Valets: The Novel
Stoners impersonate Las Vegas valets so they can steal cars.
“How can we live in this world and not be miserable?” is the question. Two best friends smoke weed while awaiting the answer.
The 21st century valet stand is another exploitative invention of man that caters to laziness and craven greed. People who could use the exercise of parking their cars and walking to an establishment do not, and businesses who could allow their customers to park in their lots for free instead charge a fee and why not? Sadomasochistic behavior has become the norm in Las Vegas where hard-earned cash is tossed around with so much lassiez faire carelessness that it’s only right someone scoops it up. There are many names for those few who have the daring to do what others won’t do: scavengers, pirates, daredevil thieves, heroes even. Or just, valets.
This is the tale of John Waldo and Stockton Ohio, two men who just want to be free to live a life of liberty…and weed.

About the author
Jonathan Heatt
14 books5 followersI'm an American writer with an insatiable appetite for butchering the English language. I write fiction, nonfiction, poetry, short stories, screenplays, and other inauspicious scribblings. If I had any sense I would've learned how to write code for computer programs.
When I'm not writing, I like to eat, drink, breathe, and trim toenails. Judging by the length of my tree climbers it's obvious I write quite often.
My new novel is Highway of Tears. Two college graduates take a road trip on the deadliest highway in North America. The novel is based on the terrifying real story of Highway 16 in British Columbia, nicknamed the Highway of Tears.
My new poetry book is Bedouin in a Fallen Desert, a collection of poems written by a Las Vegas author from 2020 through 2025 detailing his observations of the Covid years, political upheavals, the erosion of civil liberties, American divisiveness, and massive depopulation initiatives.
Basically a time capsule of living in a clown world, the author extols the importance of freedom in the 21st century while mixing in humor, mysticism, and admiration for a beneficial green plant.
