It’s Only “The Lonely Ones”
A bit of cheery news to take you into the weekend. I’m still at it. Another novel is on the way. I don’t doubt many of you canceled your subscription to Publisher’s Marketplace after their ill-advised, NSFW “Softer Side of Norman Mailer” pictorial. So you probably missed the following book deal announcement from a few days back:
DWEEB author Aaron Starmer’s THE LONELY ONES, a whimsical, apocalyptic fable about the last innocent boy in the world and his journey to a village of oddball children who see either salvation or doom in the giant machine he asks them to build out of the scraps of an amusement park, to Michelle Poploff at Delacorte, by Elisabeth Weed at Weed Literary.
My marketing savvy is matched only by my laziness, so I will withhold any additional information for the time being. I’ll entice y’all in the future with some trailers and other teasers. For now, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Elisabeth, to Michelle and the fine folks at Delacorte, and to my wife Cate, who supported me when I said to her, “you know, the apocalypse is great and all, but it could use a few laughs.”
