When Nick Pirog released ‘3 a.m.’, he didn’t expect to amass 250,000 readers, 1100 4.5-star reviews and hundreds hailing it the best book they ever bought – all in twelve months. But it’s easy to see why; protagonist Henry Bins has the most unfortunate of afflictions and, as the world of fiction dictates, is pushed into solving a murder that could have been orchestrated by the President of the United States. With fans chomping at the bit for more, Pirog is now delighted to announce the December 20th release of volume three, titled ‘3:21 a.m.’.

Encinitas, CA -- (SBWire) -- 12/15/2014 --With the stresses and strains of modern life, most find it impossible to fit their work and chores into the sixteen-or-so hours they are awake. But imagine a sleep disorder that sees you awake only between 3:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. each morning, and having to use that time solving murders you never intended to get embroiled in. That's the premise of Nick Pirog's globally-acclaimed 'Henry Bins' book series –which have ironically provided hundreds of hours of entertainment for 250,000+ fans.

Henry Bins first hit the scene in October of 2013 with '3 a.m.', teasing potential readers with its enigmatic synopsis:

Henry Bins has Henry Bins.
A sleeping disorder, named after him.
He is awake for one hour a day.
He wakes up at 3 a.m. then falls asleep at 4 a.m.
Life is simple.
Until he hears the woman scream.
And sees the man leave the house across the street.
But not just any man.
The President of the United States.

The book became an instant hit, with the unusual format and Bins' quirks turning him into something of an underdog hero. One Amazon customer wrote, "Best book series ever, just love 3 a.m.! I love every one of Nick Pirog's books, but if I had to choose one series to take with me to that desert island in the middle of nowhere, this would be it…"

Karen Mosty adds, "What I wouldn't give to spend an hour with Henry Bins. Or 5 minutes. This book is fast-paced, crazy funny, and just plain good. I love Henry."

Helen Harrington found Bins' daily hour of opportunity to be compelling. She comments, "The first book of its kind I've read and it was very interesting working within the framework of 1 hour's time. 1 hour a time being awake each day/night. Think about it. What would you do with your hour? Well, you could get involved in a murder discovery. Remember, though, you only have 1 hour awake to accomplish anything - to include eating, reading, computer time, etc. Some surprises in here, too, that I'm not bringing up."

Bins has packed plenty in since he first heard those screams from across the street. In fact, Pirog has just completed volume three, aptly titled '3:21 a.m.':

Henry Bins has traveled 3000 miles.
To see the sun.
June 21st.
Fairbanks, Alaska.
Sunrise is 3:07 a.m.
Fourteen minutes later.
800 people will be dead.

"This will be my ninth novel," explains the author. "I'm currently living every authors' dream; I started writing for myself, but am now at the point where I receive a flood of emails each day begging me to get the next volume out. I've come a long way since first putting pen to paper in my early twenties, and having actual demand from readers is a privilege I'll be eternally grateful for."

Continuing, "I agree, there's nobody else like dear Henry out there. I hope he's not real, because it's one heck of a tough life!"

'3:21 a.m.' is due for release on Midnight of December 20th, available from all retailers.
