Resumen del Editor

Billy has figured it out.

How to live free.

That’s "free" as in "it costs no money" at hotel buffets, fast-food drink fountains, beachside shower, his old van....

From the master of crime fiction comes an unexpectedly whimsical short story about this San Diego surfer whose life plan is working perfectly until he meets a wealthy woman at an art gallery opening (the hors d’oeuvres), falls in love, and then has to masquerade as an upstanding member of society.  

This O. Henry-style yarn will surprise and delight Don Winslow fans and short-fiction devotees alike.

a free gift for a rainy March morning

I like almost all of Don Winslows work. But of all of his books I enjoy the San Diego canon the most.
So a free story, an hour spent hanging with the Dawn Patrol on a rainy March morning in New England was a great gift.
I think Winslow is an terrific short story writer, the Zoo story in his earlier collection read by Ray Porter is among the best writer/narrator piece in all of Audible.
Many thanks

A Fun Break..

This is definitely a walk on the lighter side of Winslow’s work. Back is the fun in the sun surfing group of the Dawn Patrol, but less of the dark and grittiness that is a common theme throughout much of his writing.

Free Billy is a refreshing story of that one friend we all have who is content to mooch and hobo-style his way through life. Only now, he has found the love of his life. It’s up to Boone, Sunny Day, and rest of the crew to crash course Billy on what non-surfer, normal women expect in a relationship.

Ed Harris gives a warm, rich resonance to a story that is heartwarming and fun. It’s easy to forget that this is such a prolific actor as he helps paint the story for your ears. Quickly becoming a favorite reader!!

Worth the listen!

I smiled the entire time I listened. I wasn’t sure how it was going to play out in an hour, but it was worth the listen. A story of friendship and love. I’m glad the two of them found each other.
