Blood Trip is my first novel. It is a crime novel about a divorced dad who is “not made of the right stuff.” As in he’s flawed. You read in the paper about how sometimes in a divorce the man will snap and do something violent. This is such a story. Max Thrax the crime writer said the book is “a delightfully twisted and inventive noir reminiscent of past masters Thompson, Willeford, and Dan J. Marlowe.” Gabriel Hart of Close to the Bone (and elsewhere) fame called it “a hitman tale that takes elements of Jim Thompson’s over-the-top vintage pulp with an obsessive modern edge.”
This is my attempt to entertain and thrill you in book form. It will be the beach read of 2022, it fits right in your used grocery bag with suntan lotion and sunglasses and bottle of water and pill bottles.
