MY BOOKS

THE LATEST: ROCK CRITIC MURDERS: 25th ANNIVERSARY EDITION, a multi-touch, multi-media iBook for the iPad. Go directly to to iTunes here.

The iPad edition of Rock Critic Murders has lots of cool music–including bluesy garage rock from the semi-fictional band Cloud 19 (starring myself and Jon Dee Graham), plus some of my solo murder ballads and blues, plus, wild images including my original art and super cool vintage photos of the Skunks and the Armadillo and other Austin landmarks, video postcards from my favorite spots in Austin, and the same ground-breaking rock n roll pulp fiction in Austin murder mystery. Look for the other two Martin Fender novels to be released in this form soon. Buy it here.

ALSO ON AMAZON AND SMASHWORDS
Go to the Jesse Sublett eBooks page Amazon.com and you’ll find some of my works available as eBooks for Kindle, iPhone, iPad and other digital devices. Amazon will deliver my eBooks to whatever device you select. More on the way. SMASHWORDS?? YES. That’s yet another way to buy the ebook (which works on the majority of all e-readers; and it’s text only, not the music & video of the iPad version). Go directly to Rock Critic Murders on Smashwords here.
“Moral Hazard,” a short story originally published in the print anthology Lone Star Noir (Akashic), is also available as an eBook at Amazon. “Moral Hazard” has an Austin setting, and is a dark crime caper story involving a ring of professional thieves and some corrupt politicians and religious figures, and also, believe it or not, a strange at-gunpoint-critical-analysis of Cormac McCarthy’s great novel No Country for Old Men. Read about the background of this story here.

My memoir, “Never the Same Again: A Rock n’ Roll Gothic” was published in 2004. Read an excerpt here.

The book is about my music career, about being diagnosed with Stage IV throat cancer with four percent chance of survival, and getting through that, about growing up in the Hill Country, the murder of my girlfriend, Dianne Roberts, by a serial killer, as my music career was just beginning, recovering from that, living in LA with Lois, my wife, and becoming a father, being a crime writer and nonfiction TV writer, novelist, etc. etc. etc.

“Never the Same Again is a harrowing, wrenching, spellbinding work of great candor and soul. Read it, think with it, dig it.”
James Ellroy (Author, L.A. Confidential, American Tabloid, The Cold Six Thousand)

And after reading Rock Critic Murders you can look forward to the sequels, Tough Baby and Boiled in Concrete, which will soon be made available for your Kindle, ALSO for Apple iPhone, iPad, etc.

Martin Fender was the FIRST of the Austin, Texas based private eyes, unless you count Tiq Toq, the comical detective creation of Sidney Porter / O. Henry. But that’s another story. I’ll tell you about it someday.

We have some hard copies of my memoir, Never the Same Again: A Rock n’ Roll Gothic, for sale. To get a signed copy, send us an email. The books are $20 + $5 shipping and handling in the USA.
