Advance Praise

"I had a lot of fun with Jimmy Dean’s Last Dance. It is a thoroughly unconventional alternate history novel, and one of the very few published examples of pop culture alternate history. It is a surprising treat, and a novel that many writers in the genre could learn from." ~ Alexander Wallace Sea Lion Press


Jimmy Dean’s Last Dance presents a fascinating spin on such a well-documented snapshot of American, and world, history. It deals with two major events, both surrounded by the mists of suspicion and conspiracy, something that Alliss pounces on. He wrangles these conspiracies into a compelling story. The characters are flawed, real and at times relatable. They exude raw emotion in every interaction, reaction and action they take. All of this makes for a pacey, dark novel spotted with gallows humour that makes for a compelling, thoroughly enjoyable read ~ Steven, Goodreads reviewer
