RAT Sick! Sick! Sick! and Shameless Plug for Me! Me! Me!

[DESILEF@cs.com]

Hi, all --
    For those of you who've asked about it, and those of you who haven't (and 
with apologies to BCT-list folks who've already received this), my novel 
Radiant Hunger is now available through the blessing of print-on-demand 
technology and can be ordered from on-line booksellers and brick-and-mortar 
on-the-street bookstores in your neighborhood. 
    The novel is about the aftermath of a violent cult - its effect on 
people's lives decades later. The commercial editors who were interested in 
it believed I was one of the Manson children now grown up, and promptly lost 
interest when I admitted I'm not. (OK - I shoulda lied. But you know, it's 
fiction.) When I read from the work-in-progress in NYC, Laurie Stone wrote in 
the Village Voice, "Lefer carves a tattoo in the reader -- a trumpet blast of 
distress..." (after which I was advised not to attend an upcoming publishing 
party because - as I'm also ashamed to admit - I don't have any actual 
tattoos.) No, it's not a 
happy little book. 
    But if you have peculiar tastes... this might be for you.
    Thanks for sitting still for this announcement.
Diane Lefer
