New York hitman/playboy Johnny Pacelli’s celebrity is becoming a problem. So when a million bucks stolen from an espresso machine results in an attempt on his father’s—the don’s—life, it delivers the perfect way to get Johnny out of town and off the society page radar: send him to Nashville, where the escaped assailants are holed up. After Johnny is ID’d in Music City for attempted murder, his travel partner, Phillie Canicattì, hatches a scheme to save them both, a scheme that can’t possibly work … the golden throated Johnny can go on the lam disguised as a country singer.
Success was the last thing they expected.
With its cast of quirky New York gangsters and off-beat Nashville players, #1 With a Bullet takes readers on a gonzo journey thick with laughs, outrageous situations and surreal interplay that opens the fourth wall of the book itself.
Eighty percent of modern, middle-aged men are having what is known as a midlife crisis. These men represent the highest concentration of wealth, the longest terms of unemployment and (drum roll please) the highest rate of suicide.

Eighty percent of modern, middle-aged men are having what is known as a midlife crisis. These men represent the highest concentration of wealth, the longest terms of unemployment and (drum roll please) the highest rate of suicide. They also represent over four million inappropriate gold stud earrings, seventeen billion individual hair transplants and eight thousand miles of hairy muffin top. These are the MIDMEN.
MIDMEN is more than just an informative self help book for a growing, if rapidly balding, generation. It's a frank - okay downright rude - collection of facts, quizzes and anecdotes that offers readers a way to identify what really matters in life and get it scheduled in.
MIDMEN keeps its readers laughing as it spoon-feeds them genuine survival information. Covering areas as diverse as health, finance, family and death, MIDMEN hilariously reinforces its reader's sense of well being as they face life's second half.
Steve Ochs (pronounced Oaks), then working as Steve O. (pronounced Oh!), rode the standup comedy wave of the 80’s and 90’s, touring clubs and making numerous television appearances. His bookings were bolstered by a couple of Star Search wins, one of which led to a re-match on a Howard Stern pay-per-view special. The highpoint of his standup career was having his idol Richard Pryor call him, “One funny motherfucker."
After switching careers to writing, Steve penned dozens of episodes of the multiple Emmy winning series Rugrats, Steven Spielberg presents Toonsylvania and many more.
#1 With a Bullet is Steve's fourth book after Why Everyone Hates You (Pinnacle Books), National Lampoon's Jokes, Jokes, Joke: Collegiate Edition, National Lampoon's Jokes, Jokes, Jokes: Verbal Abuse Edition and MIDMEN: The Modern Man's Guide to Surviving Midlife Crisis.
During his two-decade stretch as partner in HERO Entertainment Marketing, a top tier Hollywood product placement agency, he kept his creative muscles flexed with various projects such as the elaborate short film Le Petomane: Parti Avec le Vent and a critically acclaimed one-man show that inspired the book MIDMEN: The Modern Man's Guide to Surviving Midlife Crisis.
Steve lives between Los Angeles, California and Portland, Oregon, with his wife, Julie.
