xSomewhere East of Me
Denver writer Jake Dustin is untethered from indolence when his estranged sister announces South Carolina is exhuming their mother. With no choice but to go, Jake embarks on a cross-country odyssey of uproarious absurdity and self-exploration during the strange days of September 2021. Jake feeds the internet's insatiable lust for content as the miles rumble by while pondering where he lost his inner child and why he lives in his ex-wife's basement. Along the way, a rousing cast of characters like St. Louis Hobo, Tough-luck Chuck, and PTSD-ridden Spooky Cody offer a visceral distillation of life's eclectic reality. More than a metaphor, Somewhere East of Me untangles America's course through the 21st Century in a poignant snapshot of where we are and how we got here. If you are ready for a rollicking adventure filled with unexpected twists, laugh-out-loud hilarity, and the infinite wisdom of mutants in the middle of nowhere - buckle up. Join Jake for an absorbing romp as he considers the common truths and complicated circumstances of the human condition in a cathartic jaunt you can't put down. Merging historical fact and hysterical fiction Somewhere East of Me is postmodern literature written for a text message attention span. U'll dig it. Somewhere East of Me begins:
After my mother died, a mishap with her remains sent me on an expedition of many unexpected discoveries. Out of cold comfort, my travels were southeast across the desperate mid-western heart of America. A salty start to a September morning in Denver was the beginning of the end for my mother and me. I could still see her dangling by a steel chain strung from a backhoe, rumbling along an asphalt road bisecting several cemeteries in Charleston. The memory prompted me to recall what Riggles said about it all. There was no normal among us. My cell phone buzzed in the adjoining room. It wasn't yet 5 a.m. in Denver. The day was breaking somewhere east of me. "A great story and fun read, Somewhere East of Me follows one man's quest for meaning in modern America. I loved the characters, pace, and message; it's hard to put down."
