Bedtime Stories: A Novel of Cinematic Wanderlust

Bedtime Stories is a film lover's dream read. Jake Spinner shows movies and collects stories. Jake is the cinematic wanderer whose travels and life story are told in Bedtime Stories. Jake's life is filled with coffee, movies, buffalo, donuts, tuxedos, trucks, cedar chests, polar bears, the fiery hooch of the steppes, cold weather horses, kittens, Parisian circuses, urban rodeo, pizza, Hell's Angels, Buddhists, gunslingers, Ziegfeld follies strippers, projection bulbs, cowboy artists, clarinets, opera houses, guitar shops, floods, tightrope walkers, hot digs, poets, hobos, philosopher mechanics, woodstoves, amorous weightlifters, Raquel Welch doubles, abandoned towns, incendiary acts of malfeasance, Ruby Sauce, pakoras, right wing vigilantes, post offices, and the occasional flood of biblical proportions. There's even a romance or two along the way, proving that good things happen when your life is freed from the restrictions of gravity and time. Bedtime Stories gives adults the same sense of wonder that children have when read to before going to sleep. It is a delightful blend of A.A. Milne's, Winnie the Pooh, and Miguel de Cervante's, Don Quixote. Simply a joy to take to bed each night.
