Dawn's Hwy - final cut!
Good Moooooring Goodreads!
July 3rd marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Jim Morrison. In January 1966 Jim disappeared into the desert with two friends, Felix Venable and Phil O'Leno. Jim and Felix reappeared in L.A. a couple of days later with a wild story of killing Phil and burying him in the desert. Dawn's Hwy is a fictionalized account of that event.

“I blew into L.A. streaking down the freeway, the song "L.A. Woman" blasting out of the car speakers, the wind in my hair, the music in the wind. The first thing you notice about L.A. is that it’s overflowing with people, tourists, the homeless, the starstruck, it was like an old fashioned boom town, a few ghosts wandered it’s streets but it was still booming, if L.A. lived off the people that were successful, the city would be awfully empty.”

“Isatai started chanting, drums pounding, the rhythm gathered and met the beat of their hearts, and that sound matched their thoughts. It was one sound they could hear, then they felt a deep pounding of hooves vibrating through their bodies. As they stared into the fire they saw the face of a great buffalo, its mane, flame. It grew in their eyes, engulfing them in its spirit, the vision raced through their hearts like an engine.”

“Mackenzie, our profession courts death, madness is always just over the next rise, the next hillock…” Sherman’s voice dropped off, “I’m out in that landscape wavering between madness and sanity. Be careful Mackenzie you don’t cross over that rise and find yourself in the arid desert of madness … I fear it is this desert for me.”

There was me thinking you were moonlighting. Yeah, it's worth seeing if GR would reassign. I won't bother to read it now then!
I wonder if it is me? Or some other Jim Cherry? I mean I have on my profile that Loco For Lizards book written by Jim Cherry, but its not me and Goodreads won't reassign it (I should probably talk to them about it again).
