The King of Topaz Street

About the Book

Set against the bright lights of Hollywood, the dark dive bars of the Southbay and glistening Pacific Ocean, The King of Topaz Street is a wild ride through the world of small time gambling, event parties and California surf. The author weaves a classic tale of loyalty and redemption with razor sharp wit, yet at its core, The King of Topaz Street is an unabashed love story that proves even when sparks fly, sometimes it takes a second chance to get it right.
