When I wrote "Man Is A Disaster, Air Conditioning Is Divine", I was unprepared for my own reaction and the revelations that followed.
I'm pretty oridnary. I have my family, my degrees, and my business. I enjoy movies, comic books, and working out. I have my dogs, and wonderful friends.
Without intending it to be, "Man Is A Disaster, Air Conditioning Is Divine" is, in many ways, my autobiography (and in many ways it isn't - I don't want the police knocking at my door; unless they've all bought the book, of course), and the biography of any of us. For you, and I, and my characters, one thing is true; when someone who you love lies to you it makes any intelligent person question every other important choice that he or she has ever made.
And then? Your moorings are gone, and anything is possible.
I learned a lot about myself when I wrote "Man Is A Disaster, Air Conditioning Is Divine". You'll learn a lot about yourself when you read it.
