ABOUT THE BOOK Fast, furious, unforgettable and set against the backdrop of a crumbling civilization, NIGHT TRAIN follows arch-outsider Jerzy Mulvaney in an audacious account of what it means to be homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. REVIEW "Without moral rectitude, or digressing into the boring, played-out, over-simplified platitudes of right or wrong, black or white, rich or poor, natural born citizen or immigrant, God or no God, NIGHT A NOVEL by Donald O’Donovan shows us the absurdity of the fact that in the city of Los Angeles alone three quarters of a million people are homeless." -- Author Kelly Huddleston
Donald O'Donovan is an optioned screenwriter and voice actor with film and audio book credits. He was born in Cooperstown, New York.

The first draft of his novel NIGHT TRAIN was written on twenty-three yellow legal pads while the author was homeless on the streets of Los Angeles.
