Velocipede

The History Channel called today. A woman is

researching for a television show on velocipedes

and she found out through the internet colossus

that I wrote a book called Velocipede.

Unfortunately, I had to let her know it was

a novel. She laughed, we hung up. Almost

my big break. A swimming pool and platinum

Hollywood pearls seep through my hands.

Afterwards, I wished I could have sent her

a copy. Written and self-published in 2002,

Velocipede takes place on the border of Aztlan.

It's a 3 part storyline featuring:

1) A factory worker who makes velocipedes.

2) A wrestler named Clover and his manager.

3) A U.S government agent, who runs out of

gas in the desert, "with his long cape of stars,

red sleeves rolled up to his elbows and blue

legs standing amid the cactus."
