Jack Wakes Up

What does a movie-star one-hit-wonder and ex-drug-addict do when he's cleaned up, down on his luck, and running out of money???

In the three years since Jack Palms went clean? No drugs, no drinking, no life? He's added fourteen pounds of muscle, read 83 books, and played it as straight as anyone can ask him. Now, when an old friend from L.A. calls, he hits the streets of San Francisco to help a group of Czech drug buyers make one big score, a single drug deal that he hopes will set him up for life.

But when people start turning up dead, and an old nemesis on the police force calls, Jack finds himself with just 24 hours to track down San Francisco's biggest drug supplier or face charges that will put him behind bars.

Only an Oscar-caliber performance will get him through this alive.

"Everyone has daydreams about a big score, a big hit, a mother lode that will put them on easy street. Most of us know that it's just that, a dream. But for Jack Palms, a former movie star and recovering drug addict with nothing left to lose a chance comes along that may actually be the real thing. A one time score with some euro-dealers could put Jack back on the right track, or at least a track that isn't dead ending.
Of course this being a work of fiction, a work of dark and noirish fiction at that we know it's too good to be true. Well, Jack ends up in the middle of a royal clusterf**k and the wrong decision could see him behind bars for good or just plain dead... with Harwood at the wheel this is a ride you won't forget. Twists and turns to rival a le mans track make this book an edge of your seat read. If this is Jack waking up I can't wait to see him after his coffee!"

"First he assaulted your eardrums. Now Seth Harwood's going to bash you in the eyes with the print version of his hardboied podcast hit, JACK WAKES UP. Britney and Paris are mere pikers compared to fucked-up former celebrity Jack Palms, who goes sober only to find himself neck-deep in a bigger drug mess then he ever imagined. This is an awesome debut."
--Duane Swierczynski, author of SEVERANCE PACAKGE

"A supercool cocktail of chicks, Czechs, cars and coke, JACK WAKES UP is an immaculately paced thrill-ride by a writer to watch."
--Allan Guthrie, author of 'Savage Night'
