A brush fire consumes the Malibu home of socially challenged, best selling sci fi writer Buckminster Brand Sinclair. Succumbing to the impassioned entreaties of his literary agent, he reluctantly agrees to take a temporary hiatus from writing and finds himself on a tiny island in the middle of the Pacifi c, ostensibly for some much needed rest and relaxation. He meets there an intriguing group of ex-pats from different corners of the world. What they share in common is a potent secret. The Komodo Cafe chronicles Buckminsters initiation into the mysteries of Empyrean Island and its inhabitants. But what he discovers about his new found neighbors pales in comparison to what he begins to realize about himself in this comic adventure thriller from the author of the Elvis trilogy and Sleeping Gods.

Murder comes to the sleepy coastal hamlet of Angels’ Keep. Antiques dealer Wild Bill Willy Rasp is gunned down gangland-style by unseen assailants. When his body subsequently disappears without a trace, it is left to the only witness to his demise--biker, blues guitar player and amp repairman par excellence, Manfred “Doc” St. Michel--to investigate. What begins as a straightforward murder inquiry escalates into a race across space and time as one mystery opens out into a vastly greater mystery in this genre-bending comic novel by the author of The Komodo Cafe, Sleeping Gods and the Elvis trilogy.

Washed-up seventies glam rock star and British ex-pat, Harrington Gloss, has been contracted to write a fantasy novel. As the deadline looms, he is at a loss as to how to begin, never having written a novel before in his life. Help arrives when he ducks into the Gryphons Claw Cafe one fateful evening. He meets there a prickly lesbian rock diva, Kincaid McAllister, and inspiration takes hold. The would-be writer embarks on a fictional tale about a scarred and battle-hardened medieval knight-errant, Sir Fenmar of Raventry, the preeminent warrior of the age. Sir Fenmar is sent on an improbable quest into the Jagged Mountains by Princess Isabella of Castle Splendour. His assignment? To locate a mythical dragon she believes can save the kingdom from a mysterious calamity that has befallen it. So begins a serpentine and scaly saga, which parallels and finally intersects its writers own story as it builds to a climax, pitting its heroes against a diabolical evil and impossibly long odds as the fate of the world hangs precariously in the balance. As the hero, Sir Fenmar, is given a final shot at redemption, can his hapless author, Harrington Gloss, find a way to transform his own destiny?
