Hey, fans of The Coyote Kings of the Space-Age Bachelor Pad —after years away, the two heroes of E-Town are finally back! On November 12, 2018, I’m launching the sequel as the serialized novel The Coyote Kings vs. The Myconauts of Plutonium City! Question: What happens when the Coyotes learn their favourite professor has been murdered in Fort MacMurray for protesting the tar barons, and when Yehat’s one-that-got-away is being targeted by the same alliance of bikers, RCMP, Big Oil leg breakers, and doomsday cultists preparing for global genocide?
