The grimy road story of a fictional punk band who get to know each other far more than they want to, cooped up in a crap-beaten van on their first tour.
This is a peculiar odyssey of archetypical music scene types, lies and discovery, a thieving runaway, a coming-out story, and flaming chest hair...all underscored by a bizarre curse.

"So much good in Loose Gravel. The pacing and plot was great - no lags in the action, and I always wanted to find out what was going to happen next. Lots of hilarious moments, but the jokes were always well balanced with the more dramatic, and sometimes horrifying, moments. Not a one-dimensional book at all. But where Loose Gravel really shines is in the characters, and their development. None of the characters were static, or caricatures - they were all multi-faceted, and changed and revealed more of themselves as the story progressed. I was sad to say goodbye to the gang when I was finished."
Andy Bova
"The writing style of Loose Gravel is hip and engaging, and the reader experiences the jagged reality of life on the road with a fictitious punk band. I loved how the start of each chapter placed me smack dab in the middle of some calamity or tour date, and then as the chapter progressed all the details were revealed. The people and places are described in fluid, full-sensory detail. I felt like I was THERE, a friend hanging around with the band. And the ending is pretty surprising! A great read with tons of twists and turns to keep you banging your head to the music you KNOW you can hear with your inner ears!"
Shawna Heist, guitarist for Artificial Dissemination
"This book was so good that I slowed down my reading because I didn’t want to see the words The End. If you have been in a band that did a mini tour or an extended tour you will absolutely understand and love this story. If you have never been in a band you will understand the sacrifices musicians make to travel to your town. Buy this book!!"
Brad Sims, former drummer for The Didjits
