Fester
Austin City Limits. South by Southwest. Old Settler's. Levitation. Fester.
A life changing weekend of peace and music. That’s all Shawn Smith (no relation to the musician) wanted.
This road trip was supposed to be the highlight of his summer. Drink some beers, hear some tunes, meet some girls — and finally see Stephen Malkmus live. What could go wrong? Thirty-seven prank phone calls help turn Fester into a festival Shawn will never forget.
An ode to summer music festivals by the author of TIMELY PERSUASION, “Fester” is a fun comedy of errors — and the first juror backstory setting up the future novel DUTY CALLS.
About JL Civi (Austin, Texas Author)
JL Civi is a self proclaimed music aficionado and time travel geek. Both turn up frequently in his work -- often in the same stories -- even when he starts off writing about something else.
His DUTY CALLS series tells a tale of jury duty inspired by the television show LOST. Twelve people are serving as jurors on a trial. Each one has their own standalone short story about their life before they were summoned to court. A full novel is planned that will collect these backstories plus give the characters a new mystery to solve together. Originally from New England, JL currently lives in Texas with his wife and dog. He hates talking about himself, even in the third person. Why are you reading this bio when you could be reading one of his books?
