ESCAPE VELOCITY A Fractured Novel

ByTim Leichliter

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
John Crane is an American who prefers living in Spain. While traveling in the country he loves, he stays until funds are exhausted, going to great lengths to extend his visits. As his bankroll diminishes, his standard of living slides from affluent tourist traveling with runway model Christy Lent, to homeless vagabond sharing Barcelona’s oceanfront mountain, sometimes violently, with an international community of squatters and junkies. Whenever forced to return to the states, he does so penniless and often in rags, to work various jobs—exterminator, mechanic or bartender, saving money to return to Spain in style. Escape Velocity is his story told in four parts, each from a different point of view and capable of standing on its own as a short story. Part fiction and part guidebook, all of Escape Velocity’s cafes, streets and other locations are real, available to the reader interested in traveling Spain or simply seeking entertainment.
