the novel

A Fugitives’ Picnic, for which I am currently seeking an agent. It’s commercial fiction with literary aspirations (or should that be “pretensions?”) and a strong noir influence. It’s the story of a man who, after faking his own death, discovers that the life he thought he had was all a mirage. It runs about 85,000 words long and, as I mentioned, I’m actively working on finding representation for it. So if you’re a literary agent and this sounds like it might be your thing, contact me via email (scroll down for the address).
