New Short Novel: West Coast Blues

"West Coast Blues" by C.E. Santana is a short work of fiction that takes you on a journey to an alternate reality.

Danny Rios seems to have it all—a loving family and a successful career.

Now, in this new reality, as Danny searches for answers and a way back to the life he once had, he must also reckon with the altered destinies of those he loves.
