New Novel Sold
ST. Martin's Press bought my novel, tentatively titled, "This is How It Really Sounds." Thank you, George Witte!
A very difficult novel written at a difficult time: after the emotional drain of AOR and the feeling that my writing "career," was over, that I'd never finish another book.
As usual, I wanted to do something more difficult than I'd done before, and after the intense complexity of AOR, I wanted to do something completely non-logical, completely intuitive.
Completely disparate things floating around. The world Extreme Skiing champion circa 1992, when no one knew what Extreme skiing was. A faded rock star who's lost all his money. A corporate Courtesan who lives in a Chinese garden, an 88 year old assassin, a disgraced financier living large in Shanghai. Etc. And behind it all, something about fire, snow, cold, avalanches. This is how it really sounds

I guess I conceptualize it as a series of magic tricks which don't stop until the final flourish at the end. I hope you'll continue to enjoy it as much as you have so far. It is close to my heart.
Best to you,
