While visiting friends and family in the Hudson Valley this summer, I will be doing a book signing and reading from my novel The Postcard at Merritt Bookstore in Millbrook, NY on July 13 at 4pm.
Set in the summer of 1990, The Postcard tells the story of upstate New York teenager James Bailey's last weekend with his metal head friends before leaving for college in California. The story follows James and his friends from hanging out in a dilapidated strip mall parking lot, to the urban pavement of New York City to see a hardcore matinee show at CBGB. Travelling with James and his entourage is Stacey, an ex-metal chick (now hardcore/punk rocker). James and Stacey share some history: a spontaneous one-night affair-a night seven months ago that continues to silently haunt their friendship.
I self-published my novel in the Fall of 2010. Busy completing my Ph.D, I did not have the time or opportunity to celebrate the book's publication with my friends and family.
The postcard is available as e-book and paperback on Amazon.
I am currently completing my second novel tentatively called "Dressed to Kill." I expect to have the book ready for publication early next year.
