#Novel 2 is called “The Invasive”, and it will be out this spring. Press release forthcoming, etc.
“The Puller” was the first novel I ever wrote (and short story). “The Invasive” is the second. Apparently they’re going in order.
I wrote much of the novel in various national forest campgrounds across Montana in 2010. Since the novel takes place in Montana, I wanted the writing to be real. So I sat in campgrounds, hoping for my laptop power not to expire while besieged by mosquitoes and black flies.
“The Invasive” is a different novel than “The Puller”. It’s more akin to a lean, modern day thriller, while “The Puller” was experimental and more early King-ish. However, “The Invasive” contains the dark organic elements my work is known for. And yeah, bears. This time grizzly.
