Armadillos in the glossy pages

People magazine (January 11, 2010) pins three and one-half stars (out of 4) on James Hime's newest novel!

"When Sylvester Bradshaw, the ornery cuss who serves the best fried catfish in all of Texas, goes missing (along with his invention, a food de-toxifier) in the midst of an E. coli outbreak, it seems every eccentric in town is a suspect. With the local sheriff sidelined by rumors about his amourous inadequacies, it is left to the rueful retired Ranger Jeremiah Spur to sort the truly evil from the hilariously greedy. But the true star of this hoot in hardcover is author Hime and his mastery of Texas colloquialisms As the whodunit's pages rapidly turn, readers will savor every 'Do what now?'"

Celebrate Thanksgiving with armadillos

It's pub day for James Hime's newest book WHERE ARMADILLOS GO TO DIE, which has already received great reviews!

"Hime nicely blends broad humor and sharp characterizations" - Publisher's Weekly

"[The] lively, unconventional characters and authorial brio (Scared Money, 2004, etc.) guarantee a few hours of blissful escapism." - Kirkus

"Character—and sleepy Brenham is full of them—is one good reason to applaud author Hime. Another is his fine portrayal of the sensibilities and rhythms of small-town Texas...Hime also has a fine ear for the colorful turns of phrase and metaphors of Texas and the small-town South...crime fans will find the tale terrific entertainment." - Booklist
