Thanks for asking about my book. I write what you could call narrative nonfiction or literary journalism. I'm in the research stage now so a lot remains to be seen. But I want to tell a story about where Holyoke is today, and where it's going, framed in context of its history. I see it as the rise, fall, and rebirth of a town, in a nutshell. Holyoke is such a diverse place, and I want to capture that with an interesting mix of characters that will help being the town's story to life.
