Launch Party Held for Bob Udulutch’s “Spot and Smudge” Series

Author Bob Udulutch, who previously worked in technology management for 30 years with Sony and Microsoft, recently held a launch party for his new “Spot and Smudge” book trilogy: Spot and Smudge – Book One; The Glasgow Gray – Book Two; and Let Slip the Pups of War – Book Three, all available in paperback or electronic download at Amazon.com. The party was held late last month at a private venue in Pembroke, with many of Udulutch’s family, friends, and supporters in attendance.

These speculative fiction novels follow a pair of accidentally genetically modified dogs, their family, and the evil entities trying to discover and control their secrets. They are thrillers with elements of horror, espionage, and genetic engineering/medical science fiction mixed in. Although the plotlines are certainly dark and gritty at times, the stories also serve up heart-warming moments and ultimately deliver a “family love triumphs” message…even if that family is far from traditional. The fast-paced and immersive style of these novels in most often compared to works by Stephen King, Tom Clancy, and Dean Koontz. The books contain some adult themes and language, and are intended for a mature audience.

The story starts on a farm in a fictional small town located between Boston and Cape Cod and called “Pembury.” Udulutch says that while the books are fiction, many of the characters and places are taken from real life experiences.

Udulutch wrote all three books before releasing them, but was unsure of how to proceed until he received initial feedback from his first reviewers, who were very positive and encouraged him to self-publish. Throughout his writing process, Udulutch has relied on a team of friends and family – the “Alpha Team” – who have served as editors and reviewers for all three books. Udulutch created the cover art, website, and advertising images, and handled the book formatting.

Early reviewers on Amazon have consistently given him five-star ratings and rave reviews for all three books of the trilogy.

“The launch party offered me a great chance to not only celebrate these three books, but to take time to thank the people that helped me to see that they became reality,” said Udulutch. “I hope people enjoy reading these stories as much as I enjoyed bringing them to life.”

About Bob Udulutch

Bob was born in rural Wisconsin where he grew up reading a lot of books under shady trees in the middle of big fields. His first job as a kid was pumping poo out of RVs at a campground. After several equally humbling and eye-opening gigs he worked his way through school as a bartender and assistant to a one-eyed octogenarian prototyping engineer. He managed to graduate at the top of the Electrical Technologies program at the Herzing Institute in Madison, Wisconsin, after which he was selected as the first student for Sony’s newly created U.S. technical training program based in their flagship Boston operation. He stayed with Sony for 15 amazing years in training and technical management roles, eventually running the Boston operation and working for the Service Company president as his National Best Practices Manager. He then worked for three years with Cambridge Soundworks as their Sr. Service Manager, and then did seven years with Microsoft as a Sr. Global Projects Manager, where he earned the company’s Gold Star award for his Surface service project.

Bob lives in Pembroke, Massachusetts, with his wife and two amazing daughters, one rescued black mutt, a motorcycle, a Jeep, and far too many tools. Now he writes, travels, tinkers, builds stuff, and sometimes breaks stuff. For more information, please visit www.rudulutch.com.
