Join us at Page & Palette for Signing Saturday! On Saturday, August 2nd at 1PM, John Stump will be here with his book, The Bartender. Enjoy a cup of coffee or a glass of wine as you visit John's table. We hope to see you there!
The Bartender
This story is in present time, 2025. Of a young man, AKA Ricardo Barton, who was seeking the “good times” a South Florida Bartender had to offer. The Bartender had a very colorful background but wasn’t sure he wanted to divulge the details of his experiences due to the implications it may have on his present lifestyle.
Once he was assured of the autonomy and his story’s confidence, he continued with full details of the underworld. The ‘Bar’ scene, the stage where it all plays out.
What you will read is the life story of a man going full circle in the sins of man. He is wild and reckless, walking the edge for as long as possible. This handsome man was going to squeeze all the pleasurable things in life he could find.
Would a MVA change all this? Read the sensational and real life of Rico Barton.
