Kent Montana #3
Kent Montana and the Once and Future Thing
*Personal: Single green she-beast seeks single man. Color, Creed, species not important.
Down on the bayou, folks called the creature Zergopha. It had been around for quite a spell, slithering through the swamp, chowing down on the odd tourist here and there.
Lately, though, it seemed to be after something more than a one-night snack. Affection, maybe. Possibly even-- commitment. Now it's Spring, and an immortal monster's bizarre fancy has turned to thoughts of weird love.
Only one man is the unlucky object of Zergopha's affections...
Kent Montanna
He's the descendant of Scottish nobility, or so he claims. He's an out-of-work actor. He never gets a good script... but his life is more exciting and outrageous than any science fiction movie. In fact, his life is a science fiction movie...

This book was in a giveaway box at a convention. If you purchased more than two books from the authors, they were giving away books. This was the only one that really interested me in any manner, so I nabbed it.
After a rather lengthy read, this looked like it might be a good choice to start.
Kent Montana is a Scottish noble and an actor. He is out of work from acting and lands a job in a small town in Louisiana. From the start, he sees that things are not quite right in the town. Strange legends and even stranger people are everywhere.
Kent discovers there is no actually acting job and that the local rich guy has something else in mind for him.
It wasn't a bad read. It had some interesting characters and the author's style is entertaining at times. The story itself wasn't bad. All in all, it was pretty much a different sort of pulp fiction without the heavy sex that usually comes with it. Not bad, but nothing amazing.

Not amazing? In the sea of bad writing and tripe that we are offered by publishers this is not amazing? Why is humor under-appreciated ?. Why is it always considered second-class fiction? Why are we expected to accept and suffer through mediocre horror because it is more honorable to bludgeon us with blood and gore then to give us some comedy?

The plot makes very little sense, but the prose is both lyrical and humorous at the same time -- I didn't even know that was possible.
