Here we go

I'm so excited about my new book that I have to start sharing some of it. It's most definitely NOT a sequel to the last one, which I understand may be a major disappointment. I need to take a break from those characters, as lovable as they may be, and write something completely different! So that's what Eagle Scouting is all about.
It's fun, it's angry, it's gritty - and it's back in Connecticut, where I returned about 11 years ago after almost 20 years in New York City. So yes, you can go home again - and sometimes, the reward is in the journey.
There seems to be a recurring theme in my work, which I did not notice until a few years ago. Apparently, my writing is about going home and facing the past. In my first novel, the main character returns to Turkey, where she was born, after living 15 years in New York without looking back. Naturally, the return is reluctant, and turns out to be life-changing.
The new book, Eagle Scouting, features a photographer (again living in NYC - is there a trend here?) who returns home and starts investigating the violent death of her brother. Things are not as they seem, and the stories of both brother and sister are interwoven in a fast-paced read.
