                                Drawing Dead, my first published novel (1993), is now available for Kindle and Nook for $2.99. It's what you might call a crime novel. Or maybe a caper novel. How about "comic crime caper?" It's about a guy named Joe Crow, who gets involved in a counterfeit rare comic book scam.


                                Whatever Pete Hautman was doing before he wrote Drawing Dead, he was wasting his time.

                                The Mortal Nuts, my third published novel, is now available on Kindle and Nook. This is the story of Axel Speeter, an aging taco vendor at the Minnesota State Fair. Axel keeps his life savings in several Folgers coffee cans. Some meth-powered bad guys find out about his money, and violence ensues. Another "comic crime caper" from the 1990s.

                                I laughed my nuts off.
