NODing Out - a Novel

NODding out is a novel that mixes the action and adventure of a Jason Bourne novel with the insight and mysticism of a Carlos Castaneda book.

It is as times lyrical and mysterious, at times a pulse-pounding thriller. Like the popular novel The Historian, this book fits an 'NPR Demographic' - intelligent, well-educated readers who are looking for entertainment that is also thought provoking and well written. And, like the Historian, the book is part thriller, part travelogue. But unlike it, the sex is actually sexy, and the violence, violent.

It's going to make a helluva movie too.

it is currently nearing completion of an entire re-write and I hope to submit it to agents and screenwriters soon.
