A dim-witted peeping tom named Mason Baker witnesses the murder of a woman. It’s the second body found in a week. The whole town has been talking about it. He follows the perpetrator around to watch what he does. But the killer isn’t the only one Mason’s been watching.
Mason has a crush on Haley Windsor. He watches her get undressed, he follows her to work, he keeps an eye on her family farm and works for her parents when he can. Haley doesn’t mind him watching, in fact, she may even like it.
But things go sideways when the one who is doing the killing takes an interest in Haley too. What will Mason do, if anything, to help Haley Windsor.
Moon Train Passenger Ride
Moss Huxley is pained with the idea of having to live in the shadow of his parents. Ballard Stod is an orphan who's always been forced to figure things out for himself. They're both disillusioned with society, but neither of them has the remedy to fix it. Ballard thinks the answer involves a religion thousands of years old. Moss isn't so sure.
The adventures at Happy Burger and all the other rib-tickling exploits provide them with a unique sense of justice. However, Moss and Ballard's irreverent sense of humor soon takes an unexpected turn when a series of self-imposed mishaps force them to leave town. They take the Moon Train to a Zoroastrian temple compound nestled in the Lost Coast of California where they meet Ohrmazd, a Zoroastrian magus who takes them on a ride they'll never forget.
Take a mind walk through Moss and Ballard's world and see it the way they do. This dark and hysterical book will keep you guessing right up to the end!!
