I went to New York for a meeting, and I now have a new agent, Jim McCarthy at Dystel & Goderich Literary Management. Jim will begin by representing my new novel, The Laughter and Sadness of Sex.  

You can read the first three chapters of the novel by clicking on the cover (the photo) above.  The story focuses on 35-year-old physicist Gunnar Gunderson, born and raised in Wisconsin, who teaches physics at the University, in Madison.  Having just received tenure, he decides it's time for a wife.  To look, he creates hypotheses, but he's a clueless man deep into his specialty, the physics of cold at absolute zero. Love and quantum mechanics swirl in this comedy of manners.

You will need Adobe Reader to read it (automatic on most computers).
