Sneak Peek

The news again seems filled with the usual stuff, so I’ll go with an excerpt from Class of ’67, a novella, which is selling a bit better than any of my books usually do. One of my hopes is that it will entice people to the others. A few copies of the others have sold since it became available, but it’s impossible to tell if the new one is the reason. It’s part thriller, part portrait of life at 70, and can be read in an hour or so. Here’s the point that sets the plot in motion. It occurs at the end of page two and into page three:

He’d cracked the window a few inches and felt a pleasant draft as he leaned back, reading glasses in place, and opened the paper, starting from the rear. It usually took him an hour-plus to finish it, scanning most items, reading only a few thoroughly. He nearly bypassed the death reported on page three. His eyes spread at the sight of the photograph he assumed was the victim, who was wearing hoop earrings, which had always driven him wild. She looked exactly like a girl from his high school graduating class. He’d been looking at the yearbook just last night, trying to match a Facebook friend request to a guy on the same page. Was it Karma? The article listed her as unknown. The photo had been in her bag. She’d been found in an alley in lower Manhattan. Foul play was suspected.

Since the floating book shop’s three prime neighborhood parking spots were occupied, I took the show to my alternate site. My thanks to the woman who bought a book in Russian, and to the one who purchased five kids books; and to the gentleman who selected the massive Gai-Jin by James Clavell and an almost as big literary collection probably once used in a college course.
