I am at work on a novel entitled Two Months of the Mouse. In this blog I will discuss aspects of that process.

Five of my previous novels have been published: one by Warner Books and four by Fawcett Books (a division of Random House). For information about those books, please go to my website by clicking here.

I try to reply to all e-mailed comments and questions. Please write to me at: mouse@philipluber.com.

The right column of the blog contains a list of all posts in their order of creation, first to last. In my opinion, navigating through that list is the best way for a new visitor to read this blog.

Clicking on the links below this paragraph will control what you see in the left column of the blog: all posts in reverse-chronological order (last to first), a brief overview of the story, or the first chapter of the book.
