Out on the Perimeter

Author Chris Reynolds has spent years composing two full length novels. He’s had no success in finding representation for either of them, or publishers for any of his shorter works. Chris has tried to market the books for a very long time following their completion, accumulating a stack of rejections in the process. He eventually becomes disillusioned and seriously considers giving up writing all together.Regardless of this attitude, Chris still has a burning desire to write that he cannot shake. However, he can’t motivate himself to embark on another traditional narrative novel, with all the planning and thought required. Then, the notion comes to him to create something without strict structure or form; sort of an exercise in free association in which he won’t have to deal with plot and transition. He’ll be able to relax at the computer and simply riff on whatever comes into his head.OUT ON THE PERIMETER, totaling over 100,000 words, is the end result of Chris’s efforts. It is a collection of segments comprising items he’s either heard about, thought of, observed, or experienced in life. The material might be informative, obscure, profound, or even ridiculous, depending on Chris’s mood during a particular sitting. Somehow it all comes together in a strange way to a thought provoking conclusion.OUT ON THE PERIMETER is a light-hearted book that doesn’t take itself too seriously. It provides plenty of laughs while imparting some insightful writing. Any aspiring writer who has experienced the frustrations associated with getting a publisher will find this book particularly interesting.
