Jody Rogers thought she was taking charge of her life, so why does it feel like everything is spinning out of control? In the space of twenty-four hours, Jody has quit her dead-end job as a waitress at Dean's Ocean Galley, dumped her two-timing boyfriend (after catching him in the shower with her cousin!), and set out to jump-start her stalled twenty-something existence. Unfortunately, both jobs and men are scarce in the small seaside town of Bent Harbor, so Jody quickly finds herself single, homeless, and unemployed--just in time for her ten-year high school reunion! Nobody seems to know what Jody should do with her life. Not her hookup-happy best friend. Not her psycho not-so-secret admirer. Not her amiable pothead brother. Not even her loving-but-unsupportive parents, who have already turned her childhood bedroom into a cozy arts-and-crafts studio. And least of all Jody, who can't understand how all her dreams have gone so wrong. With no prospects, romantic or otherwise, on the horizon, can Jody somehow manage to turn her life around--before she goes completely out of her mind?

Going Coastal is an epic tale of transformation. It is an autobiographical account of the struggles of first time author, Hugh Mongous Johnson and details many of the challenges encountered by the author over the course of the final twenty years of the twentieth century. The audience is brought along on the rollercoaster ride of the aspiring artist/ musician after he graduates high school in 1980 and leaves the dysfunction of a broken home in the Midwest and makes the journey, in a round about way, to California and the west coast of the US, in pursuit of a career in the arts. It is a coming of age story and provides the reader with a detailed version of the true facts surrounding the experience, not only in crossing the North American continent, but also of a young man transformed into adulthood void the benefit of parental guidance or support. The book is intended to be an inspirational story, written in the uncensored, gonzo style and directed toward a mature audience.
