When Nat King Cole first sang “Get your kicks on Route 66,” he sure wasn’t kidding. Guisy sets out for some inspiration on the highway and manages to find it. She’s been needing it, because she’s one screenplay contest away from being less than nobody…or so she feels. A middle school dropout from the reservation, her father drank himself to death, her mother went AWOL, and she wished her cruel foster mom would have done one or the other but had no such luck. Winning this screenplay contest and moving to the City of Angels just might save her soul after all.
John Clark finds manual labor along that stretch of highway to be almost as good as freedom. Prison life is a far cry from his former life of fame and fortune in Hollywood. Now a used-to-be celebrity dreaming only of freedom, his first meeting with Guisy is like being hit by a truck…or rather, a Subaru Outback. No really, she hits him with her car while he’s working in the chain gang on the side of the road.
So, used-to-be and wannabe have found each other and had one hell of a first meeting. Both are quick to realize that this might be the start of something they’ve always wanted, and adventure awaits. Will Guisy and John find something in each other that has eluded them everywhere else? Will their impending adventures give them an opportunity to lift each other up, or will their pasts inevitably cause each to drag the other down? Find out what awaits by purchasing Snakebite, now available on the author’s website!
