Barking At Yesterday's Moon Mike Grant

In this sequel to "White Wolf Moon"* the usual suspects are at it again. Ex-Sixties rockers/folk musicians Evan Morris and Danny Mann feature prominently in one misadventure after another. Evan's confrontation with a rifle-toting hillbilly while researching the background of his wolfdog sets off a week packed with uncharacteristic behavior for the sixty-something singer, from vandalizing a teen-ager's car to a brush with the law in Edmonton, Alberta. These needed and oft times comedic contrasts to his staid life are overshadowed by the death of another former band member from the Sixties. At the celebration of life "muck-up" Evan grapples with thoughts of a life that might have been and treads a trail of rediscovery with more questions than answers. "Barking at Yesterday's Moon" is about relationships and friendships that last forever, old rock and roll bands, a musician's life on the road, and wolfdogs. It's about finding that balance between what was and what is and realizing that it's what we've done that makes us what we are. *Every effort has been made to allow this work to stand alone. The chapter "Jenn's Story" briefly recounts the contents of the first novel and any references to that first book have been clarified in the narrative or dialogue.
