Here are a few authors that are friends of mine and their books which I highly recommend.

​

Jack Preston King, author of A World in Edgewise: Thirteen Sidereal Adventures, In Defense of Magical Thinking, The Language of Dreams. Jack is not only a talented fiction author he is also one of the most astute philosophical and societal commentators to come along. Jack Preston King.com.

​

Douglas Lumsden who wrote A Troll Walks into a Bar. It's a hybrid of fantasy and hardcore detective story (think Raymond Chandler) set in a fictional San Franscisco. His novels have spun off to two series. All highly readable and enjoyable. Douglas Lumsden.com.

​

Bob Batchelor his website says he's a cultural historian having written a biography of Stan Lee, Gatsby: A Cultural History of The Great American Novel, & Roadhouse Blues: Morrison, The Doors, and the Death Days of the Sixties. Bob Batchelor.com

​

With my close association with The Doors a lot of people ask, 'what's the meaning behind The Doors' songs/Jim Morrison's poetry?' Doug Franks seeks to answer that/those questions in his Jim Morrison: Fables of the Fall vol 1. and Jim Morrison: Fables of the Fall Val. 2. These books are easily readable books that come closest to what I think Jim Morrison may have been getting at while acknowledging that your interpretation is as valid as his or any other writer.

​

Are you looking for a good Neon-Noir detective story? Then Dominic Piper's Daniel Beckett Private Investigator series is what you're looking for. Check out the book trailer for Like Bottled Fire.

​

Richard Holeman's The Boy who Glowed in the Dark is a fantasy, speculative fiction story I greatly enjoyed.

​

Gazing into the Abyss: The Poetry of Jim Morrison: A Critical Analysis, by William Cook.

The Doors FAQ: All That's Left to Know About the Kings of Acid Rock, by Rich Weidman.
