Okay people, it\u2019s time to put this out there. I have completed another novel (my first one is here<\/a>) and am just starting the process of figuring out if it can find an agent or traditional publisher. It\u2019s a comedy about a woman returning to DC after federal prison, trying to reenter her old social circle of local sadomasochists and get used to her new circle of halfway-house residents; when she learns that someone she knows is being abused, she needs to decide how much of her new life she\u2019s willing to risk. Comedy gold!<\/p>\n

But no, I think this book has some of my best writing. What it does not have is an obvious readership. It\u2019s significantly more violent and sexual than Amends<\/em>, but it also explores both Judaism and Catholicism in more depth. Basically if you want to read a book with a fairly explicit BDSM scene and also a literal miracle of the Virgin Mary, I have good news.<\/p>\n

If any of you all have advice, or can put my name in front of someone who can help shepherd this thing through traditional publishing, I would greatly appreciate it. I\u2019m open to self-publishing again but for what it\u2019s worth, Amends<\/em> got good enough<\/a> reviews<\/a>, in places<\/a> which<\/a> don\u2019t usually<\/a> look<\/a> at self-pub (and also Goodreads<\/a>), that I am hoping somebody will take a chance on this novel. Feel free to email me eve_tushnet@yahoo.com with any info or interest.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
