I live in Missoula, and people I run into on the streets or various establishments ask me about my current work in progress, “The Dry Lake”.

Since I’m on the first draft, it’s going to be quite some time before it sees daylight. But it is a priority, first on my fresh writing list.

The novel details the drama of underground Missoula. This is not the North Face-outfitted-jogging-with-lab-in-the-Rattlesnake Missoula, but the real Missoula. The maw.

I’m completely certain The Dry Lake is going to bristle a few egos. But a writer isn’t doing their job otherwise.

I’m hoping to complete the first draft by the end of the month.
