The Glass Field
My new novel, The Glass Field, is published today. It’s my first novel in 27 years. Screenwriting has kept me busy, but in my heart I've always been a novelist; returning to all the things novels can do has been a genuine delight.
In the book, two damaged teenagers are drawn together by their shared belief that nuclear war is inevitable. It’s 1986, Cold War paranoia is running high, and they’re bot Read more of this blog post »

“If we could live all our lives in the present, with no recourse to what has gone before or what might yet be, we would be so much the simpler for it.
