that Carol arranged stuck with that theme.

Hi, folks. This is the website & blog to promote my unpublished novel, The Electric Adventures of Alvin, Part Two. It's erotic satire about an obsessive-compulsive mail-room worker who anonymously publishes a pornographic autobiography which becomes a huge best seller -- a catastrophic development that threatens his marriage and his life. I won't go into the whole plot here (the other pages on this site contain short & long summaries, excerpts, and the full text of the book), but I'll tell you that it's an original and (I hope) funny look at the quirkier sides of pop-culture, religion, the literary world and Internet sex.

I've been trying to find a publisher or literary agent for awhile. Anyone who has explored the mainstream publishing market today knows that getting these folks to even take a serious look at something from an unpublished author is akin to winning the lottery, so I'm not getting too discouraged about the rejection emails piling up in my in-box. (alvinpart2@yahoo.com, if you want to add your own personalized rejection letter. :) I thought I////////////////
