GUNMETAL BLACK Reading NYC – 11/20

Daniel Serrano dropped me a note to say he will be reading from his novel, GUNMETAL BLACK this Thursday Nov. 20th after work at 7:00 PM, at Camaradas El Barrio. It’s at First Ave and 115th Street in Spanish Harlem, a short walk from the 6 train. You’ll love it.

They have great beer, sangria and yummy food. After his reading stick around and get blown away by some Boricua Roots Music by Yerbabuena as they get their bomba/plena swerve on.

What people are saying about GUNMETAL BLACK:

“Absolutely sensational!” -Teri Woods, New York Times bestselling author of True to the Game

“Debut novelist Serrano adds a Latino flavor to the genre with this intricate, Spanish-slang-laced story about a Puerto Rican parolee’s journey from jail cell to Chicago’s rough streets as he encounters betrayal, police corruption, casual sex, and stunning violence. The tense plot will grip readers, who will clamor for Serrano’s next work.” -Library Journal

“This book is the truth…unpredictable, with non-stop action…one of the most satisfying books I’ve ever read. Daniel wrote about the drugs, the sex and senseless violence in an honest and new way.”-Felicia “Snoop” Pearson, author of Grace After Midnight, HBO’s The Wire

“…vivid…expertly set up…a dose of unsentimental romance…puts Serrano in the same class as young noir-meisters Charlie Huston and Jason Starr.” –Publishers Weekly

“Action-and romance-packed.”-Carlos Rodriguez Martorell, NY Daily News

“Danny Serrano, a hot new crime-lit author…[of an] action-packed thriller winning raves and comparisons to Carlitos Way.”- Deborah Fields, NY Post

“Gritty and urgent from the first word until the last. Wow!” -Victor McGlothin, author of Ms. Etta’s Fast House

“A complex yet simple, edgy yet smooth, 3D work of art that reads like a classic movie. Daniel Serrano, the craft master, truly has a way with words!” -Pynk, author of Erotic City

“Violent images of Chicago’s inner city add to the book’s authenticity. Gunmetal Black is a sobering dose of life, friendship, loyalty and betrayal that will leave readers hanging on every word.” -Tony Austin, Upscale Magazine

“[R]eaders are immersed in a world as gritty and intense as it is entertaining and unpredictable.” –Laura Thompson, McNaughton Paperback Newsletter

“Pick up this suspenseful crime novel to find out where Eddie’s destiny leads him!”-Right On!

“I loved it! Great characters. Eddie is involved in all this crime but he makes time for romance. I was rooting for him all the way…and I’m urging all my listeners to run out and buy this book!” –Kimberly Kaye, radio personality (WFKX/KIX 96)
