The Hack
Greg Crites, author of over twenty novels and hundreds of short stories, is as unique and remarkable a talent as you will ever find and his fiction is a flat out blast to read. CRUSADE is an eighty-thousand-word missile of a novel that straps the reader in, hands them a first-class e-ticket to eternal damnation, and then keeps them laughing for the entire trip. (this is some stuff someone else said about me. No, I am not referring to myself in the third person. HAR!) <br> <br>In May 2008, Crites recorded his first audiobook, a novel about an alcoholic vampire called DUNKIN THE VAMPIRE SLAYER. Word quickly spread through the podcasting sites about a hilarious new talent and he recorded over 15,000 downloads in the first month. His next book, CRUSADE, expanded his audience even further and by October 2010 Crites' novel chapters had seen two-million downloads. <br> <br>The podcasting world has become an excellent filter for talented fiction and Crites is unquestionably one of the best it has produced. His novels, all set in Florida, follow in the direct footsteps of Tim Dorsey and Carl Hiaasen.
