A delightful coming-of-age story about of an orphan, rescued by a kindly woman, who finds his way in life working for his hometown mob boss then political operative. He hitches his star to a seasoned political candidate; with an older and more experienced lover on the road and his sweet young girlfriend Leshia safely back home he's got it made, a promising future fixing problems and elections beckoning.
One day in a strange town he sees too much and crosses a couple red lines and suddenly learns his likeable personality and quick wit aren't always enough to keep him on the 'inside'. Abruptly abandoned by his associates in a strange town and pursued by his powerful and angry ex-lover he steals a vehicle and flees to the desert with his girlfriend. When the vehicle breaks down in the middle of nowhere they look at each other and despair. Terrified, lost and broke, whatever plans they had for their future together blow away like desert dust.
An unexpected savior finds them and explains the game Jaf was playing and how he lost.

Durary may not be safe, but it's the only place they can think of to hide out.
Can Jaf Daskal wriggle free from the mess he made? And what will it mean for his lover and their futures?
This begins the backstory for Jaf Daskal's adventures which properly begin with 'The Caliuga Set-Up'.
'Schooled! Follows immediately after 'Star-Cross'd and Steam-Punk'd'.

Autorenporträt

Here's a thought -- you've come to the page of a fiction writer, and now you want to read about him, right? Why would you expect him to tell the truth? You realize that each of us is his own creation, and the parts we choose to reveal are crafted to make us seem kind, powerful, brilliant, victimized .... Why should I be exempt?
With that preface, I'll note my background is neither extraordinary, nor is my history notable. (This is a stark contrast with my collaborator, Lindsay Petersen, who lives in a fascinating world indeed.)
What I will tell -- I spent decades running a plumbing business in Southern California. I sold it in 2007, and since have found many trades and professions in which I've been unemployed. (The photo above is from a stint as a background actor for a Dodge Brothers commercial). I wasted this spare time writing novels, mostly -- also a screenplay (this is Hollywood, after all), a musical play with talking animals, and some short stories. Any day now, overnight fame will find me.
Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up.
