November 9, 2009 (FPRC) -- (Los Angeles) 'The Guys Who Spied for China,' by Gordon Basichis has just been posted on Kindle, Amazon's EBook publishing arm. 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. This is the company's first effort. The book was also released as a trade paperback and is available through Amazon, Baker and Taylor and is available in bookstores around the country.
'We are very excited about the publication of 'The Guys Who Spied for China,' said M.J. Hammond, publisher and president of Minstrel's Alley. We are excited to see the book listed on Kindle as 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. The novel should draw not only from spy freaks but from a wider, more literary readership as well.
'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.'
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.
