Manuscripts in progress: Marvin Spector

Marvin Spector has been writing his novel, Die High, for about ten years now; a long, terrific, fictionalized account of his journeys around the world back on the Hippie Trail.

"When a person feels so good that s/he says if I die now it would be ok, then s/he is willing to die high," writes Marvin. I know personally that Marvin has worked exceedingly hard on this amazing journey: a piece of history from an amazing era.

Marvin Spector is also a well-polished poet and has read his wonderful poems in the Bay Area for many years.

He is not willing to search for an agent until his work is done. I hear that it is almost finished. He has worked very hard with Bay Area Beat poet and writing teacher, Clive Matson, (http://www.matsonpoet.com/cmpoetry.shtml) for five years, writing and polishing. It is beautifully written, as a poet might do.
