ALL MEAT - A Redneck Meets LSD-25 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780984936564)

John Aalborg, aka "Mo'hammer" - a somewhat reclusive writer - no TV interviews, no book signings, no fawning to the suits who control print media. His book-length work, however, is anything but neutral or fugitive, and, like Elmore Leonard, "I leave out the parts readers would skip." John is a no-nonsense, card-carrying member of the working class, and his novels are hard-boiled page-turners. His girlfriend, Cheater, calls his ever-present notebooks "splurt books", but after the notes are pounded into the keyboard you can taste them. Aalborg has worked at jobs rich in uncommon personal experience, all the while jotting down those experiences in notebooks or on legal pads. Three years comfortably living off the German black market (culminating in his being deported back to the USA); five years as a licensed locksmith in "The Magic City" ( Miami), where many of his less ethical assignments were for law enforcement; five years as an EMT for a rural Florida hospital and ambulance crew; many more years driving OTR (interstate) for long-haul trucking companies; and winter respites from the road by working the graveyard shift at local fuel-stops on exits off I-10, where he and Cheater packed guns and took care of their own law enforcement. The writer's eyes, in other words, are the reader's look into worlds normally unseen.
