The Adventures of Mark and JayLee: Modern Masters of Ancient Skill
Came out just a couple months ago.
Interesting bit? Martial arts. Hrm. Korean tilt to things. Hrm. There was once a Master in Kuk Sool Won named Jay Lee. Hrm. He used to work for the Houston PD. Hrm. In fact, Marlin Sims (another former Kuk Sool Won Master) did some things there too. You know the infamous “pimp slap” video? That Jay Lee; in fact, in that video around 0:30 you’ll see a tall thin black man standing over the pimp, that’s Marlin Sims (note the Kuk Sool Won logo on the back of his t-shirt). Mark? Marlin? Close enough, especially since apparently Mark is the black guy on the cover. The white guy is JayLee… JayLee, Jay Lee, close enough.
Digging deeper I find: Selrauq Action Books
Even a blog about Korean martial arts.
Someone points out the name of the author. Selrauq is Quarles spelled backwards, as in Victor Quarles, 5th Dan Master in Kuk Sool Won teaching out of the Woodlands, TX.
In fact, their next book is going to be called Kuk Sool Saga.
I’m not sure why the pseudonym, especially if the little bit of sleuthing exposes everything. Nevertheless, it’s an interesting endeavor. I hope it proves successful for him.
