Something About Me and My Book:
One day, my wife Elga came home and gave me a great gift. I had just been laid off from a construction estimating position and was contemplating the ardous trek back into gainful employment, but she put a stop to that.

“Stay home with the boys and write,” she said. “Pursue your dreams.”

My novel involves a near future America where people only communicate through technology, humans live agoraphobically in a kind of technological womb. They never meet face to face and stepping outside is as unappealing as it is impractical. The Twenty-Year Reset challenges our embrace of the modern, social networked world overflowing with acquaintances masquerading as friends, where you can have dinner with a loved one and never take your eyes off of your cell phone. Where does humanity head when we become intrinsically interconnected by technology but our relationships become less substantial?

Alan,

A friend and fellow member of The Book Marketing Network, Eric Robert Nolan, is helping to get the word out about your book. I hope you can stop by his page and introduce yourself. He also puts out a blog on wordpress, as well as being the author of The Dogs Don't Bark In Brooklyn Any More.

Alan, after some difficulty with Marilyn trying to get your book onto my Kindle, I ended up buying it off Amazon last night and read the first couple of pages on the cloud reader. Pretty good so far :-)

Here's the link to this week's book review.
