I spent the 80s chasing tail, lying, traveling, indulging my every whim.
simpson-books.com
I spent the 90s writing, writing, writing, as though it was some kind of penance. Managed to publish seven novels with some measure of success:
This Way Madness Lies
The Gypsy Storyteller
Full Moon Over America
The Fingerprints of Armless Mike
The Caretaker
The Hancock Boys
The Editor
A lot of work, stress and strain.
Burned myself out. Very crispy. Took a long trip. Wandered aimlessly. Got married. Had some kids. Life is sweet.
I've been writing again. And setting up my own publishing house: SIMPSON BOOKS
The Ferryman
Careful Who You Cross
Annie's War
A Brief History of Women in America
The Affair
The Passage
adrift
3131 Ocean Avenue

The setting is the back country up north, like Up-State New York or Mass. or maybe New Hamphshire or Vermont. The main characters father was the son of a rich tycoon and was a Senator for years. The Grandfather made all the money and is the most interesting character. The story never really tells you exactly where it occurs which becomes frustrating because the story is told in a way that makes it sound like a real place and real events. Most of the story is about the fight to stop the federal government from putting up a damn right in the middle of Grand-daddy's country estate (which he basically stole from the Indians - the damn would put his "little piece of heaven" under water, and which has become the home of most of the family clan, sort of like the Kennedy's Cape Cod compond. The main character and his girl-friend/wife eventually prevail but the woman dies in what is only understood as a suicide involving the damn. The main character then "moons" the President (who was the Governor of the State when the fight over the damn was brewing) and then runs for President himself, as the fresh face in Washington, the real "people's canditate".
The book takes the form of entries in the main character's journals both past and present so there is a lot of jumping around and too much unnecessary detail. It's just too long to get to the point. The book begins and ends with a constitutional crisis being reported by the "Dan Rather" of the country at this time - the Election of 2000 (I think). The problem is the people's candidate who bares his but as a form of political protest is not 35 years old (the minimum age required by our Constitution). No one in power wants this "kid" with no experience and no manners (sounds like Slick Willie to me) to be sworn in as President. I still don't know what my friend saw in the book.
