This coming-of-age novel follows a coterie of friends from kindergarten through high school, college, marriage, and beyond during the swing era in small-town America. Though there has been a murder, it is not a mystery. Though the victim returns as a ghost/guardian angel, it is not a ghost story.

Hotsy -- a Narrative History This is an elaboration on a true story told to me by a wino called Tokay Red over fifty years ago in Pete and Gil Rocha's tramp labor camp in Greenfields, California. I believe the original Hog Head Mama and her daughter lived in Fresno, but I have no idea what their real names were.
