The Allston Variant

Additional Blurbs Received

By Phillip Temples Leave a comment

I received two additional blurbs for the cover of my upcoming scientific mystery-thriller “The Allston Variant.” Many thanks to Greg and Luke for their kind words:

“The Allston Variant, Phil Temples’ frighteningly plausible new novel, enthralls with its breathtaking pace and complex heroine, scientist/undercover agent Carrie Bloomfield, while elucidating the latest advances in biotechnology. A smart, steamy thriller!  —Gregory Wolos, author of Women of Consequence and Turnpike

“Thrillers are my guilty pleasure, and The Allston Variant is the guiltiest of guilty pleasures.  Temples not only spins an excellent yarn, he can write!” —Luke Salisbury, author of The Answer Is Baseball and No Common War

Uncontacted Frontier

New Sequel in the Carrie Bloomfield Novel Series: “Uncontacted Frontier”

By Phillip Temples Leave a comment

I’ve begun writing the third book in the Carrie Bloomfield series of scientific murder-mystery novels, with the working title Uncontacted Frontier:

Scientist-turned-entrepreneur Carrie Bloomfield is caught up in adventure and intrigue when she goes on an expedition to the Amazon in Brazil to collect fauna and flora for potentially promising pharmaceuticals.

I’ll sit down face-to-face with a literary agent, pitch my manuscript and obtain feedback at the upcoming Muse & the Marketplace Writers Conference.

GrubStreet

I wanted to put in a plug for GrubStreet.  From their website:

“GrubStreet is one of the nation’s leading creative writing centers. We believe that narrative transforms lives, builds bridges, and produces empathy. By rigorously developing voices of every type and talent and by removing barriers to entry, GrubStreet fosters the creation of meaningful stories and ensures that excellent writing remains vital and relevant.”

I’ve attended a few of their free workshops in the past. I finally decided this week to become a member.
