I’ve written seven novels, some of which are ready for publication. If you’re a literary agent, drop me a line. I’d love to send you one of the following manuscripts:
Millbrook is a big book rooted in America’s early psychedelic movement. South Bostonian plumber Callum Quinn meets Dr. Timothy Leary in the spring of 1961 while working a facilities job at Harvard. Three years later, newly remarried, Cal brings his wife Sophie to Leary’s Hudson Valley mansion, “Daheim,” a 38-bedroom Bavarian Baroque residence in Millbrook, New York. Cal is out of his element there but assimilates to protect his marriage, a big ask in the face of free love.
Shady Maples, aka Looking Out, is a tale of art, addiction, and divorce centered around neighborhood swimming pools, written in vignettes á la Renata Adler’s 1976 classic Speedboat. It pulls from my lifeguarding career and a four-year stint on Yale’s diving team.
Leo Says Yes satirizes dystopian office culture in near-future Seattle. A send-up of Big Tech and e-commerce, it follows 26-year-old Leo Howell into a voluntary program set on increasing worker efficiency. ThinkSeverance crossed with 20-something romance, served with a side of AI subterfuge.
Children of the Wend is the first in a YA/adult-crossover fantasy quintet. High school rivals Jude and Gayle find their way from rural Vermont into the world of Minn, a place of widespread psychic malady and brewing civil war. The classmates are either the key to Minn’s future or a precursor to its demise. Beware the Shilk!
