Maybe a swish.

"DSH is a master of plot. This thing moves like a thriller. It is literally one of the best things I've read all year. Darkly funny… a howling success!”

Pinckney Benedict

Miracle Boy and Other Stories

"David Scott Hay has done a something incredible – an artful book about an arty subject that doesn't drop into pretension. 'Fountain' is an affecting story about tough, interesting people who hold beauty up like Achilles' shield against a very real, very bitter, and oddly funny world. A must for fans of sharp tongues and sharp writing."

Darren Callahan

“A truly unique and imaginative combination between Alan Ball, Raymond Chandler, Kafka, Walter Mosley, Elmore Leonard and even three fingers of Mickey Spillane.”

DSH

He now lives in a valley between the ocean, the mountains, and the desert with his wife, son, dog, chickens and a dozen typewriters.

DSH Picks Your Poison – Mixology for the Author Life

What’s in the Drink Special? Experimental Mixology for the Author life. THE SAN GRALADA “Sometimes you just need something fruity and stupid.” I love pina coladas. I love sangria. Let’s start there. The Backstory CUT TO: I purchased a pack of coconut carbonated water. We drink copious amounts of flavored carbonated water like it’s, well, water. And having grown bored of Lemoncello, I thought I’d give this one a chance. 50/50 it would taste like ass. CUT TO: I had a hankering for one or the other – actually I just needed a drink and wished I could have one…

FAVE FIVE BOOKS – Level Up Your Writing

What’s in the drink special? The five best books on writing I’ve discovered to help you level up your craft as a serious writer. A must for any reference library. I keep these books handy in my reference section and dip into them when I’m stumped, looking to break that writers block, or to justify a long procrastinating lunch. I also utilize these books when teaching. A few of these books may surprise you, and you won’t find them in a how-to section of your library. I find many books are written by authors without any practical experience or credits.…
