I’ve been looking forward to the release of My Name Is Russell Fink (Zondervan), by Michael Snyder, since well—FOREVER! Not kidding...well, maybe just a little. Okay, as an occasional reader of Mike’s blog, it’s been fun keeping up-to-date on the novel’s progress, completion, and then learning of the publishing contract. Way to go Mike!
Nobody writes like Michael Snyder. The quirky Russell Fink is an absolutely adorable character, whose self-deprecating manner reminds me of Koontz’s, Odd Thomas. Warning: This book explodes with gut-busting-belly-laughs, unexpected twists and addictive characters.
My Name Is Russell Fink is coming in March to a bookstore near you. Or, you can reserve a copy at Amazon. In the meantime, you can read an excerpt here.
BOOK SYNOPSIS
Russell Fink is an artist trapped in the body of a copier salesman. His fiancée is nearly as psychotic as his family. And someone has murdered Sonny, his allegedly clairvoyant basset hound. His mission is simple … salvage a job he hates, convince his flaky fiancée that their engagement really is over, and find Sonny’s killer.

His mission is simple … salvage a job he hates, convince his flaky fiancée that their engagement really is over, and find Sonny’s killer.
Michael Snyder has spent the bulk of his professional career in sales, has fallen in love, and continues to struggle with the balance between art and vocation. He's never investigated a murder, much less that of an allegedly clairvoyant dog.

Clever, memorable, unpredictable. I want to write like Mike Snyder when I grow up. He makes it look easy. And he doesn’t settle for easy answers, which is good, since there are none.
