Having one life has always seemed too limiting for me. And so I write books to imagine other roads my life might have taken. In my novel FORTY YEARS LATER, a man faces a regret he has endured for four decades--and though it might cost him his marriage and implicate him in a murder--he decides to take a chance. In THE DEADLINE, a man has one year to fulfill a lifelong dream: a simple enough challenge--but that was before a dying mother, a corporate honcho sister, a priestess of the dark arts, and sinister agents from the Mob conspire to derail his destiny. In GRAND VIEW, I return to my most famous character, David Grossman. The story explores David's early relationships during a 1960s summer at a Catskill bungalow colony that shape his life forever. There are fathers, friends, forsaken illusions--and love. Grand View is where David's passions are revealed, passions that eventually lead him from success to crisis later in life.
