So my next novel, The Thing I Didn’t Know I Didn’t Know, comes out in December. Here’s the blurb:

 

I guess this was what they meant by a loss of innocence. Who knew?

Russel Middlebrook is twenty-three years old, gay, and living in trendy Seattle, but life isn’t keeping up with the hype. Most of his friends have a direction — either ruthlessly pursuing their careers or passionately embracing their own aimlessness. But Russel is stuck in place. All he knows is that crappy jobs, horrible dates, and pointless hook-ups just aren’t cutting it anymore.

What’s the secret? What does everyone else know that he doesn’t?

Then Kevin, Russel’s perfect high school boyfriend, reappears. Could rekindling an old flame be the thing he needs to get his life back on track? Or maybe the answer lies in a new friend, an eccentric older woman named Vernie Rose, who seems to possess more than a bit of the wisdom of the universe. Or what the hell: maybe Russell will find some answers by joining his best friend Gunnar’s obsessive search for the elusive, legendary Bigfoot!

One way or another, Russel is determined to learn the all-important secret to life, even if it’s a thing he doesn’t even know he doesn’t know.

Author Brent Hartinger made a splash writing books for teens. The Thing I Didn’t I Know I Didn’t Know, his first book for adults, is just as much of a page-turner as his earlier books, with plenty of Hartinger’s trademark irreverency and humor. But now his books are growing up along with his readers, becoming edgier, more contemporary, and often dangerously sexy.

“This book is so good I crapped myself!” — Famous Author Who I Hope Will Blurb Me
