NEXT: The Late Bloomer {{the silence of the world}}

Hark, readers of Contract City!

I am very pleased to announce that my next book, The Late Bloomer, will be published by Rare Bird Books imprint California Coldblood in Los Angeles. 

Here’s some super-early dust jacket copy:

In THE LATE BLOOMER, the world experiences an abrupt and unthinkable cataclysm on the morning of October 29, 2018. Kevin March, high school band trombonist and want-to-be writer playing early morning hooky, is witness to its beginning, though he isn’t as shocked by it as he thinks he should be or wishes he could be—these dreams he’s been having; this story that he wrote; his little brother’s night terrors and sleepwalking. Surprised or not, Kevin now not only finds himself pitted against forces these changes have wrought in order to survive, but soon discovers that he may have a crucial role in this new world, one that he is reluctant to play.

To stay alive, Kevin embarks on a journey that promises to change everything yet again. On his journey, into a digital recorder he chronicles his experiences at the end of his world.
This book is a transcript of that recording.

Depicting an unspeakable apocalypse unlike any seen in fiction—there are no zombies, viruses or virals, no doomsday asteroid, no aliens, no environmental cataclysm, no nuclear holocaust—with a Holden Caulfieldesque protagonist at his world’s end, The Late Bloomer is both a companion piece to Lord of the Flies and a Bradburyian Halloween tale. And though young adult-oriented and delivering genre-novel fear, The Late Bloomer is harrowing, grim and poignant in the way of McCarthy’s The Road. Told in Kevin March’s singular and unforgettable voice, delivering a gripping narrative with an unsparing climax as moving as it is terrifying, The Late Bloomer defies expectations of the genre and
will haunt those who read it.

COMING HALLOWEEN 2018

I just read your book, The Late Bloomer, for the ninth time and I just want to write a comment on this post. It is definitely a great decision for Rare Bird Books to publish your book. I really love the character of Kevin March. His role is very important to the book, but the other characters compliment his role. Thanks to this book, we, the readers, had a glimpse of his journey in that world. It engages our imagination with all the details stated in it. The Late Bloomer is definitely one of my favorite books to read again and again.
