Two novels of the CIA. A BRIGHT AND DISTANT LAND Cambodia, 1970. WHAT WAS NEVER WRITTEN Honduras, 1985. Two novels exploring the intersection of intelligence, politics, and personal conscience.

Two literary legends. Centuries of bad publicity. Frankenstein: A Memoir (Sort Of) and Dracula: A Memoir (More or Less) bring together two comic reinventions of literary immortality. The books became classics. The people involved would like a word.

THE WORK OF THREE Based on the true story of Hannie Schaft, Truus Oversteegen, and Freddie Oversteegen, The Work of Three is a historical novel about courage without glory, violence without illusion, and three young women who fought an occupation determined to erase them.

Dead and irritated, Calchas explains the Trojan War and Odysseus’ long trip home. The Iliad and The Odyssey But Funnier is a comic retelling of Greek myth narrated by a dead prophet who warned everyone, watched them ignore him, and has eternity to complain about it.

Nice review for the new novel.

Nice article in the local newspaper.

Review: “Probably, Maybe, Almost Definitely” is well-written, but not as believable as other stories about Sundance, Etta, and Butch Cassidy. The novel is excessively, and perhaps unrealistically, comical." That's like complaining Blazing Saddles wasn't historically correct.

Nice review from Australia.

Huge thanks to my local independent bookstore, Good Neighbor Bookstore in Lakewood, NY for a great book signing today. Sold a lot of books.
