In light of the fact that on this date in 1945, Hiroshima was destroyed by the first wartime use of an atomic bomb, I thought I’d plug my novel, “City of Seven Rivers.” The story, set in 1995, is about a Marin County junior high student who suspects that Myron Hunter, the 74-year-old recluse next door is in fact Arden Hennessey, former bombardier on the Enola Gay. The boy’s suspicions counter the widely held belief that Hennessey, whose postwar success as a painter would nearly be undone by unrelenting guilt over the death and destruction he himself unleashed upon Hiroshima, leaped off the Golden Gate Bridge on the 10-year anniversary of the bombing. There are some reviews on Amazon/Barnes & Noble (none of which I wrote….)

PS – Anytime anyone suggests that the scenario I’ve written about didn’t actually occur I remind them that Jack and Rose weren’t really on the Titanic.

(Forgive the plug, but if I don’t do it who will? And if you’ve read it, feel free to post a review at Amazon or Barnes & Noble. And tell a friend. Thanks.)
