LANNY (A New Novel)

I just published LANNY, a novel set in the 1960s. I worked on it while I was editing and completing the biography of Clay Shaw, Man of a Million Fragments: The True Story of Clay Shaw,

LANNY tells the story of a rather unusual friendship that developed between a young boy and his next door-neighbor, a friend of the family and a man of mysterious actions and motives.

The story takes place over a number of years, and deals with interactions within families and outside of families. It is a road trip novel, a family disintegration novel, and a novel of a unique friendship, all set against the turbulence of the 1960s.

It is available only on Amazon Kindle at the moment, but should be available on all e-reader platforms (Barnes and Noble Nook, Apple, Sony, etc.) soon.

Lanny

I am getting very close to completing the first draft of a new novel, entitled Lanny. I have been working on it for the last twenty months or so, even as I was working to complete the biography of Clay Shaw.

Very simply, it is the story of a young boy in the 1960's, and his association with a grown man, his next-door neighbor, and the slow disintegration of the family unit around him. It is a complex story in some ways, but narrated in a simple style by the boy.

I hope to have it out during the first half of next year.
