Blunt

Ben Marmot, a man with a life of promise gone wrong, is an anarchist, antiestablishment iconoclast. A

well-traveled 64-year-old decorated war hero and a sniper in the Vietnam War, his country has all but forgotten him. With each passing day it seems the establishment is taking away more and more of the freedom he depends on to survive. Traumatized by life and suffering from PSTD, angry and bitter, he is reduced to living in trailer park in Paradise at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Sally, a 33-year-old ethereal being, also lives in Paradise. When Ben meets Sally, they immediately see hope in one other. Forced inside themselves and in their own world, Sally and Ben find solace. When the 2018 Paradise campfire, the deadliest wildfire in California's history began, Sally and Ben decide to make a new start. Like Thelma and Louise, Bonnie and Clyde, and other infamous duos, Sally and Ben embark on a road trip to Key West.

A la Jack Kerouac's "On the Road'" we follow the journey of these lost souls on their counterculture road trip and watch their traumas play out in unbelievable ways. We hear their ideas about a world gone wrong, watch as they become renegades for freedom.

Written in terse, stunning, in-your-face prose, Blunt will force you to think past your own boundaries to a larger, more complex and connected world. And it will make you wonder about our idea of freedom. You'll have to decide, however, if Ben is proof-positive crazy...and if

Sally is even real?

Is their free-spirited and carefree journey real or imagined?

A fun read, trying to decipher their world and the characters, you will marvel at the madness not far from Today's America, where political and media attention overly focuses on what divides us; and on the degradation of moral reality and free fall into debauchery...It's not difficult to imagine Blunt!
