Cowboy Versus Samurai
By Michael Golamco

"Things in nature always hide. Lizards change the color of their skins. Moths live or die based on the color of their wings."

Will Travis Park risk being seen as he truly is? In this savagely funny re-telling of Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac, English teacher Travis Park is the only Korean American living in the small town of Breakneck, Wyoming. When beautiful Veronica Lee arrives, she stirs up questions about love and race, and Travis must choose ... but who's who in this struggle between cowboy and samurai?
