Extended description

(Newly proofed and reformatted text) Against his better judgment, Hollywood foot soldier Stoney Winston arrives at a flea-bitten desert Hamlet to help Diane LaMotta direct her first feature, a no-budget indie action potboiler titled Cycles from Hell. The director’s hostile, the cameraman’s drunk, the crew’s rebellious, and the real bikers playing most of the parts perform as bad as they smell. Diane and a biker momma start fighting over Stoney, while the production’s being slowly killed by systematic sabotage that turns into stabbing, near-drowning, and violent death.
Stoney’s only weapons are his courage, his movie smarts, and his friend, Scuzzy. Courtly Nathaniel Hawthorne (“Scuzzy”)Fenster supports his Talmudic scholarship by playing heavies in biker films. Since he stands six-six, weighs 300 pounds, and sprouts hair in all directions, the very sight of him would make Attila wet his pants. He works a lot.

Review by: Garry Puffer on April 09, 2012 :
I liked this book a lot. The writing goes down easy and the characters are wonderful. One easy way to tell good writing: you know who is speaking by the way they talk. These characters are well-drawn and their dialogue is excellent.
I gave the novel 4 stars instead of 5 because of a peculiar typo that kept interupting the flow of the reading. In probably several dozen places an "A" was replaced by a quotation mark. Every time I saw it I tried to figure out what would account for such a weird thing. Authors should try very hard to not distract the reader this way.
