“Jeff's new novel is hilarious. I loved it. I'm no stranger to the decorative art interior design world, particularly in south Florida and this book had me laughing out loud, and almost a little traumatized as the hero moves through a rapidly increasing implosion of impossible painting pressures, societal angst, romantic chaos and search for meaning. Never mind solving the mystery of the kinky cherubs. Every character, every situation, rings true. The pace of the action reaches fever pitch throughout the story. You won't be able to put it down until the last hilarious denouement. I was exhilarated.”

“Jeff has crafted a compelling story of love, mystery and intrigue set in the Florida art world. He introduces a cast of colorful characters from all social and political persuasions, young and old. There is ample sex and humor that caused me to laugh out loud and there is an over-the-top party that I would have loved to attend.
Anyone without Jeff's deep knowledge of painting and the art business could not have written this novel and as a retired art museum director I have a special appreciation for Jeff's insight. Bravo Jeff!!”

SYNOPSIS:

Rudy is at the center of this humorous story about a young artist caught in a series of art calamities in an ultra-rich Florida coastal community. He can’t sell his controversial personal art so he’s hired to paint pretty things on the walls of million-dollar condos. He is behind schedule and working frantically while struggling to maintain a relationship with his museum curator girlfriend, Linda. She is also dating Oliver, a wealthy real estate developer. The destitute Rudy can’t compete with Oliver’s fancy car and big house but he doesn’t want to lose Linda. Then Rudy and Linda get caught up in an accidental art crime that has to be resolved in three days. And Rudy must meet his décor job deadlines or he’ll lose several clients. At the same time, the owner of a posh art gallery retires and the old man wants to give the gallery to an art organization. Rudy gets enlisted by his bohemian art student neighbors to help them win the space. It all happens at once and as Rudy goes without sleep, he begins hallucinating that perverted cherubs are harassing him.
