Story Merchant Books presents the debut novel Interrogator’s Notebook from prize-winning author and blogger Martin Ott. A former U.S. Army interrogator, Martin Ott uses his real-world experience and meticulous research in creating the character of Norman Kross, a master interrogator skilled at unlocking others’ secrets but blind to the truth of his relationship with his wife, sons, father and friends.

In the novel, Norman Kross is a career interrogator who has worked covertly in some of the most dangerous places in the world. It’s taken its toll, though. He returns to his Los Angeles home, contemplating retirement and coming to terms with his past in his Interrogator’s Notebook.

Floundering as a teacher, Norman agrees to take on one last assignment, to interrogate the character actor George Stark who may be responsible for the death of a director’s daughter. Armed with cunning, deceit and a deadly past, the actor poses an escalating challenge, and a terrifying threat to everything Norman has ever cared about.

A parody. Book #2.

Frightened by the wacky desires and twisted history of the gorgeous, boob-a-licious, young mogul, Bea Plastique, Mormon Silver has ignored all warning signs, and asked for her hand in marriage.

Desire for Bea’s butt still dominates his dreams, and when she proposes a route there, Mormon cannot resist. They continue their sweltering sexcapades, and Mormon learns more about the disturbing past of his hungry, obsessed, and insatiable lover.

While Bea wrestles with her sex toys, Mormon must deal with the fury and cock-blockage of her Grandmother, who came before her (of course), and make the second most important decision of his life–whether or not to reveal that he has had a vasectomy.

For Whom the Book Tells (Four Fathers)
George Pritchard Harris
4.1 Stars (9 Reviews)
Genre: Contemporary Fiction | Coming of Age

FREE for a limited time

“A wild, juicy history of four families whose lives converge in bucolic Barrington in the sixties, with a sly eye to the future. Laced with poetry, music, philosophical musings and baseball, it ranges from the Midwest to Texas, Hawaii, the Dominican Republic and beyond. It exposes the underpinnings of a seemingly perfect, privileged community, while it celebrates the singular landscapes and characters that existed in a special place and time.” Becky Harlan Laughlin

Four lifelong buddies ramble on. Barrington, Illinois accedes to the Eastern Seaboard, then back to Chicago. Finally, the compass points north by northwest.

You could say Four Fathers, in each of its volumes, is about “sex, and drugs, and rock and roll.” Or you could say it is about the older virtues, “wine, women, and song.” Anyway you want it- you will end up humming the same happy tune.

Four Fathers is everyone’s tale even as it is unique to its characters. The bygone past is traveled without benefit of GPS.“Four Gigs” has an entirely different meaning in what is now virtual antiquity.The four fellow travelers stumble upon the raw and the cooked. The pages of the book of life form their dreams as their dreams form them.Missteps mark the way; but, after all, that is what the ride is all about.

Joe Cebellum, Fred Etheridge, Tommy Wanderby, and Sam Thorn, step into the tumult to find the sybaritic and the kinesthetic. Confusion finds comfort from the storm disproving the notion you can’t find your way home.

Volume One- “For Whom the Book Tells” – traces the early influences of nature and nurture. Exploration and wonder are the watchwords. This Volume leaves the four lifelong friends upon a precipice of the turmoil of the times.
