The Pains of April

Frank Turner Hollon

Over the Transom Pub

The last thing that canned ham salesman Austin MacAdoo expected to find when he took a seat in a strip joint in Tampa, Florida was love. The last thing that 23-year-old stripper Emily Dooley predicted on an average night was to walk away from her job and run off with a 347 pound stranger who was drinking milk punch at the bar. And yet, that's exactly what happens. Armed with a trunk full of ham, two odd cats, and a stowaway whose most precious possession is a coat of human hair, they set off on a trip with the destination of a wedding on Julia Robert's star on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, California. From the moment they meet, fate collides with reality and sets the couple on a course across the country to explore more than they ever imagined could exist in this world, leading us to conclude that perhaps the greatest misconception is the belief we must understand anything of true importance in this life, especially love. Funny and surprisingly tender, Austin and Emily is an old fashioned story about contemporary love, from the author The God File and Life is a Strange Place.

MACADAM/CAGE.

Austin McAdoo is a 347-pound man with a dry sense of humor and an affinity for canned ham. Emily Dooley is a tempestuous bombshell with an unpredictable temper and a simple worldview. Their appearances and personalities couldn't be more different. But from the instant they meet in a Tampa strip club, they are madly in love. The star-crossed lovers set out to Los Angeles with a car full of cats on a quest to find eternal bliss along the Hollywood Walk-of-Fame. Traveling the long route to a modern Oz, the characters search for courage, heart, and brains in this comical examination of romance. Austin and Emily shows that much of life is truly absurd, but nothing so much as true love. Either you believe in it or you don't. There is no in between.

Product Description 
In this intricate, psychological mystery, Joel Stabler takes the life of his beloved brother Danny in what appears to be a mercy killing. When Joel's lawyers assign a psychologist to determine his sanity at the time of the shooting, the full story of the brothers' past and long family history of mental illness begins to unfold. Told entirely through Joel's pre-trial interview sessions with Dr Andrews, this novel takes on the argument of nature versus nurture, closely examining the factors that prompted this murder. And as Joel responds to the doctor's probing questions, he in turn begins to evaluate the doctor, stealing glimpses of his notes and speculating about his personal life. As we listen in on their conversations, it becomes less and less clear whom to trust, what is certain, or where the truth actually lies.
