Savage Broken Pieces

 Why be Cuban if you can’t be crazy?

Landing back home amid the chaos of mid-1980s Key West, I ask the age-old question along with my flamboyant and sarcastic half-brother, Joey. We pick right back up where we left off in our absurd endeavors to seek out truths in the family’s complicated history. Are we liberating heroes or smuggling criminals? Perceptions vary wildly.

My supernatural beliefs fueling this quest again find me at odds with Michael. His golden boy image and promising political career are in question as clear answers to my unexplained daring departure during the 1980 Cuban refugee crisis come to light with my sudden return. It was easier to leave during the hurricane, fleeing the self-created inland storm of my reckless choices with him and Michael’s ruthless retribution for them. I am again drawn to the fire of his desire, craving its redemption but have been burned before. He can fix something broken deep inside and can also destroy me. I fear I will shoot him again in his process to save me. I am sure of this as strong fortitude in one’s depravity was mandatory in our family’s line of work in the profitable and perilous Florida Straits.

We follow our determined Cuban refugee father, infamous for fiercely freeing his countrymen while struggling to direct his lively clan with our mothers by his side. One of old Floridian wealth and the other an ex-stripper. Our eccentric Cuban grandmother, banned from most local shops due to excessive shoplifting, considers herself the family’s moral compass. She has a lot to say, while my mysterious grandfather has only uttered one cryptic phrase since the fateful night of fleeing Cuba. A younger sister, guided by her magic eight-ball answers for life’s decisions, joins in the collective mayhem.

Artifacts from the past unlock my waking mind to the paradox of the recurring nightmare that made me run all those years ago. It is not any of my old memories but only a prophecy of what will come. A gift of insight from my Tia, who was murdered during the Batista to Castro regime changes, transcends my journey. The dream is to be followed dutifully, not outrun any longer. Despite my looming reckoning with Michael, where he will levy his justice on me, and the ominous warnings of the dream start coming true, I answer its call. In search of my fate from Key West and the Bimini Islands to the Greek culture of Tarpon Springs along with meeting those from my Cuban roots, fulfilling my dangerous destiny. What else is a Savage to do?

5th and Vanguard

 

5th and Vanguard SECOND EDITION

5th and Vanguard is set in a seaside town called Berle and narrated by Julie Page, an ex-junkie and writer who had retired her writing (and other addictions) for a more conventional life. But inspiration pays a call one windy night in front of Bob's Liquor Palace as a glamorous, disfigured old woman emerges from the backseat of a Cadillac and offers Julie one more chance at taking chances.

This quirky, neo-noir mystery explores the pock-marked inner and outer world of its heroine as she faces her demons to recover her muse. 5th and Vanguard is a story of chemical, emotional, and artistic addiction, and the price paid to feed each habit.

The music of Maxine Montego showcased in the book is the author’s own. Some of the songs can be heard on her album, “Champions and Lunatics,” available through iTunes, amazon, CDBaby, and various independents.

Maxine Montego reanimated my imagination like heaven’s alarm clock at the end of a dark sleep. She was a peep show offering everything that made me breathe hard: pain, loss, regret, greasy characters, seedy deals, and an irresistible talent. She teased me till all my nickels were gone. She was caffeine. Benzedrine. A mythological speedball coursing through my ready veins. And danger played no small part in my nearly libidinous need to pry into the warped vinyl of this singer’s life.

You're Gonna Have Trouble

 

–– You’re Gonna Have Trouble –– 

Volume #6 –– in the Chance "Cash" Register Working Stiff Series . . .

I fixed it so I'd get fired. Don't mean it didn't hurt any less. The crazy schedule they had me on driving the hotel van (picking up flight crews 6-days a week), left no time for the one thing that mattered: the writing. So I got pink-slipped; kicked to the curb, as they say. One problem solved––that created another: how to earn money to buy groceries, put gas in the used bucket, pay bills.

So it starts: another series of blue-collar, back-breaking/soul-crushing gigs: at a plant nursery, meat-packing facility, warehouse, striping company as jackhammer operator and ditch-digger. We do what we gotta. It's like this for the average person. No biggie. Nothing to it but to do it. Folks in other countries might think we're all a bunch of millionaires here in the grand and prosperous US of A. Guess what, peeps? Here's the truth. We're toilers. Most of us.

Some of us working stiffs, like me, might even be into the arts: appreciate the great painters, awesome writers and jazz & blues artists. What keeps us going. But yes, we're 9-to-5-ers. Do it to get by. My favorite books have always been Tom Kromer's Waiting for Nothing, Jack Black's Nobody Wins, Bukowski's Post Office, George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London, Jack London's Martin Eden; and of course Knut Hamsun's unforgettable Hunger. This is my way of honoring those great scribes who wrote tomes about stuff that actually matters. K.A.
