Synopsis
This debut novel by veteran Seattle musician Danny Bland follows a pair of outsiders who find themselves locked in the palpable, dizzy grunge-rock scene of early-’90s Seattle. Vulnerable to the high relief of heroin addiction, Bland’s characters — Charlie Hyatt and Carrie Finch — are unapologetic protagonists whose epiphanies are as blinding as their weaknesses. Finch, 21, beautiful and dangerous, drowns out the voices in her head and the consequences of a misled life with electric guitars, booze and petulant misbehavior. Her single abiding faith takes the form of an unlikely savior — ’60s psychedelic musician Roky Erikson. At the ripe old age of 28, Hyatt attempts to make sense of the cards he has been dealt: a miserable job in a porn shop, a drug habit he cannot afford and the wildly unstable woman he had chosen to love. Two damaged people can balance a seesaw for a long time, even finding the illusion of safety; but when one gets off unannounced, the other will fall. As Finch finds sobriety, her sanity and her relationship with Hyatt falter until an inevitable event brings the two back together a decade later.

About the Author
DANNY BLAND has been a musician and tour manager for over 30 years. Although he lives in Seattle, he is more than likely in a Ford Econoline van driving a rock 'n' roll band to their next engagement.
From the Back Cover
Not comics! This debut prose novel by veteran musician Danny Bland follows a pair of outsiders who find themselves locked in the dizzy grunge-rock scene of early-'90s Seattle. It is the unfiltered tale of the balancing act two heroin addicts must maintain to stay together - and the fall-out when one person decides to clean up. Fast-paced, gritty and darkly funny.
