The book would appeal to fans of Tom Robbins, Charles Bukowski, William S. Burroughs, and Jim Carroll. The remainder of the writing, and all of the editing, occurred during the last three years of drug-free living. This mixture lends a credible attraction as well as a shimmering clarity to the adventures. Starving in the Company of Beautiful Women is poetic, pornographic, and spiritual. It chronicles the adventures of independent pop legend, Cash Newmann, in his pursuit of and musings around God, sex, drugs, and purpose.
Cash is good-looking, smart, talented and basically kind, but a little bit evil.
He is a very believable character. Several short selections from the book have already been published on the internet in literary magazines. My home page has received an extra 20-30 hits per day as a result of links from these publications. The protagonist was culled from my experiences, observations and imagination. I am a 34 year-old musician, clean and sober for 4 years.
