Lost Story

I don’t have an exactly publication date for it yet, but I’ve got the cover for my next novel posted on the main page now. Lost Story is more in the genre of literary/historical fiction. It uses my favorite narrative triptych style—alternating between three character perspectives—like my novels Lord Byron’s Prophecy and Confessions. In this case, the characters are Ernest Hemingway, a poor French boy, and a contemporary literary professor. The novel centers around an infamous event in Hemingway’s early career, when almost all of his manuscripts were stolen at a train station. Lost Story follows Hemingway’s obsession over one of those unfinished manuscripts and his determination to recreate and finish it, while examining the unexpected impact the original stolen, incomplete story makes on those who encounter it.
