Book Signing For New Skull Book

Local author Bruce Rubin, writing under the pen name Vincenzo Spiaggi, has published his 17th work of fiction, “The Girl in the Pecan Grove,” which is the 15th book in The Johnny Skull Series.


“The Girl in the Pecan Grove” is the sequel to the 2023 novel, “Fulcrum.”


It all began on July 4, 2018, when a nuclear explosion in western Iran killed two nephews of Chairman Ming, the leader of the Chinese Communist Party.


He blamed the Iranians for those deaths.


But the Iranians blamed Israel for the nuclear explosion, and launched a nuclear warhead toward Jerusalem; the Israelis subsequently destroyed that warhead before it reached Israel.


Then, the Chinese embarked on an assassination program against prominent Iranians to avenge the deaths of the Chairman’s nephews.


The Iranians retaliated by beginning an assassination program of notable Chinese citizens.


A book-signing event is scheduled at West Winfield Public Library Wednesday, Sept. 18 at 6:30 p.m.


“The Girl in the Pecan Grove,” a 394-page paperback, is published by URLink Publishing Co. of Cheyenne, Wyoming. It is available by logging on to URLinkpublishing.com.


The book also can be ordered from Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, and other book stores.


Rubin, a New York City native and a graduate of The City University of New York, is a geologist, journalist, fine art photographer, and screenwriter.


He spent most of his adult life in the Western U.S., and began writing fiction in the early 1980s.
