My novel, Permanent Fatal Error, will be published by Betimes Books later this year.
This is the primary place I'll be talking more about all that, posting cover art and videos and such, as the publication date draws nearer.
For now, here's the initial publisher's tease for my novel:
A long-missing novelist, a string of murders and a new brand of heroine fire Permanent Fatal Error, a literary thriller.
Everett Hyde: Cult-writer extraordinaire, once regarded as the voice of his generation; an author in the reclusive tradition of J.D. Salinger and Thomas Pynchon but now presumed dead.
Chase Alger: Award-wining biographer specializing in studies of famous people—writers all—who’ve come to mysterious ends. Chase is a self-made man with his own ambiguous past. When Chase receives an invitation from Everett Hyde’s widow, a disarming offer to write her husband’s sanctioned biography, sinister things begin happening around the would-be biographer.
Chase’s initial replies to Mrs. Hyde’s emails are swiftly returned, marked “Permanent Fatal Error.” Chase senses he’s being watched, his every move shadowed.
Further inquiries after Hyde are first met with stonewalls, then menacing phone calls and emailed death threats.
But the hook is set, and Chase, along with his lover, Ashley, an aspiring young fiction writer, agrees to be taken under extreme security to the remote estate of the mysterious author’s equally reclusive daughter, Shelby Hyde.
As they plumb deeper into Hyde’s twisted personal history, Chase and Ashley are forced to wonder if the famous cult author is truly dead and to ask themselves how much they are prepared to sacrifice in order to disclose Hyde’s story.
Ashley finds herself threatened not just by the cult-author’s mysterious daughter, but also emerging questions regarding Chase’s own murky past.
Permanent Fatal Error is a sexy, Hitchcockian roller-coaster ride from Hadley Colt.
