Detroit Daze-A coming of age, gang fiction novel set in the seventies in Detroit, Michigan

Aug. 8, 2011 - PRLog -- In this third novel of The John Oxman Voyages, read about the forces that shaped the hard luck, hit man while growing up as a gang banger on the gritty streets of Detroit, Michigan.  Meet Berwyn, the half breed Cherokee who led The Ravine Gang by channeling the dark powers of Jim Morrison, The Lizard King.  Dino, the six and a half foot tall, drug dealing karate expert was his only match.  Oxman, and the rest of the misfits who banded together to fight turf wars, were expendable.  Set in the early seventies against the background of the Vietnam War, this coming of age story will take you back in time to the bad old days of free love and expensive hate.  Nostalgia is for survivors and suckers.  Watch the book trailer video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPV9ID3QAHE
