Authors

Denniger Bolton

Denniger is the author of four hilariously funny, very popular, mystery-suspense-action-adventure novels. Hippie Hollow - Murder on a Nude Beach, set in Austin, Texas, featuring B. B. Rivers, rodeo cowboy, bouncer on 6^th Street, and Austin's newest private investigator.  The Armadillo Whisperer - Murder Behind Bars is B.B.'s second adventure, where he travels to Colorado. His third novel is just out , Honk If You're Jesus - Murder by the Bay, set in Taos, San Francisco and like the first two, includes of course, lots about Austin and the Texas Hill Country.

His 4th book in the Trilogy, Cowboy on Fire - Murder Under the Volcano, which is set in Costa Rica and other exotic locales is now out and you can order in here on this website, on Amazon and Amazon's Kindle.

Our own Dripping Springs goat ropin' cowboy has written a screenplay adapting the fun and magic of Hippie Hollow.

He is available for humorous and informative presentations for book clubs and associations. If you are a meeting planner, he offers two talks "Anatomy of a Novel" and "The Naked Truth About Hippie Hollow."

If you are a Kindle lover, check out Denniger's e-books on Kindle. Not only are the above four B.B. Rivers novels available but some short stories as well as his new YA/Young Person's book not yet on paper, Harley & Dog about a meter reader for a small town forced to retire and he now spends his days picking up trash around the town. Of course there's mystery hidden in the litter which Harley solves, and Dog is not really a dog but his pet raccoon.

And Denniger is working on a Seminar called Anatomy of a Novel to help aspiring and current writers to write, publish and make a living with their books.

More About Denniger

Donald L. Buford

He's been called the James Joyce of our generation! Donald L. Buford's new book,  Sex, Drugs & a Rock Band, Book One will quickly become a cult classic. It's a look at the music business from the inside out. Compared to Hunter S. Thompson in his outrage and gutsy appeal, Don's Sex, Drugs is funny as hell, a true slice of life in the music industry of the early 1970s of Kent State and Woodstock. Somehow Don remembers (he thinks) all the little details of that era, despite ingesting mass quantities of booze, drugs and groupies.  A day-to-day excursion through the crash pads and side streets of a little southern town.

This autobiographical "writer's copy" is un-censored, un-edited, free-flowing, a true Gonzo recollection, and if you are a fan of sex, drugs, and/or rock & roll, you will find Sex, Drugs Book I, as good a representation of what transpired in those golden days of yesteryear as you are ever going to find. 

His website is now on-line, and if you'd like a copy, please go to the Javelina Books Order Page or click the "More About Don" link below to order from Don. It's a book that tells it how it really, really, was.

Don says he'll keep writing until he completely chronicles the 1970s. His second book is about what the rest of the musicians (rock & rollers) were doing in Austin, Texas when Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings & the gang took over the music scene. The  title for this work is Austin, Texas. The Willie & Waylon Years - 1974 - 1976 - From The Rock & Roll Side of Town . This long awaited book from Gonzo Don is now available on Kindle and will be available in paper form later this summer.

Cost on Kindle is $5.99.

Lester Morris

Lester's new book The Violets Are Mine - Tales of an Unwanted Orphan, is a memoir of his life growing up in an orphanage and in foster care in World War II England. It has taken him over 30 years to get this book to print, beginning to be told when he was a tour director in England as he related tales from the events and experiences of his childhood to the captive audience on his tours.

What he went through as an orphan was so touching, yet at times so dismal and heart-wrenching, it is hard to relate to some of it. For a glimpse of what transpired in those days, the book is not only his life, but as well a personal look at a bygone era. Rest assured it will warm your heart and clear out your tear ducts and roll you in the aisles with laughter.

Pour yourself a snifter, a shot, or a cup of tea to warm you, light a fire in the fireplace, put on your robe and slippers, grab a box of tissue, and begin Lester's journey.

We are fortunate that Lester has reissued a classic book of his called Did You Knows? of England which covers just about everything you'd need to know about his home country, all the little-known facts and trivia of that great country.

John Theofanis

John's new book is called Funny Man although published by Javelina Books in e-books form is only available on Kindle, and cannot at this time be ordered on this website. So, go to kindle.com and search for Funny Man. 

Redheaded Randy Ralston, a popular game show host and comedian, stands atop the Hollywood galaxy. Everybody loves him. He's America's funny man...UNTIL his wife Yvette ends up dead on his agent's couch. He's the number one suspect, and he doesn't remember if he killed her or not. He was drunk or stoned or otherwise incapacitated.

Funny Man is a cross between Elmore Leonard and Regis Philbin after a few martinis. Randy riffs freely on his obsessions: the female form, the comic's worldview, and the quirks of the City of Angels.

Cost is $5.99 on Kindle.
