I'll admit for a long time I had no idea what OOP meant in reference to books. When I realized it meant Out Of Print I felt like an idiot. Well, now none of my books a have that awkward sounding label. See, nobody noticed but the two novels I wrote with JB Kohl, One Too Many Blows To The Head and the sequel, Borrowed Trouble, had gone out of print.
We regained the rights from the publisher, who were kind and generous people to work with and we are forever in their debt for giving us a chance to publish those books. But the books had played themselves out after nearly 5 years (!) and 4 years, respectively. So we took them back and now have self-released them for super cheap. The ebook anyway is only .99 now and forever, save an occasional free promo. The print versions are working their way through the system and should be available shortly at $12.99, which was basically the minimum we could set the price. Deal with it.
Also, I included them in the Amazon matchbook program so if you purchased a print copy in the past, you can get the ebook for free.
We really hope these books continue to have a life. We think they're really good and so have most people who've read them, which might not be many but they're dedicated.
So welcome back to the world of being a book, my two oldest children. And Jen and I are kicking around ideas for a third book. Three seems right, doesn't it? And since we're in charge of Ray and Dean now, why the hell not?

Cool news on breathing new life into your older works. I'm in the midst of reading your newer stuff, actually. Namely 'The Year I Died Seven Times' and just picked up 'White Hot Pistol' (hoping to dig into that as a summer read).
Keep up the good work, man.
