Check out the trailer for my new
novel, Buildings Without Murders,
published by Atmosphere Press on March 1, 2020. Visit my brand-new website or the Atmosphere
website for more information and purchasing options (paperback and e-book).
In my base-town of Washington, D.C., Buildings
Without Murders is available at Politics and Prose on
Connecticut Avenue. The video is by multimedia artists Gabriela Bulisova and
Mark Isaac; visit their website
for more information on their projects. Finally, consider following my Instagram page,
where I’m just getting started. I’ll follow you, if you follow me. Thanks for
taking a look!
The video is captions-enabled,
or here’s the excerpt from the book that’s read aloud in the trailer: “LaRousse’s smartphone buzzed. It
registered the presence of several GPS pins orbiting her own signal, a
collection of competent kissers, street kids, philanthropists, and rough-house
run-rioters demonstrating recalcitrant intentions. Half her body shivered in a
downdraft. She traced the origins of this chilly whirlybird by sizing up the
architecture of the tallest crane, from anchor to tower head, until she espied
the very phenomenon that the News Update had reported for the past several
broadcasts, up high, adrift above everyday birds and skyscrapers. A single,
available cloud bank blundered between the forces of opposing currents, the
defiant and the stoic, its magenta-white lightning bolt fizzling in a brisk
state of perpetual discharge. The cloud hauled a stroke of incomplete,
ornamental lightning.”
