Great event at the 92nd St. Y
Tonight I went to a book reading and discussion with two of the world's most interesting authors: Salman Rushdie and László Krasznahorkai. This took place at the 92nd St. Y in Manhattan. Each read from a current or soon-to-be-published book, and then there was an interview with moderator, then a Q & A. A rare event. So glad I could go. More info is available on the Y's website: Readings at the Y.

Stonewall's Head is out and available
My new book, Stonewall's Head, is now available through online retailers like Amazon, Amazon UK, Barnes and Noble, Alibris, etc. It can also be ordered through any bookstore. It is a mystery-thriller, totally different from my previous book, Seduction of a Wanton Dreamer.
There's a lot going on in this book between the U.S. and Russian secret services, especially the Russian SVR and a secret Pentagon agency called Ring Zero. I spent seven years writing it, and wouldn't you know, the week it's published a spy scandal breaks involving the SVR. Good timing or bad? Guess I'll find out. I think, good. I have a character named Galina who could have been Anna Chapman in terms of looks and physique; but Galina is more modest and reserved than Anna. Galina would never post sexy pictures of herself on Facebook, for instance. Nonetheless, it might be fun for readers to look for similarities. Galina is based loosely on a real Russian of my acquaintance.
