Fiction

Excerpt from Desert Flower, a noir novel set in the Badlands of South Dakota. A hustler Indian and a roadhouse beauty (Desert Flower) team up for a drugs and money heist against local gangsters. Desert is as lethal as she is alluring. Greenleaf is an ex-con drifter who falls into her trap. The dark tale of their destiny is a journey through a nightmare.

An illustrated version of the complete book (24 chapters, 20 noir drawings, 8-1/2 x 11", illustrated card stock cover) is available for $25 from the author. Individually numbered and autographed.

"I Am Alive and I Am Real", short story


Fiction and Painting of Rex Sexton on CD includes his novel Desert Flower, four short stories, and images of 20 of his paintings. His fiction introduces you to worlds that outwardly seem familiar, but that operate in accord with their own eerie rules and expectations. Once you get caught up in the characters, reading one of these tales is like watching your own recurrent nightmare -- you can't stop reading, and you'll never forget.
