A Fishermans Guide to Bottomdwellers

Skeptical, trash-talking Katrina believes she has everything under control in her hard-drinking dive bar world. She and her “Lost Boys” are running open-throttle against middle-age, until two strangers happen into the bar during Derby Week. One man will lead the pack on wild adventures. The other, quieter man will challenge Katrina to take a hard look at her path – and break through her stonewall defenses. Judged by readers to be reminiscent of Charles Bukowski’s work, this story includes: drunken marine sergeants on leave; haunted carriage houses; Woodstock with a twang; Kentucky Derby drinking binges; full-contact underage Kareoke; and 72 hour road trip to Mardi Gras and back; gay bar disco strip shows; and busty Halloween brawls. The last half of the novel is set against the events of 911 and the unexpected death of a bartender. All of these events forces Katrina to redefine her thoughts on true love.
