I often say that one of the great things about doing over
550 shows is that you are always learning new things, and during my show with Michael
Hebler I learnt yet another new thing.
Michael Hebler has followed a career more in film and
publicity using this knowledge to create several novels.
His first was “The Night After Christmas” a wonderful follow-up
to the classic “Night Before Christmas”. The book is the delightful tale of
what happens the night after Christmas. Haven’t you ever wondered what happens
to Santa, Rudolph and all the other reindeer after their busy night of
spreading joy around the world?
Michael's ability to
tap into the young child in all of us is delightful and refreshing. The
illustrations whisk you away to a magical fairyland of yesteryear. I look
forward to reading more from this talented author.
After this early success Michael has set about creating a
series of books based on the “Chupacabra” which I had to learn about. For those
like myself that it rings a vague bell with it’s sort of a Latin American bogie
man, that first appeared in the 1990’s.
It is a creature that lurks in the vast
open deserts of the west. It can only survive on blood and, although it prefers
to prey on the weak and young, it will slaughter anyone or anything, once
provoked. It is unnatural, deceptive, and difficult to kill. Word about the
existence of this elusive beast has not spread since anyone who has crossed
paths with it did not live long enough to tell of their account.
"Hunt for the Chupacabra" which is a short story
that precludes Book One of the Chupacabra Series, "Night of the
Chupacabra".
“Night of the Chupacabra” is one man’s journey to reunite
with his missing family, while the lethal creature that separated them, the
mysterious and ravenous chupacabra, is never far behind. Night of the Chupacabra
is not only a gruesome regale of carnage, but a unique combination of science
fiction bloodshed with a more poignant tale of lost love set against a Western
backdrop.
With already several more in the series underway I am sure
we’ll hear a lot more of Michael Hebler and the “Chupacabra”.
