It is What it Is
"Readers will follow the flow and enjoy this tale." Dick Weissman, Portland Book Reivew
It Is What It Is (2015) is Wick's 'riff' on The Dude (The Big Lebowski). Seventeen years ago Zenny Zeller was the drummer of one-hit wonder band "Gupperfish." Now he rents space in his house to the beautiful Stella and her band. Stella's drummer IQ has disappeared...again. Zenny and the band bumble through one possible lead after another, hoping to find IQ before their big club show for industry mogul, Glazer-from-Polymorph. Inspired in part by Wick's own history on the fringes of the 'grunge' music scene.
