Description

_I was sitting in a Hollywood Hawaiian hotel. I was staring in my empty coffee cup. I was thinking that the gypsy wasn't lying: all the salty margaritas in Los Angeles? I'm gonna drink 'em up. And, if California slides into the ocean like the mystics and statistics say it will, I predict this motel will be standing… until I pay my bill._

_Desperadoes Under The Eaves_ is a tale of love, drugs, monsters, fugitives, and shifting perceptions set in an unusual California hotel. Inspired by the musical works of Warren Zevon, _Desperadoes_ blends urban fantasy, modern noir, and grim humor into a frothy cocktail and serves it up cold and sweet, but with a kick. Expect lawyers, guns, money, and a handful of lycanthropes of British descent.

Familiarity with the source material is not necessary, but those who recognize the characters or have an appreciation for the macabre wit that marks the songs are likely to have a better time.
