A. Lee Martinez was born in El Paso, Texas. At the age of eighteen, for no apparent reason, he started writing novels. Thirteen short years (and a little over a dozen manuscripts) later, his first novel, Gil's All Fright Diner, was published. His hobbies include juggling, games of all sorts, and astral projecting. Also, he likes to sing along with the radio when he's in the car by himself.
A great little story. In typical Martinez style, this tells a whimsical tale full of crazy fictional characters. With a strong plot and plenty of off the wall scenes, I found this book as good as some of his most notable published novels. Thus, I struggle to figure out why this little novella wasn't formally published. I'm just thankful I had the chance to read it.
