NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE ONLINE
"Hot Air" is now available for purchase online at amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, borders.com or publishamerica.com. Some real estate agents should be careful before purchasing, for they may recognize themselves and get a little insulted. (Or a lot insulted.) The same may be true of a few landlords, trade magazine publishers, home product salesmen, and even an accountant or two. All others: enjoy!

"Hot Air," the novel, coming soon...
"Hot Air" will be published in March.
Synopsis:
Jeff Wiser, a 30-year-old struggling writer, wants to find a new apartment before he kills his bastard of a landlord, a new job before his blowhard of a boss kills him, and some validation as a writer before he kills himself.
Jeff and his wife Liz, a commercial artist, move into an apartment above Bagels on the Beach in historic Cape May, at the southern tip of New Jersey. And though it is an apartment that’s not quite on the level (eggs roll off the kitchen table with no effort at all), and one that features an antiquated plumbing system that delivers fresh-cooked rice directly into their bathtub (but not their rice), Jeff and Liz love the place dearly; after all, how many people can say they live across the street from the beach in a famous Victorian resort town?
Besides, there’s a mysterious man in the village who looks like Benjamin Harrison, the U.S. president who had his Summer White House in Cape May. That’s what Jeff really likes about living there; he’s writing a television movie called Harrison and thinks this mystery man might finally bring him some of the luck that has been so damn elusive.
The Wisers (with their four-year-old daughter Jillian) strive to make apartment life bearable despite all odds. The year-long trek around which Hot Air revolves takes Jeff from Cape May, where he has to deal with everything from a near-naked neighbor to a manuscript-hating bee, to New York City, where his bladder is almost brainwashed by a newspaper publishing cult, to Dallas, where he comes tantalizingly close to selling Harrison to a bald, honey-cookie-baby TV producer, and then back to Cape May, for a climactic hot-air balloon festival. It is at this festival where his boss, his landlord, and the Man Who Looks Like Benjamin Harrison prove to him, with barely a second to spare, that fate, luck—and other people—are as important in life as elusive dreams and goals.
Hot Air will be released and distributed by PublishAmerica in March 2008.
