Thinking of changing your name, moving away and starting all over? Then meet Maynard Skidmore, floundering radiohead and would-be writer who is at the fifty yard line of a poorly scripted life that might easily claim "The Deadbolt Chronicles" as a working title.
After much soul searching, Skidmore relocates to Arizona where he quickly crosses paths with Gypsy Kahn — carnival master, video game developer and all around oddball — who provides a psychological stress reducer for Skidmore in the form of a newly developed computer game that helps him cope with his past so he can focus on a more promising future.
But Kahn is on a covert assignment from his ‘boss’ and draws Skidmore into an unsuspecting setup that forces him to choose between two different worlds. He agonizes over his choice — even though he knows one is temporary and the other forever.
Will Skidmore see a glass half full? Or a glass half empty?
Or an ice cold tumbler of the usual blues?
And just who is this Gypsy Kahn, anyway?
~“Personally, I like fiction that doesn't immediately provide answers readers may have about characters and situations," says Magoo, "but rather allows enough time for a reader to wonder about them, think about them, to reflect on the options and the variables. In that sense, reading becomes truly interactive.
"The DreamCoach (one word) is just such a work. The method and manner of 'time travel' is presented as the kind that resists the fantastic, the frivolous and the quasi-historical in favor of putting an introspective face on the human condition in matters of emotion, social psychology, and spirituality. All set on a contemporary, surreal stage with humor enough for readers to laugh out loud at least once, and enough of a serious literary bent for them to roll a passage over the tongue a couple of times for the full savory nuance of the entire pot of Stoo.”
