    About this series

    What happens when eight young singles cope with Boston-area rent by living together in one big house? Simon Herbst finds out. He shares a bathroom with a woman who’s sexier than his girlfriend; gets caught up in disputes between his housemates; and finds ways to help or betray people who trust him. Near the end of the 1980s, Simon participates in a drug deal, falls in and out of love, and marches on Washington, describing it all with the dry wit of an intellectual college dropout. Simon is an older brother to Generation X, a nephew to the Flower Children, and an original Slacker. The woman of Simon’s dreams has enough ambition for the both of them... but does she like men?

      Patrick Coyne is sure that the drug authorities are out to get him. His psychiatrist calls it paranoia but Patrick isn’t so sure. Yet as a patient on a voluntary mental ward in during the late-1980s War on Drugs, he begins to feel oddly safe. Around him are other patients as well as staff members, each with their own concerns. When Patrick calms down the angry young Justine, he thinks his love life is about to improve. But there is a reason why she’s also in the hospital. Will legally prescribed drugs bring Patrick back to reality? And why won’t the staff let him have a girlfriend?

      Am I an elitist? This question occupies the thoughts of Melanie Dvorak, a liberal political columnist living in Boston. Approaching middle age in 1999, Melanie is in good health, is financially secure, and has an eccentric yet loyal husband. Yet she worries about losing credibility with her readership and feels guilty about her social status. A violent encounter in public gives Melanie notoriety and legal trouble but not fame on her own terms. Coping with her emotional issues leads to conflicts among her friends and unexpected complications. As the 20th Century ends, will a new millennium bring a new Melanie?

    I was born fifty-seven years ago in the Bible belt but grew up in a Massachusetts college town. I am married and my wife and I have moved frequently since we met. We've lived in Minnesota, Massachusetts, and New Mexico, as well as a brief residency in Berlin, Germany. I have worked peripherally in health care, banking, and insurance. In addition to writing, I have done a bit of amateur acting and comedy performances. I am afraid of heights but public speaking doesn't scare me. My wife and I live in Albuquerque with our chihuahua.
