I’m currently working on a novel tentatively titled Waiting On The End Of The World, and, yes, I think it falls into a similar vein. The catalyst behind the story is that these two addicts go to buy methamphetamine and while the dealer is showing off firearms that he took in from customers as payment for drugs he accidentally kills himself. In an instant, two very ill-equipped people have a pile of guns and money and drugs at their disposal, and what ultimately ensues is a meth-fueled race toward disaster. More than that, though, the novel seems to be about the pasts that paint our futures. It seems to be about the ghosts that follow us through our lives and the impact those ghosts have on the decisions we make. I think it’s about the burdens we carry with us as we make our way through this world.

Hey David I just finished your book " Where all the light tends to go", and Im still coming down from the high off the book. I've been craving a book this amazing since I read Dean Koontz's " velocity". At type of story where you're sure you know what's going to happen next. Basically thank you for this amazing story and sharing your talent. Is your 2017 book the same genre?
