About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
HAIR of the dog.
The vodka is fighting the tomato juice, but it does the trick, and I mitigate the vagaries of selling popcorn at the Kane County Fair with ten screaming Cub Scouts, Bloody Mary firmly in hand, shades firmly affixed. The margaritas from the night before are a headache I’d rather be doing without, but osmosis and a little old-fashioned self medicating has gotten me to the point where I can drive Cub Scouts and be the charming father of two, husband of one. But I have to make a decision.
We are constantly presented with rules that we can either choose to follow or break. Does one go through the unmanned toll? Does one pay for the case of water in the bottom of the shopping cart that no one sees? They are small, middle class rules, but rules all the same. My choice is simple. Do I take the time to hang a big looping U-turn and return to the highway for the Dairy Queen I missed … or do I cut into the McDonald’s parking lot and plow across an excavated field of old pipes and earth movers, past the surveyor posts flapping like markers of the road not taken?
These are the choices of our lives now. The big choices are mostly behind us by middle age, and we are reduced to schoolboys trying to whisper when the teacher’s back is turned.
What the hell. (Chapter 1, page 11)
This is a Adult Fiction story that centres around Dale Hammer and his attempts to find his part of the American Dream. In a story of hilarious consequences, we find Dale in one week accused of cutting down the sign to his subdivision, plagued with a father who has come to live over his garage, and on the hook for being Rocket Man for his son’s Scout Troop. While the price of the American Dream has become nothing short of being rich and famous, Dale heads for the catastrophe of Rocket Day with one mission–to give his son a sense of independence, and in the process, find himself.
William Elliott Hazelgrove’s ROCKET MAN is a brilliant piece of writing, a work that meticulously dissects contemporary life in America with such a keen eye that the author is able to catch at least passing glances at us all. Hazelgrove is a facile, witty, enormously gifted wordsmith, a writer able to find the extraordinary in even the most mundane. This novel of life in the suburbs rings true on every page and takes no prisoners. A truly great read.
Deftly constructed at 390 pages, Rocket Man is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Fiction category. With Global wholesale distribution through all the major bookstores, and pervasive online availability through TheEbookSale.com, Fictionwise.com and elsewhere, Rocket Man meets consumer demand with a suggested retail price of $9.95, respectively.
