* C. M. Barons' novel, In the Midst Of, retro intrigue- offbeat 1970's rewind. Cunning allusions, stand-out characters, absorbing tension and settings most Rochesterians will recognize. Brian can't escape his past, namely, Hollis; badboy with more secrets than Karl Rove. Hollis is the aim, sure as the bull's eye on any Zen-archer's target.

"...a fine new American novel. Barons has the cosmic curiosity of Emerson, the appetite of Whitman, and the talent of Kerouac." Rod Clark, BookReview.com

"Refreshingly original, highly ambitious in scope and totally offbeat," Bill Chinaski, Alternative Reel

"...a gourmet meal! This book is a rarefied taste treat for the mind and spirit!" W. H. McDonald, The American Authors Association

When I taught preschool we'd listen to a tape of his stories at naptime (it was a recording of him reading the stories) and the kids would never fall asleep because they wanted to stay up and listen :) —HeatherYager
