Pre-Orders Now On Sale of Florida author’s new ‘Who-Done-It’ are Being in time f next week’s “Indie Book Fest” in Orlando


MELBOURNE, FL —author G.W. Pomichter is pleased to announce his newest book, “Lot 28” is available for Pre-Order from online retailers, Amazon, B&N, Apple and more. The Paperback is also available at these retail outlets in anticipation of the book’s release on July 29, 2015.

“Lot 28” is a sequel to Pomichter’s homage to classic noir, “Lucky,” which has soared to success since its June 2014 release. “Lucky” has sat in Amazon’s top 100 several times during 2014/15, and has gathered a significant social media following.

“Lot 28” follows Pomichter’s William Lucky Marks character on another murder mystery case, this time set in 1950’s Hollywood.

G.W. Pomichter describes the novella as a look at the more classic mystery “who-done-it” genre.

“It is always fun to write a story with such amazing roots in modern literature,” Pomichter said. “When we first read ‘Lucky,’ we are taken on a very nostalgic journey into the darker noir fiction of the 1930s and 40s. With ‘Lot 28,’ I really wanted to have a bit of fun with the “who-done-it” style familiar from ‘Clue’ or ‘And Then There Were None.’”

Pomichter summarizes the story, writing:

“In the summer of 1953, Private Investigator, Will “Lucky” Marks, was working as the in-house private eye for Arcane Pacific Pictures. That’s the summer when famed director Allister Walters was brutally stabbed to death on the scene of his last blockbuster hit mystery, the 1953 noir cult classic, “Witness to the Act.” Lucky is on the scene, and is pulled into this deliciously, deceitful drama of Hollywood film-making. Trapped inside the studio with the killer, Lucky must sort through arcane stereotypes, and challenge common perceptions of the time, as well as his own prejudices in order to sort through the gossip, innuendo and intrigue, to find the killer before time runs out. This movie murder mystery will pit Lucky against some of the most deceitful creatures on earth: movie stars.”

Pomichter claims that “Lot 28” was written to stand alone as its own story, but that fans and readers of “Lucky” will still get enough to demonstrate the connection between the two books.

“In this story, we get to see that Lucky suffers some consequences of the first book,” Pomichter said. “He isn’t as prepared as he should be for this case, because of his impatience in the first story. It means it takes a bit longer for him to fit the pieces together. Of course we also reference characters from book one, and some of our visual descriptions are meant to evoke images from the first as well. But in all, set as a different kind of story on the precipice of a different era, ‘Lot28’ stands by itself.”

“Lot 28” will be released in both e-book and in paperback at online book stores: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple’s popular iBooks, Kobo, Scrib’d and GooglePlay on July 29, 2015.

G.W. Pomichter will debut the book in paperback at the 2015 Indie Book Fest from July 31 thru August 2 at the Caribe Royale Hotel in Orlando, Florida. For more information about Indie Book Fest, visit http://www.indiebookfestcon.com on the internet.

***** `Hey! Hero! Will! Hey there, soldier!' `That's our "lucky"'

By Grady Harp - February 15, 2015

FIVE STARS

Florida author Garrett W Pomichter, born in New York, is a graduate of Florida Air Academy and Eastern Florida State College, and having served as a U.S. Army veteran he now couples professional journalism and political marketing, public and media relations specialist with writing and the depth of his experiences show in this fine brief novel.

There is something about film noir that still stimulates both filmmakers and writers to recreate the particular moody atmosphere of life in Los Angeles in the 1940s. Pomichter pulls this off like a pro in LUCKY.

From paragraph one he finds the core of this genre and from there carries it forward with great ease: `It was a cool September morning in 1945. The War was over. As the sun rose behind the California Mountains, a lonely bus traveled down the steep rocky California hillside road toward the City of Angels. Nearly four years ago, Will Marks had just graduated from the Los Angeles Police Academy. He was young. He was energetic. He was ready for almost anything. But war soon came to young America, and Will, like so many other energetic young men of just 19- years-old, answered the call to serve. The tall muscular teen stood in the long line outside the recruiting station, and joined the Army. He left the life he had, the career he planned and the home he knew behind, not knowing if he'd ever get them back again. This day, he's finally come home.'

As the author's synopsis shares the plot, `Will Marks has just returned home from World War II hoping restart his life as a L.A.P.D. cop, but when civilian life begins to take it's toll, Will is challenged to keep his nose clean and pay his dues. Near the end of his rope, a case nobody wants, a friend nobody believes and a dame with gams to die for all lead him on a perilous journey of self discovery he will never forget. Love, lust, and lamentation, travel beside Will "Lucky" Marks down a winding road of intrigue, mystery and murder. These events collectively conspire to twist the WWII veteran into just another L.A. Story gone bad or transform a war hero into a gritty and great L.A. shamus reminiscent of Sam Spade or Philip Marlowe.'

Pomichter stays on top of his game, collecting all the slang and phrases we associate with that era and building a story that holds enough of the era's humor to balance the tension. He is an author to watch. Grady Harp, February 15
