edit data

Thomas Pluck has slung hash, worked on the docks, trained in martial arts in Japan, and even swept the Guggenheim museum (but not as part of a clever heist). He hails from Nutley, New Jersey, home to criminal masterminds Martha Stewart and Richard Blake, but has so far evaded capture. Wallace Stroby called his novel BAD BOY BOOGIE "a vivid dose of New Jersey noir with heart, soul and muscle.“

Joyce Carol Oates calls him “a lovely kitty man.”

He is also the editor of the Protectors anthologies to benefit PROTECT: The National Association to Protect Children.

You can find him on the web at www.thomaspluck.com and Twitter as @thomaspluck ...more

I can’t blame the supply chain, my publisher accidentally sent these to my old address. Sarah and I picked them up on Thanksgiving, and I was very thankful to finally hold this beautiful book in my hands. That purple cover? It’s Plum Crazy, the paint code of Jay Desmarteaux’s banged-up ’71 Challenger from Bad Boy Boogie. He’s still driving it in the sequel, as he heads home to Louisiana to fin
