I recently wrote a coming of age book, Dancing in Puddles, which explores the emotional paralysis that strikes many young men when they're in college. Up until college, they have been brought up with a delusional sense of self, stemming from parents', teachers', and coaches' constant praise. In many ways, it’s a contemporary sequel to The Catcher in the Rye.

You can get a copy of the book at the link below. It’s available for the Kindle and Nook as well.

Such a surreal and hilariously funny book. So many genres in one! If you like science fiction, mystery, fiction, young adult, humor, classics, history, and time travel elements…. All right here! The main character Thursday Next is a British Literary Agent in a special ops. This is also a world in which time travel is rare, yet doable.

The main character Thursday Next is a British Literary Agent in a special ops. This is also a world in which time travel is rare, yet doable. She tracks down criminals who go after authors, their original manuscripts, even go into the books and attempt to sabotage any character of their choosing. Very interesting take! This book in particular the villain Acheron Hades attempts to cancel one of Jane Eyre’s beau.
Highly recommended! ...more "
