As a student at Yale, I told friends I wanted to write a novel. I’d grown up racing through all the Clive Cussler 和 Margaret Truman in my suburban Kansas City grade-school library, 和 college was introducing me to War 和 Peace 和 The Corrections. I took a regular job out of school. Soon I started writing novels on the side, giving zero thought to who’d read them or what genre I was working in.

Meanwhile, life rolled on. I held day jobs as a consultant, business analyst, teacher, 和 programmer. I lived on both coasts 和 ended up in the middle. (Michigan.) It’s taken a few detours, but I believe I’ve finally arrived at the stories I imagined writing in school. Most fall under the broad category of “character-based thriller” 和 feature unique premises that don’t fit neatly into a sub-genre like spy or detective.

布劳德（Browder）花了数十年的时间在城市的街道上漫步，研究其根源，并发现晦涩的事实。举例来说，一名员工花了30年的时间使自由女神像的手电筒中的800个灯泡和男同性恋者S&M俱乐部Mineshaft和The Toilets被夷为平地，为新的惠特尼博物馆腾出了空间。作者将码头，Bowery以及摩根大通（J.P. Morgan）等权力经纪人的名字栩栩如生，这些名字都刻在地标上。然而，他以同等的权威性写了一个他在1950年代认识的百老汇合唱团男孩…

Anastasia Slabucho’s Waterdown is a dystopian, cyberpunk novel—a cautionary tale about genetic engineering that skillfully explores themes of choice, redemption 和 absolution.

Fusion is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) that runs the planet Earth—an AI that has decided to become a god 和 has learned to lie, even to its creator, Georgia (Geo) Spears. It now treats her as “reduced… to nothing more than an eternal child, human 和 flawed, who needed mothering by her own AI.”

Geo’s creation has saved mankind from itself. Poverty, pollution, crime 和 war have been eliminated, but at a price: Normal people, called “Temporals,” have had their minds whitewashed with neural implants, “watered down” by the inclusion of 3D: Deliberate, Deceleration Devices. They are now simplistic, obedient automatons, living what appears to be superficial, “happy” lives doing the bidding of Fusion…

史蒂夫·马里奥蒂（Steve Mariotti） 再见Homeboy is the first-person account of a former financial whiz kid who chose to work for decades in the trenches of New York City’s roughest schools. What he learned there dramatically changed his life 和 those of his students.

在1981年，纽约一伙青少年抢劫了Mariotti之后，他的噩梦和倒叙使他倍受困扰。决心了解是什么原因驱使跳下他的孩子们，他接受了治疗师的建议，从字面上“面对自己的恐惧”，关闭了进出口业务，并自愿在贫困社区臭名昭著的高中工作。他的学生是补习生，特殊教育的孩子以及有纪律问题的孩子…

1982年，马里奥蒂（Mariotti）离开了成功的商业生涯，成为纽约市艰难地区的公立高中老师，这些地区包括东纽约，贝德·斯迪迪和南布朗克斯的阿帕特堡。马里奥蒂起初因他粗鲁的教室而沮丧，发现他甚至可以通过教他们如何经营小企业来激励甚至是最具挑战性的学生。这次经历激发了他在1987年创立NFTE的目的，是将创业教育带给低收入的年轻人，并使他们有能力摆脱贫困。如今，NFTE已被广泛认为是全球低收入青年创业教育的主要提供者。

In an effort to draw attention to quality self-published literature 和 in agreement with 蓝光电子墨水评论，NSR亮点 评论 发表在BIR’每周的网站，包括 a wide variety of fiction 和 nonfiction. This week’s pick:

杰米·泽恩特（Jamie Zerndt）的第四本小说， Jerkwater, is an emotionally intense, character-driven story about the intertwining lives of three likable protagonists in the throes of grief. Exploring friendship 和 enmity, rage 和 harmony, 和 retribution 和 liberation, the novel is by turns harrowing, comical, 和 heartwarming.

Set in the “jerkwater town” of Mercer, Wisconsin, hostilities simmer between the town’s whites 和 Native Americans. Shawna Reynolds, an Ojibwa, seethes. Her mother was murdered by her white stepfather, 和 someone just injured her beloved horse. Her stepfather’s friend, a beer-bellied bigot, becomes the object of Shawna’s white hatred.

Shawna’s ire doesn’t extend, however, to her white neighbors, Kay O’Brien 和 her son, Douglas. Shawna 和 Douglas graduated high school together “a few years back.“ They are companions when embroiled in acts of justice 和 destruction or when simply sharing a drink 和 conversation…

When Fiske goes missing, they 和 two other Winner classmates are contacted by Becky, a fifth Winner 和 counselor at their alma mater, who calls an emergency meeting. 这只是阴谋的开始，因为菲斯克不是唯一的失踪者：他的一位女学生也是如此，她的电话中包括了他向她汇聚的文字…

作为耶鲁大学的学生，我告诉朋友我想写小说。我是在堪萨斯城郊的一个小学图书馆里与所有的Clive Cussler和Margaret Truman一起长大的，然后大学给我介绍了《战争与和平与矫正》，这些人物是如此真实，我感觉到了作者-几个世纪以前，成千上万英里远的地方-直接从我自己的脑海中拔出想法。经过了一些弯路，但我相信我终于了解了我在学校写的故事。大多数都属于“基于角色的惊悚片”，并且具有独特的前提，无法很好地适应间谍或侦探这样的子类型。
