California Roadkill

California Roadkill is the harrowing journey of three societal outliers marred by violence, homelessness, and the residue of addiction. Its characters embark on a path both physical and spiritual, of psyche and soul, as they seek redemption from the past, present, and future. From urban blight to coastal breezes, it is a story not only of renewal and reckoning, but of California itself.

What readers are saying…

“Poignant and beautiful, California Roadkill picks up where Bukowski left off in an homage/condemnation to the City of Angels (Los Angeles). It’s a bad ass read about some very broken people and their oddly dignified dreams. This is the kind of book that I would love to see adapted for an HBO or MAX series, must watch television.”

- James Remar, Actor (Oppenheimer, Dexter, The Warriors)

“It is a beautiful novel that asks us to reconsider preconceptions, and to think about the ways the world has changed in the last decade… it is a point-of-view that I have not seen represented yet, and it is a book that should be read, discussed, and thought about.” 

- John Brantingham, Tears in the Fence (UK)

“A wondrously written work that will instantly become one of your favorite books and probably receive a well-deserved favorite spot on your bookshelf… This book unquestionably carries a punk rock rebellion wrapped with years of experience and earned knowledge… It stands as a unique and vital contribution to literature, deserving of recognition.”

- Djordje Miladinović, Thoughts Words Action
