An Underhanded Tour of the New West: 8/30/20 to 10/21/20

At 325 pages and 51,839 words, what I hope to be my last journal book is complete. It’s fiction and history for me now

Dust Cover

When a man leaves what he loves, what he hates and goes on the road as an escape, in an attempt to sell his tainted soul, he is gifted with low visions of life. And when it transpires that however many times he tries to sell his soul, it is refunded as the lease-holder’s interest expires, he is left weirdly and never alone. This is one depleted person’s urban eastern view of Utah, Wyoming, Nevada, Idaho, California, Oregon as he wends his crooked way further from the place of his birth and that sorry day.
