Sinopsis

What could be more improbable than an author who joins his own characters in the story he is writing? It's as if he comes from a land where nobody suits him anymore. He craves literary revenge against a world full of unsympathetic publishers and out-of-order readers, and he takes on the prospect of melding himself from the reality of creative thought into his own fiction. He seems to think the perfect novel is one in which he can just go away and live in. The present crowds around him. Eventually, he escapes to search for and join in with his personnages predestined to give up his authority over them in order to enliven the mix of his people. To add to the mosaic, his characters are all 'addicted' to a strange disease common to writers: scripturgia, the urgent need to be writing all the time and are assembled at a meeting of the other AA: Authors Addicted.

Biografía del autor

Joel Rosenblum always loved reading and writing in school if only to avoid arithmetic. Growing up, he decided that books should really be sold in jewelry stores. And that writers are people who share; non-writers are those who aren't sure it is necessary to share. He first began with music upon hearing birds atwitter and so tried warbling back the same notes in a contest to see which of them would be willing to give up. And then soon realizing that if you want to lead the orchestra, you've got to turn your back on the crowd. He loves to sit at the keyboard-piano, computer or where he hangs his various door-openers. Two high-schools and three colleges later, he wedded the first time, eventually to wonder if the oft-repeated words "I didn't hear you" had irreparably degraded his marriage. No fear of destiny on the second try.
