Summer Vacation!

Jim, thankfully, will be taking the summer off to do things that, we suspect, will include nudity and frozen alcoholic beverages.



With that said, we’re feverishly editing the first book that he wrote approximately 4 years ago.


In the meantime, vignettes of the aforementioned book shall be released to Pontchartrainpress.blogspot.com and at the sheer antagonism of a publisher who has had this wtriting in “queue” for a while. Consider it a sneak peek for those who regularly click in and read his absurd ramblings.


Particularly noteworthy, those who have read and who have worked on this book recently discovered, that the story is based on a suicide letter which was left behind by a close friend to Mr. Patrick about 5 years ago. This, in NO way, is a plot spoiler.


Only Jim, along with Irish whiskey, could find a humorous side to such a plot line.


At its root, the story spotlights three base characters and holds a redemptive factor in its ultimate outcome. While there’s a dark comedy spine throughout, this is a tale of redemption; a simple story of life and love. **

**With a drive-by shooting and sex


Keep in mind that the passages which will be released are loosely edited; especially the passages which were clearly written near the end of bar tabs.


We sincerely hope that you enjoy this story as we feverishly edit the hell out of it.


We equally wish that, with his summer vacation, we don’t have to bail Jim out of a Los Angeles County jail as he is visiting friends.


Collectively, CHEERS!
