About this ebook
MICK MATTEO is a 30 year old, self-proclaimed bastard who’s just touched down in his hometown of San Francisco after a two-year hiatus abroad. With a rotting gut caused by copious alcohol consumption and a penchant for illicit sex and drugs, Matteo immediately shacks up with the one friend who shares his desire for toxic intake. With hopes of adding a constructive element to his menial existence, he lands a job at at Beenz coffee house; a milieu of pot heads, speed freaks and a Mexican girl he feels might be able to settle him down.
Things are going smoothly for Mick, with Roxanna giving signs she may reciprocate his affections. But when he runs into an old flame at a friend’s party, his game is thrown in a new direction. Misty was the one that got away, and with Mick now in the picture all she wants is for him to sweep her away. All he needs is a job with the Chinese mob and enough money to get her to Mexico.
With a mixture of urban grit and urbane humour, The Barley Pop Bastard is a treatise to one bastard's city by the bay.

Tim McDonald is a novelist and fiction writer born and raised in California. His early childhood was spent in San Francisco before moving across the bridge to Marin County where he spent the remainder of his youth and teen years. Post college landed him back in SF in a cheap downtown apartment at the gates of Chinatown where he'd sit on the fire escape with a notebook and a pint of Kessler whisky forging stories of the dirty and downtrodden that lay at his feet. Having lived in America, Europe and now Australia, Tim continues to manifest slipshod characters that elude general society but when put under his microscope are exposed in the most entertaining scenarios. His first novel, The Barley Pop Bastard was completed in 2016, and he is currently working on his second entitled, Nut Case.
