In a few weeks, I plan to offer my first novel, RESURRECTING VIRGIL, available also via Amazon.com, or Backwaters Press, on Kindle. RV is about a shy young man who lands a job at a funeral home. Because Virgil is so shy and inept, he keeps making mistakes. He is in love with a woman who is in love with one of Virgil's colleagues, Speed, a nefarious sort who has a business after hours of his own, selling bodies, which Virgil eventually discovers. The novel draws heavily upon Frazier's The Golden Bough, cryonics, body stealing, the Genome Diversity Project, and is heavy on the satire of funeral homes. It is essentially a dark comedy, set in the south, with a surprisingly gentle protagonist, Virgil, who does not know he is an enlightened feminist. My second novel, LUCKY JOYCE, an academic satire, unpublished, is still waiting to be discovered.
