"Every Angel is Terrifying" is now out in paperback!

The first novel of my Motorcycle Girl Trilogy is now out in paperback! And it’s much cheaper: a reasonable $45.

The book tells the story of a young, artistically inclined girl growing up on a military base in West Phoenix in the 1970s and 80s. Her father is a genetic engineer working with the military on creating the first human clone. She has no idea that her adopted “brother” is a clone. The book is a hybrid—like Melville’s Moby Dick—of fiction and nonfiction, as she inherits her father’s three notebooks—red, black and white—and reads through them learning about the mysteries of biological evolution on the earth (from a Goethean morphological perspective, of course).

The book is written in the form of a caduceus, as her autobiographical narrative weaves back and forth with her father’s notebooks. It is a sort of right brain / left brain dance. Or, if you prefer, the humanities heckling the sciences as she makes lots of sarcastic, and very funny, comments. She is a kind of grown up version of Lewis Carroll’s Alice wandering across different gnosis-scapes (and across the trilogy through heaven and hell and everything in between).

This is not a book for the dumb mob. It is aimed at literate and intelligent people who are well acquainted with world literature. For those who find it difficult, I’ve made a skeleton key video for it, which can be found on You Tube here:
