Brass Knuckles & Tattered Wings by Martin Svolgart Cover Reveal!

Hello! Today, thanks to Storytellers On Tour, I am taking part in the cover reveal for a collection of four novellas named Brass Knuckles & Tattered Wings with the first one Best Foot Forward expecting to be released in summer 2020 and each new episode will follow every month! 

This serial is written like a TV series—four novellas of 25,000 words, each with their own little story line yet all substantiating a bigger underlying story arc and character development.

Here are the covers!

Best Foot Forward #1 blurb

After a freak accident kills his wife and son, Pritchard slips into alcoholism at a blue-collar bar nearby to avoid the dead and empty house.

A teenage girl sometimes comes into the bar to try to get her drunkard dad to come home, but it rarely works. One day, in his intoxicated state, Pritchard accidentally trips over her scooter, and something breaks. He promises the distraught girl to pay for it, but she’s used to being lied to by drunk men. To follow through, he gives her his business card.

A few days later, she calls him out of the blue, afraid, begging for his help. Her dad has run into a card game with bad people, and the debt collectors aren’t stopping with him.

The selfless act of responding to the young girl’s plea upends his world, leaving him only one way out: A walk in life he knows well, but one he left for his wife. A life of crime.

Best foot forward, she’d always said. That was how she urged a man with a spotted past to strive to become a good man.

The only question now is whether going backward can also bring someone forward.

Brass Knuckles & Tattered Wings is an action-packed story that also holds a lot of humor, pokes at emotions, and looks at a new kind of vigilante hero with his heart in the right place. 

This series is perfect for readers of The Equalizer, The Punisher, and Boondock Saints and will keep you hooked until the very end!

About the Author

Martin Svolgart is 40 years old, a single dad, companion to the Rottweiler Heimdal, nature lover, amateur photographer, coffee lover, and a geek!

What fascinates Martin Svolgart the most about writing is the possibility to look into the minds of the characters during the various situations they’re put in. 

In his books, you get a look into the fundamentals of a person.

What can bring out the worst in a person? What can bring out the best?

The human eye can detect 256 shades of gray. The answer to what is good and what is evil has to be explored in the balance between those extremes of individualism. Thus, his protagonists are never just good, and the antagonists are never just evil. They can even admit to themselves that they’re fucked up.

Martin Svolgart’s books thus explore what balances pull them toward being one or the other, or what can push them to change, grow, and evolve. 

One thing is for sure: No matter which of his books you pick up, you’ll never find good versus evil in any clear-cut black/white fashion, and you will always find action.

Martin Svolgart is a smith by trade, but he went back to college to study some more. Psychology, among other subjects.
