    About this ebook

    Les Kingsley is sixteen, skinny and scared. He spends his days trying to get through life while dodging bullies at work, school and home. Even his mother's boyfriend, enjoys putting Les down. When he helps a seemingly helpless hospital patient he gains a mentor, ex-con Matt Selo, who teaches Les about strength, the street, money and the science of self defense. But, the school and street bullies are not about to pass up on a favorite victim. And people from both sides of the law want Selo, including, the boyfriend of Les' mother.

      The Duplex

      Jun 9, 2020

      I moved to Los Angeles to sing. When was this? August? June? I was twenty-nine, and those were shapeless months, when the days blended together and I refused to pull them apart. My landlord was unusually close to her adult son. His name was Jeffrey,

      On Monday nights our mother made popcorn and served it to us in mugs with milk poured over. My younger sister and I carried our mugs into the family room and ate the popcorn with spoons, like cereal. We were five and seven. Until we were allowed to s

      What’s worth happening happens in deep woods. Or so my daughter tells me. Her plotlines: In the deep woods someone is chasing, someone else is getting hacked. Hatchets are lifted, brought downdowndown. Men stutter blood onto snow. A cast of animals—s

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
