Follow the life of Richard Jeter, a young author uprooting from the small-town South he grew up in and setting out on his own to the greatest urban jungle on the planet; New York City. "New York Minutes" provides a nearly day-by-day glimpse into the trials of such a transfer, the kinds of unique challenges it presents, and how your view of the world and humanity itself can make all the difference in how well you cope. Presented as a journal full of rants, introspections, sketches, and anecdotes, Minutes is a good read for anyone who has ever been prone to getting lost in their own head from time to time and wondered if anyone else out there felt the same way. | ||

A press release for the new Stephanie Cowell novel, MARRYING MOZART
MARRYING MOZART - "a believable and appealing portrait of Mozart" (Los Angeles Times) – A NEW NOVEL
|
"Cowell's portrait of Mozart is subtly done: understated, balanced and believable, conveying his youthful high spirits and occasional silliness as well as his essential seriousness, kindliness and decency..." The Los Angeles Times February 2, 2004
Dear friends, Marrying Mozart, a novel about the young Mozart and a family of four musical sisters, has just been released by Viking Penguin in the United States. It is available on line and in bookstores across the country. It will appear in Italian translation this September, and in German in 2005. |

The lives of the four Weber sisters are changed by the arrival of twenty-one-year-old Wolfgang Mozart, a young man struggling to find his place in the eighteenth-century musical world.The sisters will inspire him with their singing; he will write great music for them (including the Queen of the Night) and fall in love with at least two of them. But the one he eventually marries is not the one he first loves. The Los Angeles Times: Equally remarkable is her depiction of her heroines' temperaments — mixtures of naivete and sophistication, sentiment and common sense, sensuality and piety and, above all, a wonderful, passionate kind of romantic innocence and sincerity. Marrying Mozart is a charming novel, so much so that one would enjoy it even if the gentleman involved in these girls' lives were not one of the greatest geniuses in the history of music. As it is, however, it also has the virtue of offering a believable and appealing portrait of Mozart himself. " Kirkus Reviews gave the novel a star for outstanding quality and said, "With its frequent changes in locale and abrupt switches in the objects of affection, the tale is reminiscent of nothing so much as an opera—appropriately enough. A delight, at once fanciful and erudite: richly satisfying to Mozart buffs and fascinating to those in the outer circle as well.” Publishers’ Weekly said: "A graceful and entertaining historical [novel]...the tale is as rich and unhurried as 18th-century court life." This is my fourth published novel. I am an American Book award winner and a lyric coloratura soprano.
