This woman always makes me want to get Zach Cregger on the horn.

white woman with long blond hair and poof bangs, black eyebrows and thick black eyeliner circling nightmare eyes, long face, pouty wide lips, H.R. Giger neck, red dress with poof sleeves, leaning back like she's at a Mystery Spot. The last thing you see before you die.

They're about to print up some galleys of my lady detective novel, so it's time for a new pinned post. So lucky to have stellar blurbs from both Carl Hiaasen and Vicki Hendricks grace the galleys for Bury Me in Vegan Leather.

still from The Big Lebowski of Karl Hungus lying drunk in a pool floatie next to an empty bottle of liquor. White text reads:

PRAISE
for
BURY ME IN VEGAN LEATHER
"If Raymond Chandler had a wild and wayward great-granddaughter, she'd write like April Wolfe... probably shouldn't make you laugh, but you do. Sober, buzzed, or hungover, Barbara "Bobby Sockett" is a private eye you won't soon forget. The city of angels doesn't stand a chance."
— Carl Hiaasen

movie still, up-shot of a woman in a shiny teal bikini, holding a bottle of sunscreen. White text reads:

PRAISE
for
BURY ME IN VEGAN LEATHER
"Off-beat and shocking. This down-and-out detective smashes all the stereotypes with her brutal introspection and unique lack of method for solving a case. April Wolfe's eclectic pop-culture humor is so much fun that you might forget to follow the plot. I laughed out loud and scared my cat!"
— Vicki Hendricks, author of MIAMI PURITY

I’m kind of obsessed with this luxury baby-wearing brand where all the parents look very angry they have children

Woman in a red shirt with curly hair wearing a baby in a posh herringbone carrier. She looks like you just chose not to recycle in front of her.

Man in a white hoodie with the hood up over his blue cap, wearing a baby in a blue carrier. He looks like you just said something fucked up about the Mets.

Oh I see. You remain unconvinced. My passion for graphic design frightens you. Well, would you preorder my book with 25% off for members at B&N with code PREORDER25 if I told you Carl Hiaasen said I’m the drunk granddaughter of Raymond Chandler???

If Raymond Chandler had a wild and wayward great-granddaughter, she'd write like April Wolfe. The dizzying plot of Bury Me in Vegan Leather sends the characters careening and crashing through Los Angeles in ways that probably shouldn't make you laugh, but you do. Sober, buzzed, or hungover, Barbara "Bobby Sockett" is a private eye you won't soon forget.

I'm so psyched to be writing not just a book but a SERIES of books following this detective character, who I sold as "if Philip Marlowe were an underachieving drunk slut disaster bisexual with student loans, a Metro pass, and tiresome dietary restrictions." Soho Press was my dream home for this!
