Slice, Dice and Die

About the Book

Slice, Dice and Die is a sequel to Wyche’s first Novel, Onions Make You Fry and features the same cast of characters, but in different adventures in South Louisiana and Texas wherein Flint Malone finds himself up to his neck in hair-raising events that threaten his life and that of his side kick, Boo Worthy. Flint and Boo again become Gator and Pepper, respectively assuming the personas of reprobate Louisiana alligator trappers as they squelch both a drug ring and the remnants of a satanic cult, also a carry-over from Onions. Within the pages of Slice, Flint finds his soul mate who helps him solve the murders of his business partner, Lila and her husband, Dutch. The intrigue of Flint’s escapades in the Attakapas Basin swamp of South Louisiana as Gator and in Lafayette, Louisiana as British oil tycoon, Harold Wintergarten, is exceeded only by his ardor for his soul mate, Sharon and devotion to his vocation as owner and head chef for his newly built, Gumbo You and his already successful catering business, It Don’t Matter. Flint’s culinary expertise was becoming legendary and yet his plans are constantly interrupted by his allegiance to a group simply called the Task Force, dedicated to the destruction of satanic cults in south Louisiana. Dive into this adventure and romance filled novel and follow the complex character of Flint Malone as he cooks his way through unbelievably dangerous events while at the same time finding the contentment and true love that he hopes will flavor the rest of his life. You won’t be disappointed. I guarantee it!

About the Author

Slice, Dice, and Die is the sequel to the tasty mystery Onions Make You Fry, by the author. James Wyche is a formerly ordained minister and a chef with award-winning gumbo and other recipes. A true Southern gentleman, Jim was born and raised in New Iberia, Louisiana. His characters are based on the colorful neighbors and friends that Jim has known over the years. When he’s not writing, you might find Jim fishing out on the reefs south of Marsh Island. Then it’s back to the kitchen, creating the best yet recipe for the red fish or speckled trout caught that day, using a selection of spices, ranging from Tony Cacheries to Slap Yo Mama to turmeric or cardamom. You also might find Jim cutting up with his best friend from high school, in one of the local eateries, at lunchtime. Any waitress will tell you that Jim is as much rascal as he is saint, and his characters reflect that multifaceted personality. You’ll discover more about Jim’s Cajun recipes in Slice, Dice, and Die. The author lives on Belmont plantation that’s been in his family for generations, in New Iberia, Louisiana. Jim’s passion for cooking began at an early age and his personality is replete with equally creative seasonings of writing and painting (as evidenced by the front cover). His works are filled with memories of his childhood on the plantation and of the vivid characters he has known as he travelled across the United States as a motivational speaker and lecturer in communication techniques. Now semi-retired, much of his life is relived in his novels and short stories. His mantra is: “Life is given to us as a gift meant to be enjoyed one day at a time.”
