All Her Father's Guns is a novel about a Libertarian venture capitalist striving to sabotage his ex-wife's Congressional campaign, with help from a British postmodern academic. Here are a few quotes about this novel from writers who've read it...

"In All Her Father's Guns, James Warner does to America's political extremes what Tom Wolfe did to the '80s in The Bonfire of the Vanities. Smart, provocative, hilarious." -- Kemble Scott

"You'll love All Her Father's Guns, the story of a venture capitalist and an academic whose words collide. It's full of bizarre and hilarious plot twists and larger-than life characters you won't be able to forget." -- Christine Comaford-Lynch

"I very much enjoyed this satire of the American Nightmare." -- John Grant

"All Her Father's Guns, by James Warner, is a terrific novel. It's literary, rollicking, fast-paced, funny, and deeply moving." -- Frank Baldwin

My reading from this novel at the 2006 Litquake festival was selected to be broadcast on 91.7 KALW as part of a writers' voice special. You can listen to my Litquake reading as played on KALW on the excellent DubLit site.

Another book I have out there is Amber Versus The Skeleton, kind of an Alice in Wonderland for children of divorce. I'm also putting the final touches on an ambitious novel about a cult and an Amazonian tribe, and am making headway with the definitive post-9/11 Gothic thriller about insects.
