Conversations While Traveling the Circle

"Conversations While Traveling the Circle" is a modern saga of people who came to adulthood in the 1960s. With its backdrops of the Cuban Missile Crisis, John F. Kennedy's assassination, the Vietnam War, and current issues all Americans face in this new century, this is a book both for the people moving toward life's departure gates as well as for those waiting to bid them goodbye. The underlying theme of the book is how the American West and its culture shape the lives of Jordan Roblech and Buck Leherifen as they build a surrogate father-sons relationship with has-been singing movie cowboy Flash Golden and make their way through bedrooms and barrooms from the Texas Plains to the Pacific Northwest. There is no shortage of romance and sex, including episodes that dispel the notion that ED medications are necessary ingredients for life after forty. The novel also features a Mexican drug operation that creates a knotted mystery not unraveled until the final pages.
