The crackerjack chronicles: Parking Spot War

By Daryl Hawkins

A laugh-out-loud comedy about expat life in Mexico - where a simple parking spot ignites an all-out neighborhood war.
When a grumpy Canadian retiree moves to the sun-soaked shores of Playa del Carmen, he expects nothing more than cold beers, warm breezes, and blissful silence. What he gets instead is a full-blown territorial dispute over the most coveted parking spot on the block.
Armed with nothing but dry wit and a stubborn refusal to back down, Crackerjack finds himself dragged into an escalating battle of wills with neighbors who take "property lines" very personally. His wife, Mi Amor, tries to keep the peace. His flamboyant friend Vivi fans the flames. And the ever-practical Melinda just wants everyone to act like adults - a tall order in paradise.
Part satire, part love letter to the chaos of starting over in a foreign country, The Parking Spot War is the first book in The Crackerjack Chronicles - a five-book humor fiction series that proves retirement is anything but relaxing.
