About me:

Alive in Necropolis by Doug Dorst is the selection for One City One Book: San Francisco Reads 2009!

Dorst’s thriller, set in the city of San Francisco and the cemeteries of Colma, is one part crime novel, one part ghost story, tinged with humor and heart. Among many colorful characters, the book features a rookie Colma cop navigating a world of both the dead and alive, and a San Francisco teen, struggling with his own version of reality.

"Like Dashiell Hammett, Dorst conveys a hard-bitten love of the physical San Francisco, the fog-swallowed town, the sun after rain, the mineshaft drops in temperature….The fiction seems to possess, and be possessed by, its beloved Bay.” - New York Times Book Review

Read Alive in Necropolis over the summer to get ready for programs and events in September and October 2009! Instant book club. Just add friends!!

Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone and everyone who lives in San Francisco and likes to talk about (and laugh and debate and share and be inspired by) what they read. Readers, writers, local writers, publishers, bookstores, lit mags, local venues, literary events, book festivals, SF festivals, SF high schools, libraries, and librarians too!

Hello, One City One Book! I'm a new Harper Perennial author, reaching out to some of Harper Perennial’s book-loving friends.

BEING WRITTEN is my first novel, and it will be released on September 9. It’s the story of a man who knows he’s a minor character in a book and the lengths to which he’ll go to win a bigger part.



You can find out more about the novel in this one-minute video, on my MySpace profile, and at www. williamconescu. com. Thanks again!

Hey OCOB Fans,

Time to throw that makeout party your mom never let you have.

Mortified: Love Is a Battlefield. In stores now.

PRAISE FOR THE BOOK:
"If Schadenfreude was an Olympic sport, then this book would be its illegal performance-enhancing drug. The baring of souls is seldom this funny or touching. David Nadelberg is the Pied Piper of pre-adult pain."
