I'm an avid moviegoer. Surely I will one day write a novel about that obsession. My first novel THE PROSPECT OF MY ARRIVAL made it to the Top 3 in the 2008 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards. I live in Chicago. My new novel in progress is called THE HOPE STORE. In the Strongest Start Novel Contest, the book advanced to the Top 6 out of 400 for lit fiction. My Page One just advanced here to the next stage. Thanks! My site is: dwightland.homestead.com
