Californian Jonathan Pearce (http://www.balona.com) is an ex-high school teacher and long-time observer of The Law in its various forms. He is therefore especially familiar with the fumblings of crimebusters and the dreams and anxieties of youth. Spring Break is another of his many “Balona stories,” this one featuring Balona’s considerably remarkable would-be private investigator/secret agent/poet/psychologist Joseph Oliver Kuhl. Among Jonathan Pearce’s other published works of fiction: John-Browne’s Body & Sole (May Davenport Publishers), Sang Froyd (1stBooks Library); The Balona Klongs (BBOTW), Finding Dad (BBOTW), Focusing the Private Eye (BBOTW), and One Brick Shy (BBOTW).
