Here’s What I’ve Been Working On

With the release of Death in the Kremlin I’ve taken a temporary pause on the Michael Nicholas AI inspired series. I’ll pick it up again soon with the book that’s tentatively titled, Where Did They Go? featuring a newly elected pope from Queens, NY who, fearing that people no longer believe in the virgin birth and the resurrection, sets out to have his Papacy formally investigate what has happened to the nearly 150 billion human beings who have died.

But I have also completed two other very different manuscripts that are in various stages with editors and prospective agents and publishers.

In the first, The Unfinished Paris Novel, a reporter-turned-novelist uncovers a scheme by Hitler’s inner circle to hide an art masterpiece for the future benefit of their descendants, but, years later, before they can find it, someone begins killing each one of them off. 

The second, Behind the Rectory Door, is fiction based upon a true story: a young bookkeeper uncovers her priest’s secret life of limousines, luxury homes, and a “wedding” to his boyfriend at the exclusive Pierre Hotel—funded by parishioners’ donations—and risks everything to expose him. I completed this story several years ago, but now, with the help of author Steve Manchester, I’m finally ready to have it in front of agents and publishers.

My life is full. I write, I’m a full-time consultant to a major real estate company, and I have a tremendous wife, family, a few good friends, and a most demanding and intuitive mini-Golden doodle.

I enjoy writing—and living—in that space somewhere between reality and fiction. I’m lucky and I know it.

Best,

EJ
