SOLITAIRE 2: THE AGENDA NOW AVAILABLE!

Cover by Ted Hammond

 I said I'd let everyone know when it was released and I'm a man of my word.

Just didn't expect to see it so soon.

When the son of a wealthy aviation corporation owner is kidnapped by a vicious gang, the family turns to the mysterious entity known as Solitaire to rescue him.

In the process, the female master of disguise soon uncovers a personal vendetta against Andrews Aviation. The gang’s goal is not only to ruin the family but also steal their experimental new drone which the U.S. Military is hoping to purchase.

Once again Solitaire will have to rely on her many roles to confuse and defeat a fanatical enemy.

Airship 27 Production is thrilled to present pulp scribe Lee Houston, Junior’s second fast pace thriller featuring his original, amazing new heroine, Solitaire. This one is filled with exotic locales, cunning bad guys and non-stop action.

With a stunning cover by Ted Hammond and interior art by Chuck Bordell.

Now available in print and e-book formats from Amazon!

PROGRESS REPORT: WEEK ENDING JUNE 24, 2023

 I'm conducting my midpoint review of SOLITAIRE 2: THE AGENDA at the moment.

Just something I do in the middle of every manuscript. Especially the novel size ones.

So far, besides catching either a misspelled word, a missing word or having to change a word outright to something better than what I originally wrote; I've also added about a 1,000 words between three new scenes scattered throughout the story.

I'm on Chapter 12 of the existing 23 at the moment and will resume writing when I reach where I left off.

A friendly reminder that the first SOLITAIRE novel (no subtitle) is available in print and e-book formats from Airship 27 via Amazon. 😀

I'm not usually one to toot my own horn, but I'm very proud of this novel and it opening a brand new series for me.

My personal thanks again to interior artist Chuck Bordell and cover artist Ted Hammond as well as Ron Fortier and Rob Davis of Airship 27 for helping to bring my manuscript into reality.

Seeing this book in print is a dream come true and if I want the dream to continue I better get back to writing now so

Take care.

STAY SAFE!😷

And I'll see you around the Internet.

Nine fantastic illustrations by artist Chuck Bordell and my action packed prose are within a beautiful cover by Ted Hammond.

Like James Bond? Mission: Impossible? Artemus Gordon?

Then you'll love the Mysterious Samaritan known as Solitaire!

Afraid it's a little too soon for sharing reviews yet, but the initial feedback on word of the novel's release has been highly positive and of course I'm hard at work on writing BOOK 2: THE AGENDA.

About to start Chapter 23 and break the 35,000+ word mark in the process but to do, so I better get back to writing now.

Take care.

STAY SAFE! 😷

HAPPY FATHERS' DAY! 

This is my 550TH WRITING BLOG POST!😲

And I'll see you around the Internet.

SOLITAIRE DEBUTS!

 To keep my promise from yesterday, SOLITAIRE's debut novel has been released by Airship 27! 😁

Jesse Frost was a rising star in the world wide conglomerate known as Megaplex until he accidentally stumbled upon one of their deep dark secrets.

Though unable to contact the authorities before he's assassinated, Frost desperately reached out for help.

While too late to save an innocent man, his warning initiates a page turning action packed thrill-a-minute adventure that leads from New York to Japan and finally the desert outback of Australia as the Clandestine Crusader some only know as SOLITAIRE tries to stop a global communications takeover and bring a murderer to justice.

In his press release, Airship 27 Captain Ron Fortier wrote: "Lee Houston Jr. offers up a brand new pulp hero that will soon have readers mesmerized. Solitaire’s debut appearance is a welcome addition to the role of new modern day avengers." High praise indeed.

Artist Chuck Bordell provided the interior illustrations while Pulp Factory Award Winner Ted Hammond contributed the beautiful cover to accompany the prose of this humble writer/creator, who is hard at work on SOLITAIRE 2: THE AGENDA, the second novel in the Mysterious Samaritan's new on-going series.

SOLITAIRE is now available in Print and/or E-book form from Amazon.

HAPPY READING!
