A DYSTOPIAN STORY OF A BOY GROWING UP IN A RUINED CITYtion.

 People say this is my finest novel. (I like them all...) It's a dystopian,  coming-of-age,  'road' story about a kid in a giant ruined city. There was some other crap written here upon the advice of the AI guy, but I deleted that. A pretty good story...

COVER WIPPORWILL 3 _edited.jpg

(I painted the cover.) This is a more or less true tale about.., one perfect  summer..; before the internet,  before cell phones before about any damned thing that we can't live without today.  Like it says 'love, lust and fly fishing',  what the hell more do you need? It's a novel written in the great tradition of Norman Maclean and Jack Kerouac.

A CLASSIC NOVEL! 

ACME COVER FROM AMAZON.jpg

​I was an absolute science freak as a kid. I still love it.  So I was driving down a street one day in NM listening to a space science show. A roaring truck  pulled up next to me. I looked to my right and there, perfectly framed in the window,  was the word 'Towing". So, not being as dense as I look, I went home and wrote 'Acme Deep Space Towing'. It eventually became this Novella. The AI guy said it was Space Opera. I don't know what that is... 

                                   Plus..! Chapter One of the sequel novel Gatehouse Five. 

YOU WILL LOVE IT!

If Bukowski had written Least Heat Moon's 'Blue Highway', it would be this book.  (Just the funny, satirical MAGA poems written off-hand in the middle as a break are worth the price of admission.) But the Buk didn't.., I did, 186-pages Prose and Poetry about rattling around the highways of the North American continent.

GOTHIC MIDWEST COVER PIC.jpg

Tell me..., tell me..., do you like things..., a little..,  strange...., a little.., creepy..., hmm? I do... These off kilter stories are Gothic Midwest, from the dark corners of my little mind, to explore the Urban Dread of an unstable world—strange, humorous, and occasionally brutal tales... Nothing too awful.. Ha Ha Ha.

I  was broke, and broken, if you get that. All I had left was some swampy land on a lake in Northern Minnesota. This funny and honest novel/ memoir  
chronicles a year long struggle to build a home.

Couple of years later.. Some cheap swampy land, 4000 $ or so worth of logs..., a lot of bruises, aching muscles,  exhaustion,  and this was the result... That's the author looking like a tall skinny hobbit.... 

MORT AND BLACKIE COVER.jpg

​   Ok, it's time to be honest.. I LOVE Janet  Evanovich's funny books..  I was also a BIG fan of Ray Chandler and the other hard crime guy books.. But I didn't want to do a hard crime book.... Everybody was there. So.., while sitting in the back of a truck camper somewhere in the south one winter, in a month I  wrote the first Mort and Blackie. Mortie and Blackie  aren't 'hard-boiled'. If you like funny mysteries, you'll like it.

GROWING UP WILD COVER 51lKq4445DL._UX290_.jpg

 Glen Frey of the Eagles once said 'Everyone has a small town in their background ...' (Or something to that effect...) These powerful funny short stories tell of a poverty-stricken, and often hilarious childhood growing up in small town Minnesota. To paraphrase Fitzgerald.., these stories were written with a light touch, but  they were not written lightly.  

          YOU'LL LOVE THESE SHORT STORIES....  CLICK AND TAKE A LOOK.. !

If you love small-town American humor mixed with raw, authentic coming-of-age stories, grab Growing Up Wild today and start reading!

I grew up in this subject. (No I don't consider myself Native American..)  I thought 'what the hell, I'll just write a book about it'. I'm a writer guy... How hard can it be? Hard. I wrote eight different versions of this book..  And then some years ago some friends got me to go on a walk from St. Peter MN to Fort Ridgely... I ended up with aching legs, two lost friends, and this  this narrative history.
