Gersh Makes Good on the Laughs

Retired Montecito attorney David Gersh has just completed his new novel Pot Luck, the sequel to his laugh-out-loud award-winning book Desperate Shop Girls, which is being published by Open Books in the New Year.

It is the Harvard Law School graduate’s sixth tome, to be closely followed by his seventh, The Whisper of a Distant God, a Civil War historical novel about the campaign the Confederacy mounted to take over Colorado, Nevada, and California, which took six years to write because of the extensive research and will be on bookshelves in April.

“Pot Luck is another yarn about the bumbling small-town lawyer, Jimmy Harris, when he jumps out of the frying pan into the pot business,” says David. “He’s in way over his head and there are more twists and turns than by a snake in the grass!”

Perfect for a time when we need some laughter…
