Le Jour de Gloire est Arrivé

Exciting news, at least for me. My novel Substantial Justice will be published June 9 by Rare Bird Books. I started this book in 1985 and, voila, a mere 34 years later, done! (There were a few diversionary activities during that span).

If you’re at all so inclined, PLEASE PRE-ORDER! Pre-orders are vital for encouraging distributors to think the book may be worth putting some effort behind. You can order from local indie Book Passage (will charge you shipping, but the book will be signed!) or the usual suspects, as listed below.

What manner of book is this, you may ask. It is set in the Bay Area, Arizona and New York of 1985, is in the ‘literary suspense’ genre and tries to shed some new light on that era while keeping readers thoroughly amused and entertained. As the fabulous Joan Silber (read her “Improvement” while you wait for my pub date) so aptly put it:

“Substantial Justice is a joy to read--who can resist a mix of intrigue, cannabis, and fraught romance? It’s a literary thriller with a wildly accurate sense of the era it depicts—and great lines uttered by great characters. A winner.”
