Long Island Writer Gets New Voice From
Local Audio Publisher
SueMedia Productions, of Hempstead, NY, will begin releasing Tom Philbin’s Precinct Siberia novels as audiobooks beginning Wednesday March 30th at Book Revue located at 313 New York Ave. in Huntington, NY at 7:00pm with a reading of selected scenes from the first book in the series.
Originally written and released in 1985, Precinct: Siberia is NYC’s 53rd Precinct, where “the heaviest criminals hang out; where the most hardened cops are sent.”
Detective Joe Lawless: tough, street-smart and ruthless, his battles with the brass have landed him in Siberia. Now he's out to nail a sadistic child-murderer before he
kills again...
Police Officer Barbara Babalino: sent to Siberia for refusing the advances of her boss, she's out to rescue a young hooker. But the girl's pimp knows something that could destroy Barbara's life...
Detective Leo Grady: with five months before retirement and a flask of vodka in his pocket, he thinks he can take it easy. He can forget it.
Nothings easy in PRECINCT: SIBERIA.
A wine and cheese reception and discussion celebrating Tom’s Precinct Siberia series will immediately follow the reading at Book Revue. Downloads will be available through Blackstone Audio. RSVP to SueMedia by Monday, March 28, 2016.
Author Tom Philin, formerly of Centerport, Long Island, NY, was born in the Bronx on February 7, 1934 to an Irish-American family.
Throughout his life, Tom Philbin had a variety of jobs mostly related to the publishing world, however, when he decided to put all of his time into freelance writing. It was a good decision because he went on to author over 40 books including true-crime, non-fiction, crime novels, and home repair books. He has also published many articles for magazines including Reader’s Digest, Family Circle and Woman’s Day. He has appeared on and has written for movies and television shows.
Publisher Sue Zizza, of SueMedia Productions, is delighted to be working with Blackstone Audio to release this book, along with the balance of the series, as audiobook featuring Long Island born narrator P.J. Ochlan (Audie nominee 2016) creating the many characters in the series.P.J. Ochlan's work behind the microphone began in 1987 as a young voiceover talent with many commercials and promos. More recently he spent 10 years as a Southern California radio personality with programs on several stations. And now, in addition to his ongoing voiceover work, he is an acclaimed and record-setting audiobook narrator with dozens of fiction and non-fiction titles to his credit, and winner of the prestigious Earphones Award.
P. J. Ochlan has appeared in such movies as Little Man Tate with Jodie Foster and Little Vegas with Catherine O'Hara. He played Lester Shane in the television show Police Academy: The Series. He also guest-starred in episodes of The Practice and The District.
