Drawing Down the Moon

Cable TV personality Ricky Gold has problems. He’s on the run from a bad relationship. He hasn’t shown up for work in a week. His iPhone is at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico.And now his life is about to be turned upside down...It starts when he meets Kada - as in Cicada - in the middle of West Texas, and finds himself intrigued by her name, her tattoo, and the way an angry redneck chases her out of a bar. When someone close to Kada turns up dead their flight begins, first from an assassin...then two...then from every law enforcement officer in a five-state area.Thoroughly unequipped for a life on the run, Ricky and Kada must depend on each other while struggling against their own mutual attraction - a factor that could prove fatal.Drawing Down the Moon is equal parts Hitchcockian thriller and romantic comedy, filled with memorable characters. It’s a witty screwball noir thriller that follows Ricky and Kada as they fight to survive - and hope to find some really great Chinese food.
