These are quotes from my recently published novel A Long Slow Aftermath,<\/a>, the story of Preston, a working class punk who is trying to get his life together after leaving a drug rehab. Think of them as mini-excerpts!<\/p>\n

Preston deals, not only with a wide array of interesting and too-interesting characters, but also with his uncertain future as he finds himself caught between the haves and have-nots of a gentrifying Oakland, California.<\/p>\n

My book is available in Kindle format on Amazon.com!<\/em><\/p>\n

     \u201cAw. I wanna small doggy I can carry around in my jacket.\u201d
\n      \u201cIf you got a dog, wouldn’t it have to be a seeing eye dog?\u201d
\n     She tilted her head as she thought about it. \u201cMaybe I can have both. One big seeing eye dog and one little dog I can carry.\u201d
\n     \u201cYou could always have the little dog ride the big dog like a horse.\u201d<\/p>\n

     \u201cAin’t you worried about walkin’ around here at three in the morning?\u201d
\n      She looked Preston right in the eye. \u201cAren’t you?\u201d
\n     \u201cNot so much since I’m a scrungy lookin’ guy. An’ I got this pit bull with me.\u201d
\n      She looked down at the still tail-wagging Joey. \u201cYes, she looks really vicious,\u201d said Miranda as she arched an eyebrow again.<\/p>\n

     Preston did not feel like moving anymore, but he had to walk Joey. Putting the collar and leash on her took extra time because she would not stop squirming and jumping. Bringing her out to the street, he decided he would take the short, gratuitous dog walking route.
\n     Joey zigged and zagged, and jumped up and down whenever she saw another dog. She also scanned the trees for squirrels, as barking at and chasing after squirrels was one of her favorite pastimes.
\n     Preston was not sure what Joey would do if she actually caught a squirrel. She was such a happy dog that he assumed she would try to play with it.<\/p>\n

     \u201cDo all of your women taste like beverages?\u201d<\/p>\n

     Preston shook his head. \u201cI know they said money can’t buy happiness, but I can’t shake the feeling I’d be a lot happier if I had a lot more money.\u201d
\n      \u201cHell yeah\u201d said Lanelle. \u201cIf I won the lottery I’d buy so many damn shoes they would need their own room.\u201d
\n      Jeffers winced at Lanelle. \u201cY’all gonna be Imelda Marcos?\u201d
\n      \u201cWelcome to my shoe room!\u201d she announced as she waved her hand.<\/p>\n

     Toshi held up a hand. \u201cJust so you know, I’ve already heard the blind lesbians joke, too many damn times.\u201d
\n     \u201cWhat’s the blind lesbian joke?\u201d asked Lanelle.
\n     \u201cYou never heard the blind lesbians joke?\u201d asked Preston.
\n     \u201cNaw,\u201d said Lanelle. \u201cThere’s only one?\u201d
\n     \u201cI’ll tell it to ya later.\u201d
\n     \u201cDon’t tell her the blind lesbians joke,\u201d said Toshi.
\n     \u201cHow am I not gonna tell it to her?\u201d<\/p>\n

     Miranda looked in Preston’s direction. \u201cYou’re lucky you’re cute.\u201d
\n     \u201cYou think I’m cute?\u201d
\n     \u201cI was talking to the dog.\u201d<\/p>\n

     Dassler Street had a long stretch of houses that were marked by standard ghetto chaos such as derelict cars, unmowed lawns, and hoarder houses. Many of those houses had outdoor artwork and plenty of political signs of the progressive and leftist variety, and many houses were quite distinct in their own right. There was the hippy house with a communal hot tub in the back, usually full of naked residents and various neighborhood characters. There was the House of Raging Women that had a front yard absolutely littered with shoddily made artwork and modern day relics such as used toys and old placard advertisements. There was the PR House, a place full of recovering addicts, all of whom went for early morning and evening runs, and who had recovery paraphernalia posted in their windows and their yard. There was the Johnny Trouble house which was absolutely riddled with outdoor and indoor graffiti, their windows covered with band posters and flyers. The Johnny Trouble House was also a frequent site for backyard punk shows.<\/p>\n

     “I’m tryin’ to keep my band Hat Confusion together.\u201d
\n     \u201cOkay. I haven’t heard about that gig. I’ve been outta the loop for a time.\u201d
\n     Molly looked out into the meeting hall crowd. \u201cSynth pop. I’m tryin’ to go totally eighties to piss off the punks.\u201d
\n     \u201cGotcha. Is it workin’?\u201d
\n     She shrugged. \u201cEh. Turns out punks really like it.\u201d
\n     \u201cSo much for pissing them off.\u201d
\n     \u201cReally. They used to be a lot touchier.\u201d<\/p>\n

     He quickly changed out of his work pants and put on his best pair of black jeans. He scanned his band shirts. He tossed aside his Subhumans shirt before contemplating his Bikini Kill shirt. Setting that one aside, he contemplated his remaining array of clean band shirts: Naked Aggression, The Descendants, Aus Rotten, Pennywise, Killing Joke, Operation Ivy, Distillers, Condemned to Death, Svetlanas, DOA…
\n     He tossed aside his Crass shirt as too old school. He wondered what he was doing with a Venom t-shirt until he remembered that his friend Scary Mary had given it to him as a birthday present.
\n     He finally decided on his Leftover Crack shirt, especially since it was the newest band shirt.<\/p>\n

     \u201cOh my God!\u201d exclaimed Toshi. \u201cYou really are tall for a girl.\u201d
\n     \u201cYeah.\u201d
\n     \u201cYou think you can carry me to the frozen yogurt stand?\u201d<\/p>\n

     \u201cI don’t suppose there’s people who have a blind fetish, is there?\u201d asked Toshi with an impish smile.<\/p>\n

     \u201cOkay,\u201d said Miranda, \u201cyou wanna go on a date?\u201d
\n     \u201cF’real?\u201d
\n     \u201cYeah. Let’s do a normal person date.\u201d
\n     He stared blankly for a moment. \u201cLike, what would we do? What do you do on a date?\u201d
\n     \u201cDinner and a movie. That’s a standard date night, especially for couples.\u201d
\n     \u201cCouples go on dates?\u201d
\n     \u201cOf course they do. Especially if they don’t have a lot of time on their hands.\u201d
\n     \u201cWe got plenty of time on our hands.\u201d
\n     \u201cYeah, sure we do. So why not?\u201d
\n     \u201cI don’t know. Sounds kinda weird.\u201d<\/p>\n

     \u201cDoesn’t this car go boom?\u201d asked Preston.
\n     \u201cHell yeah. You should see how many batteries are in the trunk!\u201d
\n     \u201cWhy ain’t it goin’ boom now?\u201d
\n     \u201cWell, I didn’t want to rattle your bones. Or make you deaf.\u201d
\n     \u201cMan, I’ve been to five million punk shows. I got no high frequency hearing left.\u201d
\n     \u201cSo what you sayin’?\u201d
\n     \u201cI’m sayin’ crank it up. Let’s hear the boom!\u201d<\/p>\n

     \u201cSeriously, that dog is not a seeing eye dog,\u201d said the young man as Joey shuffled her paws in place and wagged her tail.
\n     \u201cShe is too!\u201d protested Toshi. \u201cI should know.\u201d
\n     \u201cIf she thinks it’s a seeing eye dog then it’s a seeing eye dog,\u201d said the young woman.<\/p>\n

     \u201cI went through all of that shit, the shaking, the throwing up, the hardcore DTs. I just stayed in my room. I kept all the shades drawn and spent all of my time sealed up in a dark room.\u201d
\n     \u201cOkay.\u201d
\n     \u201cAll I did was read. I read Kerouac, and Thompson, and Bukowski, and guys like Orton and Mamet.\u201d
\n     \u201cYou read Bukowski and Thompson while you were detoxing?\u201d<\/p>\n

     \u201cI couldn’t find Irvine Welsh,\u201d said Miranda.
\n     \u201cWhat?\u201d
\n     \u201cI’ve been on a quest to find an Irvine Welsh book in the wild. Hasn’t happened yet.\u201d
\n     \u201cCan’tcha just order one online?\u201d
\n     \u201cI’ve done that. I want to find one in a bookstore.\u201d<\/p>\n

     \u201cDamn. Things goin’ crazy again. Before you know it all those junk houses are gonna get snatched up by more tech bros for way too much money.\u201d
\n     \u201cNo shit. If this keeps up, you think you gonna have to move soon?\u201d
\n     \u201cFuck it. I’m goin’ to hold out as long as possible. Oakland’s the only home I’ve ever known.\u201d Donjee turned around and looked at his house. \u201cI’ll probably be the last black man in Oakland.\u201d<\/p>\n

     Preston leaned towards Miranda. \u201cGet this. He hasn’t had sex in like, thirteen years.\u201d
\n     Miranda’s eyes popped open. \u201cYou’re kidding!\u201d
\n     \u201cNope.\u201d
\n     Miranda glanced in Carey’s direction and then looked back at Preston. \u201cHe does know you can order out for that, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

     \u201cYou know the kind of women I usually end up with.\u201d
\n     Lee looked right at Preston. \u201cIf you were really being careful you wouldn’t be with women like that at all.\u201d
\n     \u201cYeah sure.\u201d
\n     \u201cShe’s different. Very different,\u201d said Lee quietly as she saw Miranda and Toshi making their way back to the table. \u201cSo you have to do things differently. She’s not for amateurs.\u201d
\n     \u201cI’m no amateur,\u201d said Preston.<\/p>\n

     Miranda walked up to them. \u201cHey, you tryin’ to steal Preston?\u201d
\n     \u201cI was gonna kidnap him and hold him for ransom,\u201d said Lee.
\n     \u201cPlease, what could you get for me?\u201d asked Preston.
\n     \u201cI figure at least three dollars fifty cents.\u201d
\n     \u201cHey!\u201d said Miranda.
\n     \u201cWhat? They only got two fifty for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

     \u201cThat’s all I need right now is my man fallin’ in love with a crazy white wonder woman who can kick my ass.\u201d<\/p>\n

     Haste shook Toshi’s hand. \u201cWhat’s a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?\u201d
\n     \u201cThis is my first ever punk show.\u201d
\n     \u201cNo shit? Damn. I’ve been to about a million of them.\u201d
\n     Toshi turned to Preston. \u201cSo is Haste handsome? Is he a total catch?\u201d
\n     \u201cI’m dead ugly,\u201d said Haste. \u201cSeriously.\u201d
\n     \u201cNo you’re not,\u201d said Miranda. Miranda turned to Toshi. \u201cHe’s just being a dork.\u201d
\n     \u201cNo really,\u201d said Haste. \u201cI was recently identified as the leading cause of vaginal dryness.\u201d<\/p>\n

     \u201cI was in a band called the Undead Bettys,\u201d said Miranda. \u201cWe had songs about poodle skirts from hell, about aliens attacking Earth, and we had one big hit that was all about girlfriends attacking their boyfriends and slicing them into pieces and hiding their bodies.\u201d<\/p>\n

     \u201cHe’s a musician,\u201d said Toshi. \u201cHe just joined a new band.\u201d
\n     \u201cReally?\u201d said Thea as she looked at Preston in surprise.
\n     \u201cA punk band?\u201d asked designer jeans.
\n     \u201cActually a synth band,\u201d said Preston. \u201cKinda like an eighties retro band.\u201d
\n     \u201cOh! Like Flock of Seagulls?\u201d asked the blonde pants suit.
\n     Preston stood still as he shrugged.
\n     \u201cMore like Bauhaus I’m sure,\u201d said Thea.
\n     \u201cBauhaus?\u201d said the blonde pants suit. \u201cThe art movement?\u201d<\/p>\n

     \u201cAre you my new mistake?\u201d she asked.
\n     \u201cProbably.\u201d
\n     She closed her eyes. \u201cI don’t know what I’m doing. I’m not sure what’s going on.\u201d
\n     \u201cWhy do you say that?\u201d
\n     She slowly opened her eyes again. \u201cI don’t know why I trust you so much.\u201d
\n     He looked around in thought. \u201cI don’t know either.\u201d<\/p>\n
