Produktbeschreibung
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. Michael Jian's new novel "Sh-Boom, The Way of the World" tells a story, forward-and-backward looking, of a man late in life who suddenly realizes Plan A is dead- on-arrival. The job market does not want a newly-minted, but not young, Ph.D., even one an accomplished entrepreneur and business executive. The hero in this story is broke, heavily in debt from student loans and without a wife or a girlfriend. His family and loved ones are a plane ride away. He relies on faith and prayer. Yet, apart from scams that continually dash hopes, the years pass, his Plan B's are ephemeral. "Sh-Boom' is not easy to describe because it is a panorama of episodes of life's ups-and-downs," Jian says. "It is a love story, for sure. Yet it is mostly a jewel of exhibiting the self-interest motive of human behavior. Tears and joy, hopes and dreams, success and failure, betrayal and instances to excite the heart. Even a surprise ending." For readers who enjoy a long tale guaranteed to bring out emotions, Sh-Boom is it. Believable characters, exotic places, the centrality of faith and one of true love.
Autorenporträt
Michael Jian was born in Los Angeles to a military family. He spent his boyhood and youth in California suffering the moves of military families to other states in various stages of growing up. His father, however, was from Georgia (Thomasville), so by the time college approached, he settled in as a Southerner.He majored in Modern Languages at The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina which, after military service, led to graduate school at the Sorbonne in Paris for MA s in Russian and International Relations and an on-and-off career in international business. It was in Paris that the flame to write was ignited. A pilot light if you wish. And decades before that could be realized.After minor successes and multiple failures in business as an entrepreneur, the fact that he had lived in four countries beside his own and known twenty-three countries, some well and some briefly, he found he had an abundance of stories to tell and heroes to write about. He earned his doctorate in Economics-Political Science from Claremont Graduate University in 2013. Michael Jian resides in Newport Beach, California.
