It coulda been worse.
That’s the “working epitaph” of 15-year-old Moon Landing. Not that Moon’s death is imminent—far from it—but his thoughts have turned to gallows humor, as his world disintegrates along with his parents’ marriage. His older brother skateboards through life with ease, but Moon is deeply troubled.
Just as he is solving for romantic unknowns with a gorgeous older girl, Moon must contend with his dad’s sudden absence, his mom-gone-wild’s sexcapades, and his best friends’ curious penchant for self-destruction. Not to mention his newfound role in agitating to end an African guerrilla’s bloody rampage.
To make sense of it all, Moon embarks on a quest to unravel the riddle of God’s injustice to man.
In this humorous and touching coming-of-age novel, Moon struggles to understand his parents—who they are, what brought them together, what broke them apart—and what that all means for his future.

No surprise, George Crowder has done time with the Buddhists, the Baptists, the Catholics, and the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Well…maybe some of that’s a surprise…
He has worked variously as a bartender, waiter, restaurant manager, window washer, grocery clerk, delivery driver, telemarketer, bead stringer, and screenwriter. Failing upward, he turned to education, and spent twenty-two years teaching third, fourth, and fifth grade, and as an elementary math specialist.
Pastimes include woodworking, tennis, hiking, playing guitar, speaking Italian, eating Italian, drinking Italian, and fraternizing with three adorable grandchildren.
He is the best-selling author of, uh, nothing… yet…
