About the Book

Something in Cecil Cotton's miserable life was about to give. It was only months before the end of 1999 and the 24-year-old Texan was backpacking Europe looking for anything that would give him a reason not to worry about the future. As he made his way across the continent on a quest for nerve-damaging alcohol, he confronted the most horrifying characters ever assembled outside the walls of a mental institution. Their influence, and his fascination with history's most notorious liquor, eventually led to Cecil's decision of submitting to Stone Age cranial surgery as a way of conquering depression and anxiety.

About the Author

Brad Pierce is a crime reporter who lives with a harem of glue-sniffing teenage runaways at a heavily guarded, but undisclosed, location outside Washington, D.C. He is currently working on a novel entitled "Cowboy Juice," which is a semi-autobiographical account of rodeo hijinks, bucking horses and whip-wielding women. Constant agitation caused by jackhammers and gunshots in his neighborhood has led him to also begin drafting a book criticizing television news coverage of the Lincoln assassination.
