Helgi feels trapped. And like any good prisoner, he thinks about escape. Every day. While dutifully working for his parents in the Florida Motel, he desperately craves a normal life. But there is nothing normal about the motel biz. It’s more akin to a state of insanity! Attending college at the local university is his path to normalcy, where scantily clad coeds, a raucous Halloween Ball and the hidden “Stacks” of the old stone library provide a much-needed distraction, if not peace of mind, from the crazy events and characters at the motel. When he meets a girl—the girl— on campus, Helgi bumbles his way through his first real love. Threatened by a frat boy with GQ looks and money, he seeks sage advice from a surprising source.From prostitutes to creepy professors, Helgi faces threats to him, his family and the relationship with the love of his life. Will he get the girl and find normalcy or remain a prisoner of the Florida Motel?

Jay Gilbert was born and raised on a farm in Duluth, MN. One of five boys, his father kept them out of trouble (mostly) with a host of daily chores caring for horses, cows, chickens and ducks. If it mooed, clucked or quacked, they had it. If they weren't feeding the animals at the front end, they were shoveling what came out of the back end. His family owned and operated small businesses ranging from a ship chandlery, vacuum shop, electronics store and a motel. Their businesses took them from Minnesota to Illinois and finally Florida. Between farm life and family business, he has collected an eclectic inventory of experiences that are the basis for his stories. Jay lives and writes by the lessons his parents taught him. Dad always said "Life is not a dress rehearsal. There are no do-overs." Mom taught us how to say, "Please" and "Thank you" and mean it.
