As a magazine editor in New York City, I've spent a career getting to know all sorts of real-life characters, good and bad. Some are famous, some are infamous and some are just downright odd and annoying. Now it's time to channel some of what I've observed into a novel. I've been working on this for a long time (after all, I have a day job). But I'm constantly editing this work and will continue to do so until it's published... or until I throw the damn thing into the Hudson River.NOTE: Thanks to all of you who helped The Prophet of Doom earn an Authonomy gold star and reach the HarperCollins editor's desk. I am deeply grateful. It was a special privilege to finish in the top five with my friend Patrick Barrett, the talented author of Shakespeare's Cuthbert. Get well soon, Patrick. We have some celebrating to do. :-)Cheers - Mark

Kev, I've read enough to know this is a well written thriller that takes time to build strong characterization. Chapter two, with Chris is a perfect example. (He's a bold guy, having sex with the guy's wife while he's sleeping upstairs.) The mix of narration and dialogue seems spot on. Good stuff.... view book
Helen, I like your voice here. This is very strong storytelling. The writing flows smooth and easy, a real pleasure to read. I can see Renia has her own concerns about her gift of seeing the future, and she clearly has a lot to deal with early on in this book with the rescue of the stranger on the ... view book
There is something about the juxtaposition of a prison cell in Winslow, Arizona, and an alien friend named Ron that just seems to work splendidly. This is such an entertaining, well written book. I laughed when that cigarette butt falls between driver Jeff Lightfoot's legs in the car and smoke billo... view book
Janet, I think this races along faster than any vampire story I've seen on authonomy. Viadimir is a murderer, of course, but I like this guy! Who could resist a vampire who says: "I'm a good looking guy and I know it. If that makes me arrogant, so I'm arrogant. Sue me." Love it. The pace is just... view book
Helen, This is very interesting. There seems to be a lot of science in this science fiction, which is a real strength. I happen to think, for instance, that worm holes could exist and may allow humans to someday travel great distances in a heartbeat. Who knows? Martha obviously has a great vantage ... view book
