    The Adventures Of Lee And Bucky Series

    About this series

    Auto mechanic Lee Singer considers New York City her personal playground, with lots of big engines and complicated tools and today a car that got towed in because those "severe tire damage" signs mean what they say. It only adds to the fun when she pops the trunk and finds it full of styrofoam heads. 

    It turns out the client isn’t a madman with a decapitation fetish. Instead he’s a marine roboticist, and if you send foam objects down to the ocean floor, they shrink under the pressure. Wait, he builds robots? And he’s hot? This requires definitive action. 

    A little verbal sparring ensures that not only is he going to take Lee to dinner, but if their date goes well he might just show her his hydraulic manipulator arm. (That’s not a euphemism, by the way. His team actually has a submarine in a warehouse near the West Side Highway.) 

    This Lee and Bucky novelette takes place about four months before the first full-length novel, so whether you’re new to the series or just teetering on the edge of a great fiction discovery, you’ll have a great time. 

    Jane Lebak is a novelist and humor writer who pays someone else to change her oil and has never made a shrunken head. This story is also included in the anthology Where The Light May Lead.

      29-year-old Lee has a Park Slope apartment with easy access to Manhattan, loves her job as an auto mechanic, and can see her guardian angel (a wisecracker with a fascination for the Rumours album.) That's kind of a full life for a kid in the world's biggest playground. Despite what everyone thinks, she doesn't need, or want, a romantic relationship. Far more comfortable in blue jeans and flannel than in heels and satin, Lee finds herself lying to every man she dates. To the physical trainer, she's a preschool teacher; to the guy at the bowling alley, she's a secretary. The lies keep romance at arm's length even as they drive the angel to distraction until the day she realizes she's fallen for a straight-laced accountant who's exploring his dark side through bizarre foods (please note: sea cucumber is not a vegetable). But now he thinks she's someone she's not. Now she's got to turn those mechanic skills on herself to diagnose and repair the most important relationships in her life. And just think, she used to find it tough repairing a transmission! Long-time comedy writer and novelist Jane Lebak serves up a hilarious comedy with angels and spare tires and a recipe for the best omelets you've ever tasted. Also what may be the most romantic toilet-fixing scene in the English language. But there really isn't an award for that, so we'll never know.

      "You know how one year is seven dog years? Well five months dating Lee is the equivalent of three years dating a normal woman." Lee and Bucky are back, but you know it's never that easy. Six months later, Hal's still around and Lee's mother is already picking out bridesmaid dresses. Auto-mechanic and Angel-phile Lee could live with those gourmet brownies dense enough to form their own gravity well, but she's not so sure about that "forever" part. After all, when you get married, you're supposed to do the unthinkable and say no when that hot guy says you and your restored 1965 Mustang look hot. Think of all the fun she'd miss. And living in New York, it's kind of a crime not to live it up. But living without Hal — all of a sudden that doesn't sound like a lot of fun either. In the much-anticipated follow-up to Honest And For True, longtime humor writer Jane Lebak crafts a story about tradeoffs and trade-ins as well as junk shops deep in the heart of Brooklyn and the occasional gourmet stuffed mushrooms.
