From our latest completed novel, Freak Farm...

 

The Dowd Farms entry in the 1954 Labor Day Parade in Harrington, Delaware.

“Ladies and gentlemen, between the covers of this book lurks a yarn so bizarre and strangely hilarious as to boggle the senses.

“Return with us to those thrilling days of 1954 and be amazed by the gross stupidity of do-gooders who close down the carnival freak show depriving the members of this trans-mundane pageant of their only source of honest income.

“Be moved by the kindness of the leader of a local outlaw biker gang who gives the down-on-their-luck side-show performers jobs at his farm’s roadside stand.

“For the price of a single admission you can marvel as a posse of bikers, a midget, a two headed dog, a human cannonball, a black-listed director of “B” western movies, and a newly minted cowboy movie actor, scours the lower parts of rural Delaware to solve a heinous crime—the murder of the Seal Woman.

 

“Thrill to the action as our heroes confront Nazi war criminals set on recovering a cache of jewels and gold buried by a U-Boat crew near the end of World War II on a desolate stretch of the U.S.A.’s mid-Atlantic coast.

“You’ll be spell-bound by this tale of good versus evil, and you have my personal guarantee that this is a story so extraordinary that humankind has never before beheld its equal.”
