Set in the Central Coast of California, The Violin Face chronicles the lives of people who don’t know how to live, as they get high, ride dirt bikes, love each other, hate each other, apply for disability, lose their virginity, sit in the ghostly light of fishtanks, fail their children, fail their parents, get out of prison and go to prison. Told in a rapidly shifting first person point of view, The Violin Face depicts humanity as both monstrous and beautiful.The Violin Face was published in Fall of 2010 by a small indie publisher, Xou Books, in Australia. It is available in the US on Amazon.com.
