A princess from an exiled country living in Seattle falls in love with a outlaw bomber while vacationing in Hawaii. This book breaks down topics such as: the packaging of camel cigarettes, an alien race of redheads, and the phases of the moon. With priceless characters such as the cokehead houselady and the cia handyman.


A wild ride for sure.

The offbeat writing style, outrageous characters, and ability to veer off topic while still keeping the reader interested.

Overly short chapters, Lack of realism.

Like writing in a freer form when I take the pen to the pad, and inspired me to hammer out a novel.

Is a classic personality who specializes in being against the grain.

It is a ton of fun, not too long, and easy to digest.

This author's way of writing is to typically start from the first sentence straight through to the last. He seldom revises. When he writes the first sentence of a book he has no sense of what the ending will be. He will take all day to write one sentence if it has to as he plods along looking for the perfect word combinations. Talk about unorthodox, it is an intense way to try and tackle writing a complete novel.
