Have you read Dime Store Hitman? I need a small favor. An honest review on Amazon. A sentence or two. That’s it. Reviews help other readers decide whether to give a book a shot. And it will make me smile. If you’ve already left one, thank you. Seriously. www.amazon.com/dp/173467489X/

Apparently, six books wasn’t enough. Julia has concerns about my revised estimate. Come help justify my purchasing decisions this Monday at Oak & Coal. I’ll be signing Dime Store Hitman in the speakeasy bar. Bring a low-budget hitman home to meet the family.

Eddie “The Cowboy” DelDuco finally has a voice. That seems like a terrible idea for everyone involved. Dime Store Hitman arrives on Audible October 13. The hits, the gnomes, and the very bad decisions are about to become your next listen. #booksky #authorthomascurran #dimestorehitman #audible

WEAPONS OF CHOICE: Eddie “The Cowboy” DelDuco has never owned a silencer. What he does own is a garage full of clearance-aisle weaponry, a collection of garish lawn ornaments, a drawer of burner phones, and one hell of a work ethic. #DimeStoreHitman #AuthorThomasCurran #booksky #NewBooks

Last week, I received my first two-star review from an ARC reader. It was brutal. I Googled the reviewer’s name and found hundreds of pictures of garden gnomes. My novel is about a hitman who leaves garden gnomes beside his victims. I have not fully recovered from this.

I was asked what kind of crime novel this is. It's the kind where a hitman shops at Target for weapons. Eddie "The Cowboy" DelDuco is a professional. He is not a good one. He is cheap, inventive, and has never once owned a silencer. Aug 31 #DimeStoreHitman #AuthorThomasCurran #NewBooks #booksky

DIME STORE HITMAN - Out Aug 31 A vapidly ambitious influencer hires a hitman on Craigslist. "How much to disappear a boyfriend?" Jessica asks. Eddie "The Cowboy" DelDuco replies, "Depends, does disappear mean dead or relocated to Omaha?" Dark noir. Low budget. High body count. Premium snark.

I’m putting together a small advance reader crew for my next novel, Dime Store Hitman. It’s dark, a little unhinged, and features a guy who probably shouldn’t be trusted with anything more dangerous than a broken toaster. If that sounds like your kind of bad decision, send me a private message.

I told myself my next book would be more noir thriller than burned-out chef walking across America chasing a murderer and becoming one himself. Two years later, book 1 in the trilogy has a name and release date. Dime Store Hitman 8-1-26 Meet my conspirators: Cute but deeply unsettling in the book.
My desktop writing team. They didn't know they were signing up as murder weapons.
