Betwixt and Between

What happens when a fictional character rebels against his author?

Meet Johnny Marathon; he's actually meeting himself for the first time too, having woken up with no memory in a strange version of New York City where nothing exists beyond the city's limits and people have weird descriptions as names.

Johnny is desperate for answers: why is he in the Big Apple, where is the woman he loves, who created him and why an earlier version of himself was killed off.

To secure his present and guarantee his future, he must take charge of his life, outrun a bizarre array of gangsters, cops, and dastardly foes with questionable motives. Is he the hero of a pulse-pounding thriller, or just another character about to be thrown out with the rest of a trashed manuscript?

Author has written three other books. He is originally from Tennessee and now lives and writes in Bangkok, Thailand.
