I finally wrote my first novel. Its current title is Rollover. I started it around June 1994, and it's now officially searching for a publisher.

The book has the surface form of a techno-thriller--one friend said that I should describe it as "a Tom Clancy novel with the literary values of Haruki Murakami" --, but of course it's about, ahem, much deeper and more interesting issues. Which my authorial restraint will not let me discuss, because if it isn't evident after you've read it then I didn't do a very good job and I'm not entitled to say that it's about what I think it is.

The main character is Frog Hamillton, who runs a small consulting firm in San Francisco called Rollover Consulting, Inc. (RCI). The company specializes in fixing computer programs so that they won't break in the year 2000, when many old computer systems are predicted to break because of the way they store dates.

If I know you, and you like reading fiction (no, this isn't a science fiction novel), and you are interested, let me know and I may send you a copy of the manuscript for your comments. If you asked me for a copy, and I haven't responded or told you I'd send it but haven't yet, then please tell me again.

If you'd be content with an excerpt, then this may satisfy you.
