    About this ebook

    Zeke belongs to an older New York, a time when a man could find his way with his wits, his hands, and guts. Addiction, heartbreak and the darkness that finds them on the Lower East Side and in an old-school go-go bar stalks their every move as they do everything they can to stay together and make it out of a squat on the Lower East Side, and on to a better life that all three hope is still out there.

    The novel opens in Brooklyn, and moves through a squat on the Lower East side to an area now known as NoLita. Zeke, his girlfriend and his best friend struggle to stay ahead of their addictions, complications and an increasingly gentrified world. Zeke keeps one foot firmly grounded in his Bronx upbringing, but finds that the world is not what he hopes it to be, and that even his girlfriend and his shapely best friend don't understand his worldview, and are doing some very alarming things to survive.

    Mark French

    Mark French grew up in a small, dusty West Texas village, and lived in NYC for well over a decade. He found that you find what you look for in New York City, and has done some rather alarming things to survive. He's lived a Forrest Gump life, living through the internet boom working on a trading floor on Wall Street, and was across the street from World Trade Center One during the attacks of 9/11. Mark is now a fifty-something dad living and working in Oklahoma City, separated only by distance from his three wonderful children. He is divorced, and has discovered only through adversity that God is really big and has blessed him far, far more than he deserves.

      Let’s Say

      I magine a sticky, early August morning, around three o’clock. It is dark, the moon blocked by clouds, no streetlights, a siren in the distance, medics running to a heart attack. Imagine a man out on a bike or walking a sick dog, or maybe a woman who
