About the Book

Havershed County is a place east of the Pacific and west of the Atlantic, north of Mexico and probably a little too close for comfort to Canada for Canada's liking, quite frankly. It's a place for loners, lovers, thieves, poets, goofballs, slackers, drunks, and a few piles of normal seeming people who live normal lives, most of the time. Except that one time when they didn't. Really, it's more a state of mind, but isn't everyplace? Here, amedeo shares some stories from Havershed County and around those parts.
About the Author: Amedeo Lupi is one exciting son of a bitch. Born, he was raised in the Tokyo subway system but after losing a football bet his father was forced to hand him over to early communists. His new 'family' forced him to write the draft of what would become Mao Ze Dung's "Little Red Book," for which he receives no royalties due to his standing as an "enemy of the proletariat." After escaping their clutches on a hovercraft driven by a temporarily blinded Elvis Presley, he moved to Oceania where he attended a school run by hyper-intelligent squirrels. There, he was considered present, but excelled at lunch-table poker. Following his graduation speech entitled "The Poor and How to Abuse Them" he was exiled, and banned from Canada for like at least a week. On his post-graduate mosey around the earth, Amedeo made his bones with the murder of an NYC police captain, after which he fled to Sicily, where he invented the Slinky, "Catcher in the Rye," and World Peace, for which he has gone extremely unpaid. After his failed marriage to the late Jackie Onassis, he took up world conquest for hire. First working for the PLO, then NBC, he was later hired by arch-supervillian Lex Luthor in a plot involving three tons of chili that was foiled by former Buffalo Bill and US Congressman Jack Kemp. For these crimes, Amedeo - or Abraham Lincoln as many texts refer to him - spent three decades dead, which wound up working great for tax purposes. After his resurrection during a poorly planned high school science experiment that also produced world hunger, Amedeo wandered the world for seven years, fathering well over 6,000 children, and holding down mostly part-time jobs with various metaphysical corporations. This walkabout ended in the toy department of a K-Mart, when he realized there was not yet an action figure in his likeness. Things began to get interesting, however, when he failed to return a library book on time, and so was pursued across space/time by a pissed off Hercules, who also wanted the book - but for his own nefarious purposes. People of all ages and races have at one time or another made threats against his person, which he comprehends, but forgives. They were all probably just trying to do their jobs. He has been lost in the Adirondacks, New Mexico, Las Vegas, and his back yard. He has been known to sing and dance, badly, for no given reason. Amedeo is currently at work on his 2nd, 3rd, and 5th novels concurrently, but slowly. He is 34 going on 12.
