Los Angeles, CA, April 27, 2010 --(PR.com)-- “The Guys Who Spied for China,” by Gordon Basichis has just been released on the Apple iPad. The novel is based on his real life experiences uncovering Chinese Espionage Networks operating in the United States in the eighties and nineties.
“The Guys Who Spied for China,” is being published by Minstrel’s Alley, an independent publishing and media group. The book was also released as a trade paperback and Kindle and is available through Amazon, Ingram, Baker and Taylor as well as bookstores around the country.
“We are very excited about seeing “The Guys Who Spied for China released through iPad” said M.J. Hammond, publisher and president of Minstrel’s Alley. The Apple iPad is a breakthrough platform for many applications, including EPublishing. And we believe E-Publishing is the wave of the future.”
“The Guys Who Spied for China,” is our first published offering, so we naturally wish to oversee every stage of our marketing effort. We are pleased that it is now a Quarter Finalist in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Competition.”
“This roman a clef is a most unusual spy book as it breaks the mold for this genre. It tells the story of what it is like to be suddenly thrust into the world of espionage. We believe it should draw not only from spy freaks but from a wider, more literary readership as well. ”
Hammond describes the book as quirky and authentic with touches of dark humor that will engage the reader. “If you are looking for more than the basic mainstream spy book, you are in for a pleasant surprise. This tells a much richer story. This is a timely book, given the ongoing headlines about Chinese Espionage and the growing tensions again between the United States and China.”
Gordon Basichis is the author of two previous books, “The Constant Travellers,” and “Beautiful Bad Girl, The Vicki Morgan Story.” He is the co-founder of Corra Group, a Los Angeles based company that conducts employment background checks and corporate research for companies throughout the United States and around the world.
M.J. Hammond is a former entertainment industry executive who founded Minstrel’s Alley to publish popular books not found in mainstream publishing.
“Mainstream publishing has its purpose,” said Hammond. But the industry’s focus on celebrity and genre based books has left readers wanting. We hope to help bring a sense of adventure back to books and publishing.”
Background: Minstrel’s Alley is a Los Angeles based independent publisher that seeks to bring adventure back into the publishing industry by publishing books that have popular appeal but with more complexity than the standard mainstream fare. The new publishing group distributes its books through Amazon, Kindle, and assorted Internet outlets as well as through bookstores around the country.
