ABOUT THE BOOK
Two childhood friends come of age in the hills of Appalachia and make their way to preaching by very different paths, Honey through a season of prostitution and Jimmey as a divinity student. As different as they are, Honey the apostle God sculpted from the heart of a whore and Jimmey the sojourner in the wilderness, their devotion to one another is unassailable—until tragedy threatens to shred to rags the parables and stories in which they’ve robed themselves trying to make sense of the world.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
James Carpenter was born and raised in a working class family in rural Mercer County, Pennsylvania, the oldest of four brothers. He made his way through college working variously as a farmhand, stock boy, short order cook, machinist, truck driver, soda jerk, janitor, switchboard operator, telemarketer, dishwasher, babysitter, day laborer, and foundry worker. After college, he taught middle and high school English until he retrained as a technologist and worked various jobs as a technical writer, computer programmer, and manager. He worked for many years as an independent software consultant, specializing in developing software and systems for technology startups.
He developed the Erica T. Carter software system that composed the poetry anthologized in the Issue 1 dustup. Erica’s poetry also found its way into a couple of dozen literary journals. He presented Erica at several conferences, including the University of Pennsylvania, Brown University, and the e-poetry conference in Paris. He has collaborated and shown artwork with his daughter, J Carpenter.
He spent 14 years as a member of the affiliated faculty of The Wharton School where he lectured in computer programming, system design, and entrepreneurship before retiring to write fiction. In addition to his previous novels, Nineteen to Go and No Place to Pray, his writing has appeared in numerous publications including The Chicago Tribune, Fiction International, North Dakota Quarterly, and Ambit.
He lives in the New Jersey Pine Barrens with his wife Rosetta.
