RANK: A NOVEL OF WALL STREET. Inspired by the recent spate of high-finance shenanigans, RANK is an inside look at the intense competition
between Wall Street securities analysts as they vie for power, prestige, popularity--and really big bonuses.
THE BABY CHASE. A novel about one couple's struggle with infertility: We were married
five years when she talked to her doctor about wanting children. I was a 33-year-old copywriter for an ad agency, and Thaisa,
35, did P.R. for a nonprofit. We ventured from our two-bedroom condo in L.A.
down the path of ovulation predictors, boxer shorts, and lies. Each month Thaisa
grew increasingly morose. I buried myself in work, and cybersex. When a prestigious fertility doctor recommended Pergonal to boost my sperm production--then suggested we
smuggle it in from Mexico!--my sense of reality took a detour.
LEARNING TO CRAWL. A comic-romantic novel about Barry Chasen, a 23-year-old struggling writer and the scion of an upper-middle-class
New York Jewish family, who's used a wheelchair since infancy, LEARNING TO CRAWL
spans one crazy weekend in L.A. when his world falls apart. Or so it seems.
