LOS ANGELES – In his new book, The Honeyfools (published by AuthorHouse), debut author Tom Popcan follows four city executives from New York after the Wall Street crash as they each set out on a new adventure and journey the path of self-discovery that promises whizzing bullets and intoxicating drama.
Brothers Max and Robert MC Dougal are real Laurel-and-Hardy types, physical buffoons, snappish, witty and bold. MC Daid, a soft, witty, novel and thoughtful character, buys a textile factory and then marries Jane MC Dougal, a peckish, sharp and quick woman who is overly fond of luxury and expects to be treated like a queen. Together, the four executives lounge and party at their desert palace in the Southwest.
They have left their lives behind in New York, where they have lost their lots on Wall Street, and become wandering armed immigrants who only really seek to line their pockets at unguarded town and village banks. However, it’s not long before the four of them have a falling out over the new desert location, money and friends. Soon, two of the executives hold up the other executive and put the desert palace under siege, shooting up the house while looking for money. In the heat and aridness of the summer desert, they wait it out. The palace prisoners stage a breakout, but the cops arrive eventually for a final shootout.
When it’s all over, they throw a summer’s night party organized by Suzie McDonnell, a sweet, glamorous and romantic diva who has been MC Daid’s secretary for several years. She soon softens and turns MC Daid’s life from despair into hope, helping him through his day as a friend and assistant, but the brothers have other ideas. When the siege is broken up by the cops, they take her hostage and whisk her away on a chopper into the desert skies. Eventually, she makes her way back to the party, where MC Daid triumphs over adversity and wins the glorious heart of this queen of the desert.
Join Popcan on the thrill-ride adventure of a lifetime as his characters pitch it all and vroom into an unknown desert sunset, a place where they might just find a fairytale ending with music bands, dancers and a cartoon fireworks display. Filled with wit, humor, colorful characters and unparalleled drama, Popcan’s The Honeyfools is a spellbinding comic novel of Wall Street honeymooners in the desert outback. A riot of imagery, comedy and scenery! Popcan offers readers a nonstop 130-page dramedy that unfolds at a desert palace and will keep readers laughing until its bittersweet end.
