Many of you well know that I have been attempting to find an agent or publisher for my most recent novel, a thriller which I thought was pretty topical: the US military releases a biological weapon into the water supply of Russian Ukraine.
Alas, those well known fellas whose names scream out at you from the airport bookracks seem to have a lock on these kinds of easy-reading, non-literary page turners. So I have sent it back to the estimable Howard Wells, my editor (do not remind me he is in Ohio, not known as the hotbed of literary criticism) and next year I will self-publish this book. I am still looking for a decent title; right now it is called “Event” and it may stay that way.
As this will be my first novel, I do hope it gets some traction. It will be in paper and I may sneak it onto airport book racks when no one is looking.
About The Author
Stephen Honig
Stephen Honig has been writing fiction and poetry all his life. The sources of his writings are of course his life experiences: growing up in ethnic New York City; attendance at two alleged bastions of Ivy League erudition; a long career in the law with its attendant exposures to people, business and technology; reading everything eclectic along with alleged classics of the Western canon; wide travel including a gig in the USSR in the ‘70s to bring legal briefs to refuseniks; teaching at three colleges and at a law school in Russia; raising two families in very different generations. Now, Honig has completed his first novel, Event, a thriller combining the international espionage style of John Le Carre with the gripping pace of novels by James Patterson.
