FICTION
America teeters on the edge of anarchy. Hard coal country Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, pulses white-hot with star-spangled rage as the setting for PADDY’S DAY IN TRUMP TOWN REVISITED, a modern-day reality-based saga of working class ignorance, depression, violence, and Irish American bigotry.
This reissue of the novel Paddy’s Day in Trump Town includes the complete original 2020 paperback as well as five new chapters set in 2025. An aptly names “Apocalogue” concludes with dire warning of the destruction democracy faces during President Donald J. Trump’s reign as commander-in-chief.
PADDY’S DAY IN TRUMP TOWN REVISITED propels us deep into the darkly comic yet savage netherworld of the Irish Guys social club whose unstable members and Trump’s barbaric war on anyone who challenges their hero’s dictatorial rule, particularly women, these drunk and disorderly madmen will do anything to help Trump prevail in the hellfire of our red, white, and blue abyss, even as he destroys freedom in the process.

His attraction to the winsome Rachel further complicates his situation as her inner person far outshines that of his sweetheart in Georgia.

Set in contemporary Central Coastal California, this raw sequel to BLOOD RED SYRAH follows a curious commune of mind-bending wanderers into the caverns of their psyches. Plagued by the bloodlust of an invisible psychic demon who calls herself Syrah, a loco south-of-the-border drug cartel, Big Tobacco executioners, and a white neo-nutsy militia loner, these seekers face evil and bliss in ancient sand dunes where an aging hermit grows the most potent pot plants on the planet to make his unique cannabis-infused weed wine.
Despite mounting chaos the tribe finds solace in the spirit of the Dunites, an underground society of bohemian visionaries that once found refuge in the mystical Oceano dunes. Guided by Maya moon goddess Ixchel, whose sacred energy lives in Isla Mujeres, the Island of Women off the Yucatán Peninsula coast, Latina death saint La Santa Muerte, and Sinaloan narco savior Jesús Malverde, these unlikely voyagers join forces to realize their sacred dream of harmony and truth in a world gone mad.
