Searching for Errol Flynn

Searching for Errol Flynn is a coming-of-age memoir detailing my journey into adulthood--a period piece set in the late '70s to early '80s. The only road map I had for this difficult journey was to mimic my matinee idol, Errol Flynn. And while Captain Blood, pirates, and Robin Hood of Sherwood Forest make for a fun diversion, they will only get you so far in the modern world.

A rollicking coming-of-age early '80s memoir that encompasses valuable lessons for men of all ages, as well as women. Football, comedy, Southern culture, forbidden '80s behavior, love, Errol Flynn worship, Myrtle Beach days, race relations, et al., are part of the story. The novel tracks my journey from a selfish wannabe rogue pirate to a stand-up good guy via attempting to walk on to football at Ohio University--a legendary party school, Myrtle Beach hazy days, intermittent stand-up comedy, first love, diverse musical influences, and a plethora of currently frowned-upon '70s behavior, such as hitchhiking, excessive partying, and wanton violence.

The novel utilizes these colorful stories to delve into a diverse collection of topics, including relationships, race, religion, and ultimately becoming a good man.
