pulp story with the usual suspects of pulp heroes and villains. It also manages to satisfy all those readers who enjoy a little cthulhu mythos in the mix.
If you love illustrated works, pulp comics, and a little bit of Lovecraft in your stories, then what are you waiting for?
MORE REVIEWS:
“This is one of the best introductions to a book that I have ever read, you are saddened when it ends and are hooked into wanting to know what happens next. Fans of the movies starring Humphrey Bogart will spot many references to his classics. A story in this genre is difficult to execute, but this is convincing evidence that O’Brien has done it.” – Charles Ashbacher
"This is a fun and original story with fabulous illustrations and the potential to be a thrilling adventure. The world O’Brien has created––blending otherworldly creatures with very familiar noir-style tropes––is deliciously creepy and undeniably interesting. This one is definitely worth picking up.” ––Kathy Cunningham

About the Author
I have been writing novels for over a decade and had a couple published by traditional, small houses. Riding the self-publishing boom, I have four books in print that are available in paperback or e-book format. If you are interested in reading them, I am always open to sending out samples (or PDFs) to those who are interested.
I was born on the east coast and spent most of my life moving around. I recently settled into California where I am a graduate student in Experimental Psychology. I was a fitness trainer and am a lifelong student of martial arts. I write a little bit of everything and have lately been focusing on a few new novels, continuing some series and embarking on a screenplay binge.
Hope to hear from other avid readers and novelists out there.
