This is my novel, and after a really long time spent working on it, I think its very readable. This is what it looks like. That little patch of deep blue is Los Angeles. The gray represents the dessication of summer and the enormous amount of pavement. The pink on the title is for flesh, and hanging from a thread, that photo represents all the characters that embody LA. They are all hanging by a thread. To the right is the evil creator of the story.

About Edgy
Money matters disrupt a Hollywood power-couple’s ability to carry on, and so they compensate. Annette Jensen resurrects an old affair with a singer and buries herself in her daunting music industry career. Ever the daydreamer, her lawyer husband contemplates revenge and finds himself becoming inextricably tangled with the mafia. Set in LA and New York, amid the personal landscape of the industrious, and a fringe of disaffected characters living on the edge, this often touching, occasionally funny, and ultimately compelling novel barrels toward an unexpected resolution. EDGY offers an excellent window into the realm of folly.
