The Moon in Deep Winter

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.

I'm delighted to announce the publication by Straight Up Press of new electronic and paperback editions of my first novel, ALLIANCES. Originally published by Worldwide Library in 1987, the novel sold 65,000 copies worldwide and was translated into French, Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese for foreign editions in Australia, the Philippines, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, Brazil and Latin America. The book earned a single review from the now-defunct magazine, Rendezvous:

"The horrors and circumstances during World War II are depicted in this remarkable tale of fear and courage. The story takes you from England to France with a female American war correspondent trying to send the Americans the real story behind the war, and the English people trying to stay alive with all the hardships of bombings and killings. The reader will be hard-pressed to read this without feeling it's more fact than fiction, more fear than sentimentality. This is for both men and women, but not a romance in any sense of the word. Action - yes; conflict - plenty; well-written - absolutely."

ALLIANCES is available as a print-on-demand trade paperback and Kindle eBook at Amazon. Here's a link to the Kindle edition: http://www.amazon.com/ALLIANCES-ebook/dp/B003WEAJGQ/ref=tmm_kin_title_0?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2&qid=1279831655&sr=8-3

In the next few weeks an eBook edition of the novel for the iPad will be available at the iBookstore. And when Barnes & Noble and Google launch their eBookstores later this year, eBook editions of ALLIANCES will on their shelves as well.

The fine print:
Please add to your existing book thread when you have news about your book rather than start a new one, it helps the members who are trying to follow you.  You may have a separate thread for each of your books.   We recommend you bookmark your post so that you can find it in the future.   Wink You may respond to all posts, but if there have been no member posts, we ask that you wait a week before "bumping" the thread by posting back-to-back posts of your own.  And we ask that Amazon reviews not be repeated here as they are easy to find at your book link.  Also, full reviews from other sites should not be posted here, but you may post a short blurb and a link to the full review instead. All this, and more, is included in our Forum Decorum. From time to time our site rules may change; be sure to check Forum Decorum (http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,36.0.html) for the current guidelines and rules. Cheesy
