Experience a classic transformation myth told within a contemporary novel. In the genre of Zen and the Art, Whiskey Myths brings philosophy and mythology into the world of modern fiction.

Whiskey Myths - A contemporary novel

The story Whiskey Myths is rock-and-roll fiction with an experimental structure. Van Blackmar lives in the Valley of Dregs and Skidders -- a slow death of a place. She sits alone in her room with only books and her music. Obsessed with her favorite album, Whiskey Myths, the band's story is also told through rock lyrics, journal pages, even a manifesto.

Restless - A modern myth

Van writes to escape, and her transformation myth appears in full text interspersed through Whiskey Myths. Come on a journey with the Dregs and Skidders, the introverts, Old Woman Vera, Copperman and Julian Wiseblood.

Read first 10 pages.

Buy and download Whiskey Myths here as an e-novel or traditional printed book. A novel that took eight years to come together, I feel it's a significant book of our era that explores the role or even need for religion in modern times.
