Confiscation Blues

Confiscation Blues – Notes from the Author

In Confiscation Blues, Denver resident Eric is arrested for driving young, while leaving Colorado. The humorous story follows Eric as he deals with the aftermath of the arrest and carries on with his life.

Confiscation Blues is the latest of my Colorado books. In order, the books are:

Some Denver-based Confiscation Blues characters are introduced in the short stories, thus these characters may appear to be underdeveloped, if the reader begins reading with Confiscation Blues. Readers would be best served reading Upside Down and Car Noir first, before reading Confiscation Blues. Upside Down is really good. Car Noir is interesting, but not as good as Upside Down.

The Colorado books use humor to mitigate these themes:

When weed dispensary owner Lela has conversations and arguments, they generally regard weed legalization and weed prohibition. There are other weed-oriented observations along the way, like the Colorado solution to the theft of mile marker 420 signs, a high point in Confiscation Blues.

Eric has the confiscation blues. His arrest facilitated the confiscation of his car. After the events in Kansas, Eric transitions through Denver, on the way to a new job in western Colorado. As Eric carries on with his life, some threads of the story remain unresolved, until later. And, his new life adds threads that need to be resolved.
