What the critics are saying about A Kind of Self:
“absorbing … an engrossing story” (Kirkus Reviews)“The combination of glamour and insight, the access to understanding the ‘why’ of human nature is captivating and enriching.” (Petrα Ε. lἉrmoniaon) 
A Kind of Self tells the story of the glamorous cosmopolis and what glittering appearances conceal. The truth about love and lust, career and ambition – the frenzied life in New York and its never-ending surprises.
Cleo is a worldly and sophisticated art advisor who has drawn the clumsy attentions of a rich, but childish hedge fund manager. Pascale, a journalist by vocation and a beautiful woman of tender sensibility, is pursued by a wily, wicked seducer and betrayed by a friend. Verdoyer, a cultured art collector, has conquered the glitzy world of gallery openings and vernissages, only to walk away from it all, wearied and disillusioned. Peels, an archaeologist, goes his own way, making sense of ancient puzzles and seeking clues to contemporary life.
All is revealed at the Miami Art Fair – where paths cross in serendipity, where fate’s inescapable reality makes itself known.
A Kind of Self is published by Glaux Press and is out Summer 2024.
