The Moon in Deep Winter
by Lee Polevoi

$0.99
Kindle Edition published 2008-01-10
Bestseller ranking: 460964

Product Description
This literary thriller revolves around Parker Sloane. When he returns from a dismal foray into third-world cash-smuggling to his childhood home in the woods of New England, it seems he’s seeing his country and his blended stepfamily for the first time—and finding both just as twitchy, desperate, paranoid and unpredictable as the underworld types he thought he’d escaped.

Before he can even unpack, Parker goes head-to-head with his relatives—his tyrannical stepfather, seething younger brother, newly evangelical mother, and his alluring younger half-sister Rita—and with the demons they never exorcised.

Delicately but disastrously, Parker attempts to keep his family from imploding, unaware that they have their own plans for escape. The Moon in Deep Winter combines the dark comedy of the Coen brothers with the doomed lyricism of Denis Johnson, creating an airtight world of homicidal family dysfunction.

Archer, where is the best picture of Gorgon?  I was thinking of carving him but need a good shot of him to lock it into my head.

Gorgon is whatever you make of him. I have only ever shown his eyes.
There's a reason for that...once I draw him, that's what he is. I prefer to let my words paint a picture in the readers' minds.
I have paintings of him at home, of course, but they've never been seen outside the house.  Smiley

For the record, I would LOVE to see what you come up with.

Is it a pewter model of a dwarf?   Hmmm.   That would be sweet.

Archer's sense of humor is a little odd .. probably a pewter model of horse poop (after all, "a horse" has been declared the closest guess so far, but real horse poop wouldn't be very "collectible" ... other than to pick it up and dispose of it).

Then it must be about 5 oz of plastic horse poop.    javascript:void(0);

LOL   Hey it wouldn't insult me.  I think it would be cool.  It would go along with the collection of things my boys have already given me like that.   Smiley

A wise choice, madame!

Hmmm, perchance a guided tour of the Greatwood, on horseback, led by the elf master herself???

Well, I have the week off from school (YAY SPRING BREAK) spending today finishing off at least 2 quilts, maybe as many as 4... so only checking  in now and agian.. Tomorrow, reorganize the fabric stash so it is no longer falling out of the shelves and onto the floor...
Hopefully Archer will announce what it is at some point so I can drool some more.

Oh and designed a possible quilt this morning.

Uh, oh...BT, are you a fabric addict too? I know I am.
Boxes and boxes of the stuff I've collected. Fortunately, I have a good friend who LOVES to make my exotic fabrics into stuff. It's like Christmas every time I get a package from her.

I know what the prize is...I just have to be in possession of it before I can offer it. Since I am enjoying everyone's speculation in the meantime, I won't reveal it yet! YAY SPRING BREAK!
