Two relationships stood out in Lan Henderson’s life. The amazing thing was, how he attracted two completely opposite women in the first place. One, an impulsive American blonde who didn’t have “stop” in her vocabulary. The other, a conservative Chinese violinist with a racist father. As Lan tries to adapt to living in Hong Kong, he recalls vast differences between his current life overseas and the one he lived in America. Filled with imaginative locale and told in a narrative as entertaining as it is provocative, Jeremy Morgan's first novella takes us on a dramatic journey that spans both ends of the planet and two extremes of the female personality. Where finding love can also mean finding ourselves....

The genre is a delightful mishmash of black comedy and urban drama. The story narrates the tale of Jamie London who wakes up one morning to find his world spiralling out of control. His efforts to overcome the hurdles in life invariably lead to unforeseen and hilarious consequences, and take him to places he never wished to visit in the first place.

Vámonos! (Humorous Action Adventure Novels)
EDITORIAL REVIEWS: “Bill Stephen’s Vámonos! takes a wry and realistic look at human nature and the result is fun, lively, innovative, and highly entertaining. Instead of editorial comment on the character’s foibles, the various critters do the job, and the result is often hilarious and deeply revealing. Though the protagonists get themselves into heaps of trouble, the general tone is upbeat throughout, often left me laughing out loud. I recommend ¡Vámonos! in the highest terms.” Florence Weinberg, Ph.d Author of The Storks of Caridad and Unrest in Eden “From a literary standpoint, Vámonos! is a book about good. evil, redemption, and the human condition, and it handles those elements with grace, intelligence, and wit.
