-WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley offered strong praise for Paul O'Brien's new book Blood Red Turns Dollar Green Vol. 2. "Paul O'Brien has done it again!" Foley wrote. "But this time, he's done it even better. With sharply drawn characters that any wrestling fan will feel like they know, and non-fans will wish they did, O'Brien's second journey into the world of 1970's territorial wrestling depends less on wrestling action, and more on the surreal scenarios that his cast of wrestling misfits - noble and seedy, loyal and cut-throat, confident and desperate - provide him. Give it a try, and see if the name Shane "Sugarstick" Montrose doesn't stay with you for a while. A must-read for any wrestling fan, and a should-read for any adventurous fan of crime-fiction."

Blood Red Turns Dollar Green Vol. 2 was released on April 26th 2013. It is the sequel to the critically acclaimed #1 bestselling wrestling novel, Blood Red Turns Dollar Green. Both books are crime-fiction novels set in the old wrestling territory days. To order the book via digital or paperback, visit Amazon.com/dp/B00CF5O9J6.
