Author Richard Palombi has released his third book, 'Big Son N' Little Son'. In this book Palombi offers a wildly entertaining look at growing up in Texas
Author Richard Palombi has released his new book, 'Big Son N' Little Son', The book serves as a follow up to his first two novels, 'Open The Door Richard' and 'The Geronimo Corndogs'.
Big Son ‘n Little Son is a humorous tale of two farm boy cousins growing up in Texas. Half the size, but oh-so-much smarter than his mammoth cousin, the pintsized Big Son narrates the story. The dimwitted Little Son is a giant square peg in a world of round holes. The better part of the county passes him up in school while he languishes in sixth grade. Saddled with an evil little sister and a tool ban for “bendin’ all his Daddy’s hammers out of shape,” it isn’t long before his day of infamy on Grandpa Jack’s farm costs him his tractor privileges. Of course, when one of your only two friends starts wearing an executioner’s mask to keep folks from recognizing him, you pretty much know the cards are stacked against you.
"I wrote this third book," stated Mr. Palombi, "as sort of a modern-day salute to Tom Sawyer, with a dose of The Beverly Hillbillies for added flavor."
In a recent review, Donetta Garman of Allbooks Reviews said, 'Author Richard Palombi has done it again! In his newest release, Big Son ‘n Little Son, Palombi uses his storytelling skills and sense of humor to weave an entertaining tale. . . . I recommend Big Son ‘n Little Son as a great way to escape reality and to put a little humor in your life.'

Author Richard Palombi Releases His Hilarious Third Book, 'Big Son N' Little Son'
Tuesday, December 15, 2009
Author Richard Palombi To Appear On The Authors Show Radio And Release His Second Book, The Geronimo Corndogs
Author Richard Palombi will appear on The Authors Show Radio on December 18, 2009. In his newest release, The Geronimo Corndogs, Palombi offers a hilarious look at three friends who meet John Dilliinger and find themselves on the wrong side of the law
Author Richard Palombi has released his new book, The Geronimo Corndogs, a hilarious look at the adventures of three friends who fall in with John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, Pretty Boy Floyd and Billie Frechette. The book serves as a follow up to his first novel, Open The Door Richard.
The Geronimo Corndogs turns the world of gangsters and criminal icons on its head. When the fourth member of their bowling team turns out to be gangster John Dillinger, three lifelong friends find themselves on the wrong side of the law. Dubbed The Geronimo Corndogs by the press, each is assigned a mentor-in-crime from Dillinger’s gang: John Luther becomes the reluctant ward of Babyface Nelson and his over-protective wife, Helen Gillis. Reynaldo’s tutor, Pretty Boy Floyd, is forever getting the two of them lost on one ill-advised shortcut or another while reminiscing about growing up in the Cookson Hills, “the paste capital of the world.” Demoted to dog care duties for Dillinger’s gun moll, Billie Frechette, the bumbling Augustus soon finds himself reviled as a pet felon and the subject of a nationwide manhunt. Having Melvin Purvis and the F.B.I. hot on their trail was bad enough, but when PETSA and its legions of animal rights activists join in the hunt, the chase is on for real.
Mr Palombi was recently interviewed on The Authors Show Radio program. The program will run on December 18, 2009. In this interview he discusses his comedic writing style. He also talks about his past life as a joke and monologue writer, his street ministry for at-risk teens in Houston, Texas and his involvement in prison ministries.
