A Ribald Tale of the Road

About the Book

Billy and Juan stop in Roadkill, Montana, each week after bouncing around in their 18-wheeler delivering goods to convenience stores. The road’s routine leads them into mischief, where you’ll meet the colorful townspeople of Roadkill.

Sheriff Willowtree questions why Billy is driving through the town with Juan perched on top of the semi-trailer, screaming his lungs out. Billy says Juan is turbo-breathing: sucking air into his lungs to give more power to his piston to prepare for his tryst with Annie, the town hooker.

Jessica, lovely owner of Roadkill’s cafe, is lonely and confused as her feelings for Billy build. With Billy she can talk about things most townspeople won’t discuss. But he is an out-of-town trucker, always on the move.

Sensual Kate, daughter of a local rancher, has no reservations. She is immediately drawn to Billy when they meet at a revival meeting. Billy is equally enamored with Kate as well, but there’s the little problem of her fiancé, a former college boxing champion.

And then there are the Three Montanans; Dave, Pete, and Rigor Mortis Mike, who give Billy and Juan a run for their money when it comes to playing pranks. Who will win?
