About this title

About the Author

J.D. Brayton Born in Rhode Island and raised in south Florida, J.D. Brayton learned how to survive by instant narrative- the kind that keeps a fellow from falling afoul of the law, being bruised by land pirates, crazed cocaine cowboys and broken hearted lovers. The cadence of dialect, the street-level humor and wily warm tones of southern vernacular has always been a sublime symphony to his ears. In his own words ~ Faulkner Don t Tweet. Soul cannot be abridged.

Review

South Florida Weirdness Perfectly Depicted June 28, 2014 This is one amazing first novel. The images, the wild characters, the total insanity of S. Florida - it all comes at you at top speed. I can't put this book down. Wild animals importers, seamy characters, sleazy pet shop owners, a hurricane, and lots of bizarre crime - it's just a great, great read. --By aria4567

Hold On To Your Hat! July 10, 2014 The Clabber Grrrl's retreat is one wild ride. This book captures the insanity that is S. Florida to a T. It delves into the underbelly of this most interesting peninsula and introduces us to an array of memorable characters, from wigged-out Seminoles to Latino smugglers and the cracker aristocracy. I can't get enough of it. --By Geedee

Once you start to read this book you can't put it down! July 16, 2014 This is a story that lends itself to the underbelly of South Florida, with characters that resemble six degrees of separation to the unearthed reality of the unique illegal activites in the sunshine state. The characters breathe so much life into the story that it is hard to put down. The subplots keep you on the edge of your seat...as it seems just when you feel you know the next move a twist throws you for a ride. If you love the work of Hunter S. Thompson, Quentin Tarantino and George Pelecanos this is a must read. A fictional story with a realistic dash of inheritance based on events as they unfold in the pre and post Hurricane Andrew era. Character evolution and connectivity is second to none is JD Brayton's new Post-Gonzo Crime Pulp novel! --Bryan C. Palerino
