    About this ebook

    A New Yorker goes on blind dates with two women and is lost in a tangle of Mafia, Federal agents, violence, sex, betrayal, and murder. Exactly what you'd expect from a book about blind dating and the Mafia.

    Peter Galligan doesn't know a thing about women -- his ex-wife says so. But one day, he lucks into two blind dates. Each of the women is beautiful. But each seems to be hiding something. Before Pete knows what is happening, he's running for his life. Running from Mafia thugs who could break him in two; running from Federal agents who seem to want to lock him up forever. Both sides want something from him, but he hasn't a clue what that something is.

    And the two blind dates? Pete suspects that if he doesn't figure out what they're hiding, he'll be dead before too long . . .

      “Wait here,” the guard said as he shut the door behind him, leaving me by myself. The floor inside the lab was polished, and the air smelled of disinfectant, and yet the room felt unclean. Leaves shook on a tree outside the window, making shadows on

      The Failure Artist: Writing Bullshit, Getting Rejected, and Keeping at It

      Aug 7, 2018

      A few years ago, in a moment of white-hot inspiration, I wrote the climactic scene of a book I had only half finished. The novel is a love story, and at that point, one of the few things I knew about how it would end was that one of the characters wo

      I first saw Karolina outside the Sumesa on the corner of Avenidas Oaxaca and Álvaro Obregón. She was smoking a stubby cigarette, a sled-like backpack hitched to her shoulders. I stopped short, felt my heart lurch. Could it be? Karolina was my brother

      Okay, to be honest, it's my book so I love it. But if you're looking for an entertaining read, something to keep you going on an airplane or relaxing by the beach or poolside, this is the book for you. One of the 5-star reviews I received on Amazon said: "I couldn't put it down. From sex to murder and exciting chases, it had it all. I'm looking forward to the next Geoff Loftus novel." How's that for a short and sweet review?
