Earthquakes

Subtitled the Felix Cooch Chronicles this would seem to be an attempt by
an author best known for his gay romance writing to enter the
mainstream. If you can get past the frequent 'f bombs' this is a decent
adventure mystery novel. Freshly graduated from journalism school our
hero finds himself on the run from the mob with his mother and her best
friend. After finding their feet in California Cooch goes off to fight
the war in Vietnam where his misadventures continue. At heart a decent
likable character Felix' story will engage the reader and carry you along.

By the second half of the novel Felix/Jason has become far less likable
sinking to murder, larceny, revenge. The author's editing also becomes
sloppy as if the book were tossed off to make some money on the e-Book
market. It's as if someone else wrote this book and used the author's
name. I'm disappointed. Alas, it gets worse, the book ends in the middle
of the story with the plot totally unresolved--and I paid good money for
this manipulation.
