Ken wakes up one morning in a motel. While he tries to remember how he got there, a more pressing question emerges: where will he go from here? -- "What begins as a 'Hangover'-esque mystery develops into a real-time examination of how we spend our years, and the priceless value of taking a step back from our lives. Penned with an informal, conversational tone that often dips into stream-of-consciousness prose, the main character's reinvention of his life keeps the story interesting. A quick and entertaining slice of escapism, Blackout is ideal for anyone who has ever dreamed of dropping everything to start somewhere new." Self-Publishing Review
