Watcha Gonna Do Boy...Watcha Gonna Be? Is a novel about one young man’s dream of following in his grandather’s footsteps instead of heading off to university. He is the breakaway, the one who learns, not in the feedbag university, but in the streets... “around the station part of town.” It is also a book about discovery – the discovery of what it means to grow from the dreams of one’s teenage years into the happy, reckless reality of young manhood. And it is filled with people...pick-swinging Railroad Ray Malone and other members of a salty railroad gang, old women of the streets in rundown shoes, a fifteen-year-old girl, and always, over his shoulder, the shadow conscience of his railroad engineer and hero grandfather, his parents, and the hip sanity of his closest friend, Jimmy Solomon.
