Country duo BROOKS + DUNN have added author to their resumes after writing a comic crime novel.
The pair - real names Ronnie Dunn and Kix Brooks - will release their first novel, entitled The Adventures of Slim and Howdy, next month (12May08).
The My Maria hitmakers enlisted the help of southern humourist Bill Fitzhugh to help them come up with character ideas - but ended up basing them on their own wacky stage alter-egos Slim (Dunn) and Howdy (Brooks).
Brooks insists they both wanted the novel to be more in the vein of "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid than The Dukes of Hazzard".
He says, "(We wanted it to be not) too heavy, but at the same time (with) a good sense of humour."
