Judge Santiago Burdon gives us another collection of short stories in adventurous mayhem with his latest book; "Lords of the Afterglow Renegades and Noblemen". Paul Gilliland Editor Publisher of Southern Arizona Press is excited to announce the release of this assortment of Bohemian tales with razor sharp slices of vivid and lurid lives that are brutal, tragic and painfully funny. Set against a backdrop of down and dirty incidents resulting from Santiago and Johnny Rico's precarious work in the drug world's sleazy underbelly. The stories are well written and Santiago's prose is clear, the language concise: spiced with the Spanish of his streetwise bilingualism. One reviewer described it as "a mesmerizing literary journey that lingers in your thoughts long after you've read the final page." There is no doubt you will experience a similar reaction after reading: ' Lords of the Afterglow Renegades and Noblemen' by: Judge Santiago Burdon. Pick up your copy today.
