******************************
FINISHED: Inanimate Objects is a dark
and glittering novel of artists and
magicians, muses and immortals. At the
heart of the story is Leonidas Bondi, a
charismatic young artist who falls under
the watchful gaze of Matilda August.
Matilda has been a patron to the stars
for hundreds of years, but this fickle
muse is more than a little taken with her
new protégé, blurring her own lines of
work and obsession. Providing opposition
is Matilda’s son, Elisha, a moody figure
who holds revenge above all else after
he suffers a terrible wrong.. More.
WRITING:
Two projects relating to St. Denglar's
School for Wayward Souls. World, get
ready for Thomas Valentine.
And:
The zany and exciting events of my life
inspired “Love, Late-Bloomers and
Sushi”, a memoir-like novel about a girl in
her midtwenties, raised on Jane Austen
and navigating the strange new world of
dating and technology (without a
manual). The narrator is in search of the
great love of her life, and instead meets
Henry Blackwell, a metrosexual, nerdy
contradiction of terms who slowly reveals
layers of pain and fear under all of his
humor and worldliness. The novel is
written in the chatty, neurotic and
occasionally heartbreaking tone of a
conversation over drinks with your best
girlfriends.
Though the story ends in tears in the
frontseat of his car, it's ultimately a
tribute to the enduring hope to find good
in any situation.
