Meet the Creative Team!
Dave Norman is the author, but it took more people than him to create “Hash 207!”
Developmental Editor Alan Rinzler spent a year helping Dave hone this story and tell it well. Jessi Darnell-Boynton designed the cover, and additional graphics like the “Human Popsicle Designed” badge we use to celebrate that “Hash 207” was made by creative professions…with no generative AI used. Our contributing editors and advanced readers helped focus and polish the story. Together, it took a fantastic TEAM to bring this independently published book to market.
Book Talks — in Person or Online!
Let’s create a special event, in person or on Zoom, for your customers or patrons or friends. My book talks are well-attended and lively, and kickstart discussions about our communities, our values, and our dreams.
If your bookstore, library, or reading group is within about 2 hours of Portland, Maine, I’ll give an in-person talk. Otherwise, let’s use Zoom to connect with your group for a very special online event.
A Story With Heart…and Teeth
“Hash 207” is the story of Jamie Schmidt, scion of a condiment manufacturing family, who wants more from his future than mayonnaise and living up to his father’s image. He sees less romance in maintaining someone else’s creation, than in creating a life of his own.
It’s the story of a city at a tipping point, victim of its own success when more people move in for the bohemian culture than can afford to remain and contribute to the place they created.
It’s the story of the Hash House Harriers, a drinking club with a running problem, who don’t take the loss of their favorite tavern lightly…
…and a story of love in a time of conflict.
Themes & Synopsis
“Hash 207” pits the creative and working class of a city against the developers displacing them to build luxury condos, and against the politicians who enable them. Explore several of the book’s themes, and a short synopsis, here —///–>
