"Upgrading" is a Bureau 13 story about one of their members getting his talents upgraded so he can become better at his job. "The Incredibly Civil War" is a tale that reads like an old Harold Lloyd or Three Stooges movie. "The Collar" features a contract killer who finds another calling after meeting a demon. "Raw Terra" is a science fiction tale of cleaning up Titan and a new look at terraforming. "A Matter of Taste" and "The Really Final Solution" are detective tales with Holmes and Watson appearing in the latter. "Power to the People" is another futuristic tale of a war ravaged Earth and one mans attempt to help out.

Pollotta has written an entertaining collection of tales that will bring a chuckle and a grin to show his talent and versatility.

Painfully pun abound

"Never heard of Nick Pollotta? Join the club. Specializing in SF, mystery and humor - and with sixty published titles under his belt, Nick Pollotta has been plugging away just under the mainstream radar for the last fifteen years, earning a living as a writer and having fun doing it.
Tequila Mockingbird is his first collection of humorous (and often painfully punny) short stories. Pollotta's style is a sort of Monty-Python-meets-Raymond-Chandler pastiche. He writes with teenage enthusiasm - there's definitely no tortured, angst-filled artiste behind the gleeful storytelling. This guy obviously loves what he does!
The collection contains eleven stories, all of them bridged with an increasingly preposterous (but informative) "radio interview" with the author.
Tequila Mockingbird is a pie in the face of all the self-important genre fiction that takes itself too seriously. This collection is a delight, playfully lampooning everything we've come to love - and hate - about genre fiction. Tequila Mockingbird probably won't win any awards - but it will give you a few belly laughs!
