Easy Rider and Chopperguy

A little self promotion here.

I have completed my first book, Black Whole Son. Here's the teaser.

Dieu LaRue, a devout deviant and playboy, has just found out that his best friend, Howard LaDuke, is about to become a father. In what he sees as a last stab at freedom, he convinces his friend to join him on a cross country journey on motorcycles to chase down a past that never was and a future that can never be. What they are looking for and what they find are not what they expect.

Join Dieu and How as they indulge in sex and drugs and sex and motorcycles and sex and magick and sex in a journey through space and time on a plotted course to an unknowable destination. The answers to all of their questions and misgivings reveal themselves in chaos and order. Their misgivings and questions to all of the answers veil themselves in order and chaos. Who is the Black Whole Son?

A quick note to clarify some technicalities for those who may not know the differences between certain styles of bike.

Choppers are stripped down motorcycles with long front ends like Captain America.

Bobbers are stripped down motorcycles with nearly stock front ends like the Billy Bike.

Choppers and Bobbers are Customs.

Custom bikes may have long front ends, but that doesn't make them a Chopper. WCC and OCC make nifty custom bikes, sometimes they even build a Chopper. But mostly they build customs INFLUENCED by choppers.

I wouldn't hound on this topic if it weren't for owning a chopper. Customs are pretty. Choppers and Bobbers are a process, a state of mind, an exercise in minimalism, maybe even a zen path to enlightenment.

It's like those people with SUV's who call them trucks. SUV's have an enclosed cab all the way to the rear and are for hauling stuff. Trucks have a big open bed and are for hauling shit. Would you want half a ton of cow shit dumped in your Suburban?

Ain't semantics a bitch?

I've been participating in NaNoWriMo. It's a hell of a lot of fun to challenge yourself to write an entire book in one month.

Well, the story is about a cross country motorcycle ride. When I've finished, I'll self-publish it and put copies up for sale as cheap as I dare. For now, go to my NaNoWriMo Profile and read an excerpt, watch my progress, etc. BTW, the excerpt may be NSFW.
