Hear Me Read My Work
The Monkey In the Cove |
I'm submitting this Historical Fantasy short story, set in 1967 California. That year was called both the Summer of Love; for the blossoming counter culture, and the Long Hot Summer; for the hundreds of race riots that exploded across the nation.
A mixed race, college student couple is overcome with shock when a Monkey god arrives, offering his services for a cause they didn't know they had. Uncertain of how to proceed, the trio attends the seminal Monterey Music Festival, where they get the idea to focus on racial harmony. Later they prevent the wrenching five day Detroit race riot from happening, and help usher in a new phase of humanism for the United States. |
Convergence Book 1: Think Big |
I am searching for an agent to represent my book. In the opening, Huascar is a contender in the Trials, to prove himself worthy of a promotion to his dream position of Field General.
Will his risky, nuanced scheme to oust the Alliance from establishing an illegal base demonstrate to them that he can be reasonable? Or will it only stoke suspicions about their established enemies and end in bloodshed? |
