So I guess this is how this works; interesting. I've never bothered with a blog before, so let me know if I stink at making one. Or managing one. I mean, God, people, I don't even tumbl with any modicum of e-grace. Oh well.
The purpose of this enterprise (at present) is to maintain a blog based on the book Mystic River, by Dennis Lehane, a Crime & Mystery novel centered around the miserable lives and traumatic experiences of three men, their wives, and their offspring.* For my own selfish reasons (aka, my GPA), the majority of these posts will be from the viewpoint of a character of my choice; Jimmy Marcus.
Jimmy Marcus is a former child-delinquent with an unnatural hatred for his daughter's secret boyfriend. As a child, he was a loose cannon; cocky, impoverished, mercurial, and capable of a complete disregard for the laws and general guidelines of modern society. After his stint in prison as a young adult, Jimmy stepped up to become a loving father of three, a caring husband, and a reasonably respectable member of society. The mother of his first child, Katie, has been dead for years; now Katie is too, murdered the night before she left town for good. Jimmy's not so willing to sit idle anymore.
*For the record, this is a character profile, not a shimmering, glittering, and outstandingly gushy book review. You'll have to find someone else for that; online, I exhume sarcasm and irritation like normal humans do carbon dioxide.
