Marty Mulvane is a small-town boy with dreams of a literary career and a lust for bigger things... and also women. New York of the 1970s seems just the place to fulfill all of his desires, but Manhattan women and big-tme publishing both take him down paths he never expected. When opportunity presents itself, what can he do but... Grab It!? ABOUT THE AUTHORS: Trenton, New Jersey native Sol Weinstein once wallowed in total obscurity. Then in the 1960's, that turbulent decade of sit-ins, sexuality and spies, he crashed into print via Playboy and Simon & Schuster editions of his four novels (Loxfinger, Matzohball, On the Secret Service of His Majesty the Queen, and You Only Live Until You Die) starring Hebrew Secret Agent Israel Bond (code name Oy-Oy-7) he achieved a giddy new status - semi-unknown.Before his segue into show biz writing, Howard Albrecht put in twenty years with the family business, Albrecht's, with stores in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan and throughout the Connecticut and New Jersey area. After years of buying, selling and handling women's clothing with and without them in it, he asked himself the big question, "There must be something else." There was. Using his skills of jokery he was hired to become a writer on The Jonathan Winters Show and with that as a springboard just kept going from there. The two writers joined forces in 1971 having met through computer dating, Weinstein telling the machine he was Gina Lollobrigida, and Albrecht believing him, like the impetuous fool that he is. Turning their sights on TV (because it's no use looking at a radio), this award-winning duo wrote for many of the biggest comedy names (Bob Hope, Alan King, Bob Newhart) and most popular TV shows of the era (everything from Maude to the Dean Martin Roasts to Love Boat to Voltron: Defender of the Universe.) They won a Writers Guild of America award for the TV special Alan King's Energy Crisis. Together they produced four popular parody novels: Jonathan Segal Chicken, The Oddfather, The Exerciser, and Oh, Henry!Howard followed this with several screenplays and 15 years of joke writing with Sheldon Keller for their publication Funny Stuff from the Gags Gang, which they sold around the country and throughout the English speaking world. His memoir, See You In Nairobi: Adventures In The Laugh Trade, is available at finer Amazons everywhere. Sol's sol-o work beyond the Oy-Oy-7 material includes the book Everything You Never Wanted To Know About Sex (But I'm Going to Tell You Anyway) and the song "The Curtain Falls," made popular by Bobby Darin.Sol shuffled off this mortal coil in November, 2012. Howard has his own exit scheduled for May, 2073, if nothing more important comes up.
