My first book was Running From the Paranoids (2004) followed by Count of Chaos (2007). Paranoids was about an eccentric wealthy character, Igor, who was trying to live his life according to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle in the Village of NYC. His ife is a mess until he meets a starving actress named Allyson. She pieces together the short stories he's been writing while they are separated and it becomes a best-seller as the Pan-Galactioc Amusement Park.
The new book is Elephant Park, in which Igor & Allyson are shipwrecked after a hurricane near a trailer park on the gulf coast of Florida. They in their own bizzare way they rescue the people of the park and help the adjacent park that cares for retired circus elephants.
The third & probably final book with Allyson & Igor takes place in New England, Skinny-dipping with Uranium.
Besides reading novels, I read a great deal of history, travel books, science & some SciFi, and politics, about which I am strongly liberal..
