Man Martin

The word is out, and great authors are flocking to FoxTale! Man Martin’s first novel, Days of the Endless Corvette, won a Georgia Author of the Year Award and rave reviews from authors like Sonny Brewer and Mark Childress. Martin’s new novel, Paradise Dogs, promises to be another winner, and we’re ... (more)happy to host him at FoxTale shortly after his novel’s release. (This is a change of date.)

Meet Georgia Author of the Year, Man Martin and hear him discuss his new book, "Paradise Dogs". We'll be grilling up our own dogs (of the hot variety) to coincide with the signing so come down and get fed! Adam Newman once had it all. But then he lost it. Now Adam yearns to reunite with his estranged ... (more)wife, Evelyn, and recapture the Edenic life they once had running Paradise Dogs, the roadside hot-dog restaurant now legendary throughout central Florida. He has a few obstacles along the way. For starters, there’s his impending marriage to Lily. There’s also the matter of a quarter million dollars’ worth of diamonds that he mislaid, along with what appears to be a shadowy conspiracy that is buying up land around the Cross-Florida Canal (and which may or may not be a product of Adam’s alcohol-infused imagination). Despite his own troubles---and a brief stay in Chattahoochee---Adam looks to mentor his son, Addison, in the ways of love. Awkward, unsure, and employed as the world’s least accurate obituary writer, Addison pines for a beautiful and painfully earnest linguistic student but must compete for her attention with his older and more sophisticated half brother from Evelyn’s first marriage. But if anybody can set these worlds in order, it is Adam, who has an uncanny knack for being in the right place at the right time and allowing others to believe he’s someone he’s not. Whether it’s delivering a baby, rescuing a marriage, or exposing a Communist conspiracy, our protagonist is up for the job. Paradise Dogs, from Georgia Author of the Year Award winner Man Martin, is a farcical tale of paradise lost, the American Dream, and the true measures of love.
