“Death, Discovery and Carne Asada”

April 23, 2020

My friend Thomas Curran walked across America last year all by himself (well his dog Wink accompanied him for a good part of the trip) to raise funds for Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation.

And that’s not all, he also wrote a book, but it’s not what you are thinking. It’s called “Death, Discovery and Carne Asada” and the opening line is “I didn’t plan on killing people when I walked across America.” Thomas says there are plenty of great books already written about walking across the country, so he wrote something much different, “I wrote a fiction novel using my life prior to my journey and everything about my walk as the backdrop for a snarky, irreverent, kinda low-brow murder mystery.”

After being a chef for 25 years, a father for 23, walking 3,235 miles across America, and acclimating back to real life for nearly 6 months his book is finally done! And, it’s coming out on Tuesday, April 28 on Amazon - mark your calendar and check it out at thomascurran.com
