About the Book:
Literary Americana with humor, heart, and a whole lot of twists to keep readers guessing
Detective
Early Pines loves his southern Arizona desert, often thinking he could
stare at it all day long. But now that he's forced to do just that, the
truth is the view from his back porch is getting old. He's on mandatory
leave from the police department, simply for punching a wife beater who
had it coming. Early is in dire need of a distraction from his own loud
thoughts. So when an old friend invites him to tag along to a rodeo down
in Old Mex, it seems like just the ticket.
But if there's one
constant in the world, it's that life always throws a guy curveballs.
With a flat tire, a roadside bar, and a beautiful woman with trouble on
her hands, Early's distraction takes a hard right turn--straight to Los
Angeles, six hundred miles west.
Hammott Lamont is waiting there
in his own personal hunting ground. The reclusive filmmaker is a
veritable cult leader to Hollywood stars--and he's sure his latest
project will redefine art history in his image. He's got a plan for a
brutal, modernized version of the Christ story, and he's ready to
trample anyone who stands in the way of his colossal vision. That is,
until big, loud Early Pines hits the coast for a clash of two titans who
never saw each other coming.
Quirky, lyrical, and unexpected, The Sound the Sun Makes
offers a warm and sunny side trip for fans of Jimmy Buffett, Carl
Hiaasen, and Barbara Kingsolver who long for more of a Christian
worldview in their fiction.
