Ghost of a Chance -- Book Review



My cousin, Boston radio personality Angela Bonin, read Ghost of a Chance and wrote this about it:

“Congratuations dear Cousin. You certainly created a couple of memorable characters, set in a compelling location, inside a fast-moving story. You are a master at dialogue. It rings true most of the time, and this is a major skill missing in lots of novelists. I also admire the way you end chapters. Many end not only logically, but with a strong visual image that lingers satisfyingly after you close the book. Buck is a man of integrity, but also deeply flawed with his alcoholism, which makes him interesting and foolish. You can see that he will never "get the girl" because he is so unstable and unreliable. And all through the chapters we keep hoping he will not continue to be his own worst enemy. You tell a good yarn. The story has multiple layers. It is easy to see this as a screen play and a movie. And it is easy to see how you can create more stories for Buck in a series.”

A reader brought to my attention that the interview, based on the prior announcement on this blog, could either be midnight Saturday, July 16 or midnight Sunday, July 17.  The interview is at midnight Saturday, actually 12 am on Sunday, July 17.  Sorry for the confusion (hope I get it right!) and I hope you’ll all be listening.  Thanks,  Eric  http://www.ericwilder.com

Tom Pope Interviews Eric Wilder

Eric Wilder appeared today on the Tom Pope Show, Powernomics Radio Network.  Topics included Wilder’s novel Ghost of a Chance, and what many believe to be a rapidly growing energy crisis that is already approaching critical mass.  Pope, a thoughtful, intelligent man, conversed with Wilder during the breaks, poignantly conveying the fears of his very large listening audience that the rapidly rising price of energy is not being addressed, either by the government or the private sector.  Like Pope, Wilder believes immediate dialogue must begin in order to address this important, perhaps one of the most important, issues facing the nation.  http://energyissues.modblog.com  http://www.ericwilder.com
