The Blunt Object
This novel is a jigsaw puzzle of interlocking stories about a clever yet troubled woman.
We know that she kills a man,
and we know how.
But we don't know who, or why.
The story is told by all the other characters in the mystery. As the pieces click into place, a Cubist portrait of the killer emerges.
And then my next novel:

Earlier Work
The Journey Itself Is Home
In this picaresque adventure, the narrator learns that he has gotten a young girl pregnant. He travels around the country trying to find the runaway on a journey which echoes the travelogues of the haiku poet Bashō.
Pirates of Crude
A story about modern-day pirates who prey on drug smugglers in the Caribbean. The modern pirates operate in the same waters using the same tactics as the pirates of olde centuries. Machine guns have replaced cannons, engines have replaced sails, cocaine has replaced doubloons. Little else has changed. The book bulges with sex, drugs, violence, infernal history and black humor.
The Malignant Inferno
A dystopic novel in the spirit of 1984 and Brave New World. In a near-future where convenience is the only ideal, what happens when a member of the privileged class drops through the floor of his society and must make an exodus on foot across the desert with a dog?
