Ryan E Long

Living on the Happy Edge of Anarchy Ryan E Long

"Sex, money, & murder." The words are tattooed on a cocaine cowboy's arm. The cowboy is Jack Egan's "cousin." When Jack was 18, he'd often ask himself: is that all life is? One fateful night in L. A., Jack's answer would change his life forever.

Discover how shady Sicilians, an Amsterdam transvestite, and a Brooklyn street pharmacist helped Jack understand that life changing decision. These unsavory characters - plus savory ones - are brought to life in this satirical crime thriller, an Amazon top 3 new hot comedy release in 2013.

If you let them, the most questionable of strangers can be your best friends. They can have better insights into your problems than your straight-laced friends. And, unlike a therapist who is on the clock, the stranger that fate puts in your path can call it like it is. Their seemingly rude objectivity can help you to better deal with your problems.

The rest is up to you.
