Hi! For all my long-suffering and infinitely patient fans, it’s now official. Random House has bought my new novel and it will be coming out….well, I don’t actually know when it will be coming out. There’s still the rewrite to do with my editor and then the galleys and stuff, but hopefully soon.

The novel is called THE ROAD TO ROSWELL, and it’s a comedy about UFOs and alien abduction (I mean, what else could it be but a comedy when aliens are involved?)
Here’s the setup:
Francie has come to New Mexico to be the maid-of-honor in her best friend Serena’s wedding (and hopefully to be there so her friend can confide in her if she wants to back out at the last minute, which Francie hopes she does.) Serena’s done this before–she’s dated a number of strange guys: base jumpers, psychics, and now a UFO nut– and the wedding’s going to be in the UFO Museum in Roswell during the annual UFO Festival, which occurs every year on the anniversary of the famous Roswell incident, when a flying saucer crashed somewhere outside of Roswell and then was hauled off to Area 51 or Hangar 18 or something. Anyway, Francie, who doesn’t believe any of this nonsense, has to go to Serena’s car to pick up some decorations for the wedding, and when she reaches in the back seat, she’s grabbed by an alien who forces her to be his driver on a wild trip across the Southwest, a trip during which he picks up assorted other people–a handsome, hitchhiking conman, a sweet old lady, a Western movie enthusiast– and insists on stopping at curio shops, casinos, and Las Vegas wedding chapels on the way to wherever it is he’s going.
The novel’s all done, except for my editor’s rewriting suggestions, and I’ve had a wonderful time working on it (except that because of my research I’ve been stuck with ads for Las Vegas wedding chapels and their bizarre themed weddings on my phone for the last two years.)
My other news is that now that THE ROAD TO ROSWELL is done, I’m working on a new time travel novel involving the Oxford historians, Romantic poets, Tintern Abbey, the Inklings, and Lewis Carroll. It’s tentatively called THE SPANNER IN THE WORKS, and no, I don’t know when it will be done. I JUST STARTED IT!
I’ll let you know as soon as I know when THE ROAD TO ROSWELL will be out.
In the meantime, I’ve edited a collection about the history of the American Christmas short story which will be out this Christmas. It has stories in it by everybody from Louisa May Alcott to Damon Runyon and Pete Hamill, with some of your favorites, some you may never have heard of, and a whole assortment of science fiction, fantasy, Western, and mystery stories. I’ll keep you posted about that publication date, too. [American Christmas Stories, out on Oct 19th]
And on a personal note, we’re all hanging in there through the Pandemic, though I’m starting to feel like a character in the JURASSIC PARK franchise. Just when I think the dinosaurs are all dead, here they come again!
So, if you haven’t yet, PLEASE get the vaccine. We’re all vaccinated here, but still wearing masks and staying close to home since we live in a county full of yahoos who still think it’s a hoax, the vaccine will turn them magnetic, it will make them barren, etc. And now school’s starting!
Stay well and safe, everybody!
And I hope you like the new book.
