Finally... finally! I have a new novel, only seven years or so after the first one.
Back in 2009 I published Same Difference, a hard-boiled detective novel that served as both a kind of fiction-writing apprenticeship for me and a chance to explore that fun, page-turning formula of that category of novel. The book is set in New York City in the mid-1970s, and while it necessarily incorporates a lot of my own experiences, it is mostly an invention, pieced together from my memory of the era and lots of other second-hand research.
I wrote the first draft of Same Difference several years before, rewriting it a couple of times including changing what had been a third-person narration into first-person.
