Comedy Writer Brett Allen and Sly Fox Hollow
Episode 67, Apr 02, 09:00 AM
Brett Allen is a graduate of Michigan State University and a former U.S. Army Cavalry Officer. He’ written two novels, Kilroy Was Here, and Sly Fox Hollow. He’s a husband and father of two. When not writing, Brett enjoys drumming his forehead against the surface of his desk and cursing softly under his breath.
Sly Fox Hollow
William “Bomber” Merridan is a small-town grocery store manager by day and a cryptid hunter by night. While Bigfoot is sexier, Bomber’s passion is for the legendary Michigan Dogman.
Connie Hayes is Fox Hollow’s first-ever female Sheriff, not to mention the first Native American to hold the powerful position. Now, only months into her new role, she faces no shortage of obstacles from a town used to her patriarchal predecessor.
Normally, these two would mix like oil and water, but when the town mayor is brutally killed, both Connie and Bomber set off to find who or what is behind the slaughter. Not everyone in Fox Hollow sees the mayor’s death as a tragedy, though, and in a rush to fill the mayor’s seat, two polarizing local politicians use fear of the Dogman to stoke tensions and turn the once peaceful community into a cauldron of hostility, distrust, and political tribalism. As Connie hunts the killer and Bomber hunts his weird, regionally-specific werewolf, they uncover the truth of Fox Hollow’s murky past, a century-old curse, and a sinister plot that could leave the town in ruins.
Kilroy was Here
U.S. Army Officer, Lieutenant Jared Rye is a battle-hardened warrior. Or at least he thinks he’d like to be. On Christmas Day, 2008, he arrives at the war with high hopes of battlefield glory and a lasting legacy, only to be relegated to a Squadron desk job. With the help of his Squadron’s “accidental Chaplain”, a local interpreter bent on leaving for America, a perpetually drunk Russian contract pilot, and his fellow staff officers, Rye navigates a yearlong deployment on a rural outpost in Afghanistan. As he seeks to find meaning in the war, Rye faces oddities and mishaps ranging from an inter-Army mafia of lower enlisted soldiers to a crippled, local boy with a penchant for pornographic doodles, a two-faced local militant, and an autocratic Squadron Commander paralyzed by paranoia. Rye’s unlikely friendship with his interpreter becomes the bedrock of his sanity, as he grapples with the reality of America’s “Forever War” and his perceived lackluster war experience. But when a series of roadside bombs cripples a resupply convoy, the soldiers of Titan Squadron look to the highest ranking officer remaining and Rye must put his training to the test to lead an assault against an enemy of unknown strength.
