Can we start casting the film for you? Maybe Jeff Bridges is Jonny's friend (I can't remember his name now - Booker?)
Lol, yes! We made a few suggestions a few pages back I think...there were some doozies...I cant believe I forgot Jeff Bridges! He would be perfect for Booker.
Oh and that reminds me, I forgot to post a picture I stumbled upon that reminded me of "The Bomb."
Well, As you all might know from my lack of posting, between my job and new baby, time is getting the best of me. The next novle is mostly written. Im near the end, but its going to require a ton of editing. hopefully next summer release!
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

(from his facebook page) My second novel, An Awful Paradise, comes out in one week! 8.14.18“High up in the treetops, the Lovely Lady was nonchalantly leaning
against an adjacent tree, below Isaac’s balcony about fifty feet down.
She leaned over the rail and spit over the side – watching as the loogie
hovered for a moment before it began its descent. She looked up again
and gave an unsure half wave and a slight smile. Then she proceeded to
abruptly, yet gracefully, to step off the wood plank and dropped
like a bag of bricks toward the mist below. Without hesitation, Isaac
followed her down. The trees were so tall that Isaac had no idea how
much time they had before the ground came – time often plays tricks on a
person during a free fall from these heights. Moments had passed
feeling like an eternity. He guessed they were half way to the bottom.
The air had not begun to burn his lungs or skin as he had expected. He
was catching up to her...”
This entire story takes place in the time it takes Isaac to fall from
the top of a two-thousand foot tree – with flashbacks to 1674,
back-stories of characters that help Isaac along the way, and escapades
of spirits that have been wronged by the keepers of time – Isaac hits
the ground with force, setting off a chain of events that defy laws of
nature and bring a new species of people face to face with humans. As
Isaac sneaks from city to city, he hunts for tidbits of information
regarding a mysterious and powerful Aumakuan named Thornlo who is
rumored to be a prisoner somewhere on Earth. Isaac will stop at nothing
to find Thornlo and discover the history of the relationship between
Aumakua and Earth.
Thanks for sharing it here, Dave! Ive been meaning to share it here too, but just been so busy with work and kid and all.
A lot of friends here on the PJ boards read my first book, Jonny Bails Floatin, and tended to enjoy it, but this new book is quite different from the last. Its kinda like the difference between Vitalogy and No Code. haha!
thanks F Me! Like I said, this new one is very different. But the next book I'm currently working on (my third novel-- who knows when it'll be out) is very similar in style to Jonny Bails. The working title is ?The Adventures of Sturgill Sharkfucker. I'm going to have to change that title I assume haha..
