Picture a day spent climbing a mountain of burnt out suns. Suns that didn't go *poof*, but instead became dried out husks, warm to the touch, but no longer blazing balls of flame. Picture the next day sailing across the ocean on a small sailing ship that guides itself with the aid of two crusty old eyeballs placed in the mast.

Having a hard time with those images? Of course not! If a tried-and-true screw-up like Sergio can live it, you can easily dream it! Sergio is the not-so-classic hero we all secretly are: unsure, unreasoning, unwilling, but wholely in love, and willing to do anything for that love. Even if his adventure leads to a misshapen zombie who will only want death to sweep her off her crumbling feet before gravity does!

In Deadwind Sea, Josh has done the very thing we've watched and waited for these past two long decades: He's achieved the whimsical reality in a book, and shown his heart to the world. Deadwind Sea rambles like Josh on an all-night Finnegans coffee bender, and flows as smoothly as the same addled man sitting in a bean-bag chair strumming lightly on his 6-string. In a single book, this man tells as many stories as that which most novelists fill the ill-used "series", and yet manages to make the many into one.

Deadwind Sea is a Mobius Strip of adventure and romance and history. Don't take your eyes off of it, and you may just find your way back to where you started, from whence you came.
