MAZE MASTER is getting some nice advance praise…

     “MAZE MASTER is a masterpiece of a bio-thriller that seamlessly melds science and superstition into a      tale as relentless as it is riveting. Kathleen Gear has lent credence and credibility to the end-of-the-world tale championed by the likes of WORLD WAR Z, I AM LEGEND, and Stephen King’s THE STAND. This is speculative storytelling at its level best, weaving cutting edge genetics into a puzzle that must be solved if mankind is to survive. A master of the historical novel, Gear proves herself equally adept at handling the future in this cure for the common thriller.”

Jon Land, USA TODAY bestselling author of the Caitlin Strong series and THE RISING

Hi All!

I just shipped off the final revisions to my thriller, MAZE MASTER, which is coming out in July.  

It’s been an interesting editorial process this year. There are a few pivotal editors–I mean truly great editors–in literary history: Maxwell Perkins, Gordon Lish, Judith Jones, among a handful of others.  Remember the classic Tom Wolfe novel, LOOK HOMEWARD, ANGEL? Maxwell Perkins made Wolfe take out 90,000 words… That’s why we consider it a classic.  

My editor at St. Martin’s Press, Peter Wolverton, falls into the Perkins group.  It’s been a pleasure and a privilege to work with him on this book. 

Hope you are all healthy and happy.  Winter has come to Wyoming.  As I write, frosty buffalo are frolicking through the snow in the meadow outside my window.  

Stay Warm!

Kathy
