Johnny Marathon, CIA spy extraordinaire, awakens in New York City with no memory, only a soul-deep need to track down a woman he cannot remember but knows he loves. Cryptic clues, strange dreams and an annoying homeless man reveal to Johnny he is a fictitious hero in a novel being written by Judd Myrvin. The fledgling writer's lack of writing skills has trapped his hero and a cast of supporting characters in literary purgatory until he relinquishes control and lets them tell their own story. Judd is Johnny's only link to salvation and reunion. All stories need conflict and for Johnny two rival mob bosses, a straight razor-totting dwarf and a scoundrel in a suit, along with a voluptuous hit-woman and the entire NYPD police force, are each determined to extract Judd's name and address from him. To escape purgatory and keep his status as the story's main character, Johnny must track down his creator before his pursuers. Through one misadventure after another, Johnny tracks down Judd, only to be cornered in the writer's apartment by an epic shootout between the mobsters and the entire NYPD. The shoot out ends with the meanest cop in control who orders the writer to change the storyline, making him the story's hero. But Judd refuses to cooperate, his characters still trapped, or are they?
An anthology of poems and pictures written from the viewpoint of a bipolar poet covering topics such as psychotherapy, dreams, romance, whimsy, aging, philosophy, alienation, and the experience of writing poetry itself. Includes two appendices, one a collection of poems featuring the author's family members and one a collection of "Observations" which are basically plays on words.
The book combines suspense, romance, conflict, and a touch of humor, with a surprise ending that combines the misconduct of a drug-dealer with the oft-irrational acts of a run-away wife, the deeds of a crew of State Troopers, and the karma of an aging war veteran. It's about the forks in life's road and how some people traveled this one or that one, and for some, the cost of those choices.
