Available December 8, 2020
Fiction

Ernie Kippett never recovered from the 2008 financial crisis, so he took his sorry soul back to his little hometown. And hallelujah! It was just in time for the state marijuana laws to change. But the commercial production of medical marijuana doesn't come without challenges. Over at the new legal grow-op it's mostly mayhem and ever-inflating construction costs. Lydia Rosemore, the fabulously rich widow who funds the operation, doesn't have a clue. And Caldwell Porter, who might have only ever been a con man, is determined to produce the finest weed in America, not to mention grab all the power in the company he can. Staff turnover never stops and nepotism is rampant, though perhaps not as rampant as the technical glitches and infestations. Then there's the budding war between the horticultural specialists and the master grower from Colorado. Given the constant chaos and the changing regulations issued by a state determined never to be mistaken for the local dealer, will the healing product ever make it to the shelves?
