Demons & Rabbits is the autobiographical tale of Ko, who, after running away from an abusive home, tries to survive life on the streets. He eventually bands together with other homeless miscreant youths, and, miraculously, they are able to get by sleeping and living out of a car, and performing various odd jobs around town - many of them involving drugs. Some of the "notable" people that Ko gets to know include Danny, an 18-year-old high school dropout that was kicked out of his house by his neglectful and abusive mother; and Chris, a charismatic, big brother type whom the Ko looks up to, even though Chris' anger issues and drug addictions aren't exactly the most admirable of qualities. Despite the lackluster quality in his male friends, Ko does meet a sweet young girl named Lisa, whom he instantly forms an attraction with. Lisa is not without her own baggage though, which only further complicates her budding relationship with the Ko. Banding together with a rag tag group of other homeless, drugaddicted youths, Ko lives on the streets of California - performing odd jobs and questionable activities to get by. These questionable jobs come to a head when Ko starts working at a shop, which also happens to double as a front for a crystal meth lab. Life on the street, understandably, numbs Ko to the world around him, and as he delves deeper into his various drug addictions, he simply stops caring about the quality of his life, and questions the existence of a god. Selling and distributing crystal meth is a dangerous game, and is obviously prone to violence and other illegal activities. Because of this, Ko soon finds himself an accessory to countless other crimes, i.e. murder, theft, etc. The consequences of his actions finally hit too close to home and Ko attempts to destroy the meth lab; he winds up in a state-run institute haunted by demons. The author spends the next couple of years there, and when he is finally ready to get his life back together, he works hard to rehabilitate himself and earn his freedom. When the author finally earns his release, he is sobered by the fact that he is a stranger to the "outside world," and, with no family, friends, and money, he must try and piece together his shattered sanity for a final confrontation with his demons.

Autorenporträt
I put my blood sweat and tears into my debut novel Demons & Rabbits. I Thank you for reading it. I wrote Demons & Rabbits to offer the reader not only a sobering and graphic look at substance abuse, addiction, and the countless horrors that come with it, but also the dangers run-aways face every day. The book has a strong connection to my personal life. As the author of this book, I'm not ready to give up my anonymity. I wrote this because it was something I felt compelled to do. It is a gritty tale I'm not proud to tell. I do not want to be judged or labeled. I have had enough labels thrust upon me in life: abused, runaway, homeless, junkie, killer, prisoner, psychotic, depressed, cutter, suicidal, rehabilitated and so on. For once in my life, it is my turn to choose which label to wear. The one thing I've never been called is "ok". In fact, I'm the opposite of "ok". I am KO!
