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.

Seems like there should be enough of us here in central AR for a meet, we'll have to try in the future.


Where in AR? I am an hour from Texarkana.

I really hope that another K&K Day is planned. My daughter and I would probably go to one in the Kansas City area. Would love to meet other kindred spirits!

You know it occurs to me that WE don't have to wait for someone over on Amazon boards to decide to organize another K&K day. We can always do it from here - and then go over there and invite them to join us.
8 of the Washington, D.C. KB'ers had a get-together last month.  We had a very nice time.  A few other cities were talking about also doing it.  Why not go ahead.  The coffee-house setting is one that many people are already used to.  And we know that Starbucks would welcome such a thing - it brings them publicity and business.
So YOU could set a date and pick a particular Starbucks and ask those in your city/state to join you.  And then take the info to Amazon boards and ask there.  If you really want to open up to the world.  I understand that you can print out the posters that Harvey produced for us here and Starbucks will let you post them in the store one week in advance.  That way local people interested in Kindles might come - advertising often gets results.
However, my message is aimed at all of us - we can make future meetings happen - we don't have to wait for others to organize them (if we don't want to).

Just sayin.....

Good point, Geoff. I'm a believer in being proactive. That said, I'll wait until daughter is home from her honeymoon to see if there's a good Saturday for her. If no one in our area has set up a day, then we'll see what we can do.  (Hmm. That only sounds a tiny bit proactive, doesn't it?)
