Award-winning book that recently earned acclaim from the prestigious Next Generation Indie Book Awards! Eddie Gillespie was born and raised in a shanty, backwards Brooklyn neighborhood called Van Bakel Beach. Everyone from the beach is proud to call themselves beach rats and most acted in-line with that moniker. Eddie, like many others from the beach, is a little bit of a loser. He can't get a girlfriend, he is perpetually underemployed, and is seeking a new life for himself. Eddie discovers an enigma in the neighborhood, a house filled with beautiful Russian mail order brides. He decides the best way to buy one for himself is to team up with his friend Mickey. Mickey is the classic grifter of Van Bakel Beach and agrees to help his buddy Eddie get the dough that he needs to make his pathetic dream a reality. Mickey is a man with a plan, but Joey Sallazzo, Jr. has a better one. A ramshackle gang from Van Bakel Beach is assembled to burglarize Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Restaurant in Coney Island on the day of the Mermaid Parade. After weeks of planning, scheming, and all out Brooklyn-style craziness involving trannies, junkie cops, and motorcycle gangs, the plan gets off without a hitch. Until they check the drop bag and chaos breaks out in Brooklyn.

Kimberly Meehan (nee Handle) was born and raised in a small town on the north shore of Long Island, New York. However, after spending 17 years of her adult life in Brooklyn, she considers the county of the Kings to be her hometown. Kim is known for being both passionate, pushy, and having the professional attention span of a gnat. She is a failed rock climber and a terrible drummer. However, she has found success as an Irish Step Dancer, having danced at Radio City Music Hall at the age of 15. She is an accomplished painter, having majored in fine arts in her undergraduate studies at Hunter College in New York. She has also published several dry, jargon-filled articles on her scientific obsessions, the paleoecology of Cambrian Burgess-Shale type fossils of the Wheeler Formation, Utah, and the methane-cold seep assemblages of the Late Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway, following her Master's in Geology at Brooklyn College and Ph.D. in Paleoecology at the CUNY Graduate Center, respectively. A recent life change has brought her to Buffalo, New York, where she has jumped into her next endeavor telling tales and reminiscing about the characters she met in the neighborhoods back in Brooklyn.
