Yet Today
Yet Today
by Anthony Caplan
Genre: Contemporary Family Thriller
School's out for summer, and that's when Gillum Kaosky heads for the exits. Poised somewhere between neediness and nothingness, Kaosky sets out for summer adventures.
Gillum is a Spanish teacher. He's been married for twenty years and has three children with his wife Sibyl. They have raised their family on a farm in central New Hampshire. But this summer, Gillum lands a job that will change everything: wire-tapping the Dominican crime families responsible for bringing heroin and fentanyl into northern New England. Meanwhile, his son, Jonah breaks into the Department of Defense in a hack attempt that lands him in jail. Nothing remains the same, and love does not always conquer all in Yet Today, a thrilling, contemporary family saga from Anthony Caplan.
Anthony Caplan is an independent writer, teacher and homesteader in northern New England. He has worked at various times as a shrimp fisherman, environmental activist, journalist, taxi-driver, builder, window-washer, and telemarketer, (the last for only a month, but one week he did win a four tape set of the greatest hits of George Jones for selling the most copies of Time-Life’s The Loggers.) Currently, Caplan is working on restoring a 150 year old farmstead where he and his family tend sheep and chickens, grow most of their own vegetables, and have started a small apple orchard from scratch His road novels, BIRDMAN and FRENCH POND ROAD, trace the meanderings of one Billy Kagan, a footloose soul striving after sanity and love in the last years of the last century. His latest fiction effort, LATITUDES – A Story of Coming Home, to be released on Kindle, Nook and Smashwords and paperback in the summer of 2012, is a young boy’s transformative journey overcoming dysfunction, dislocation and distance.

Love the plot! What a summer job, to wiretap a crime family!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Denise. It blows his whole life to pieces! Not what he thought he was getting into. Check out the book and if you do, let me know what you think!
DeleteLike the cover... plain & straightforward with pics that hint at the story. Like the bear trap! How does a Spanish teacher land that kind of job? OK, he knows the language, but shouldn't he need other special training?
ReplyDeleteNo, linguists undergo security checks. Kaosky's background check is detailed in the book. Thanks, Irene. I wish I was signing copies, but this is almost as good!
DeleteThe cover is intriguing. I like how it was done.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debby. I will take credit for it. i was fed up with paying big bucks for mediocre results and thought I'd give it a try. Beginner's luck maybe.
DeleteSounds great - thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHey, thank you for coming on board the tour, Ellen. I wish I could sign you a copy, but that's not what happens on a virtual tour, I guess! Check out the book if you get a chance!

ReplyDeleteThe storyline of the novel is very intriguing and sounds like a great read. Best wishes to the author on the new release. I would love to set up camp on an old farmstead. How interesting to start an apple orchard and I wonder how difficult in northern New England. I grew up enjoying the fruits of an abandoned orchard for years. What fun to sit in the trees and eat what you liked. I promise not to visit and do the same. I couldn't climb the trees anyway.
ReplyDeleteThe book sounds interesting and the cover is cool.
ReplyDeleteTotalling interesting idea for a book! Thank you for sharing!
