NaNoWriMo 2014: "Freeway 1979"


While I polish up the second draft of "A Filipino Cookbook", I'm pulling double duty and writing my second novel, Freeway 1979.  I'll be tracking it at the NaNoWriMo dashboard here: http://nanowrimo.org/participants/edwardianjackal/novels/freeway-1979/stats.

The story finds a young Trevor Bogues working his fingers to the bone for his family and scrapping by.  He learns of a yearly race to Mexico in an attempt of an underworld boss seeking new drivers for border crossings.  One day, a few hours, free gas and three hours to Mexico.  The winnings are a purge of $500 and everything to lose.
