“Life Between Seconds” by Douglas Weissman Now Available from Histria Books

 Histria Books is pleased to announce the release of Life Between Seconds by Douglas Weissman. The book is published by Addison & Highsmith Publishers, an imprint of Histria Books dedicated to outstanding original works of fiction.

For fans of Karen Russell’s Swamplandia! comes a new tale of found family and magic. After his mother dies, Peter Berry collects memories in broken watches the way others collect photographs. Peter takes his box filled with broken watches and flees his childhood home to a battered apartment complex in San Francisco — his mother’s favorite city — in an attempt to bury the box with the dark truths of her haunting memory before she returns to take him too.

The night Sofia Morales’s daughter disappears, Sofia begins to hear her daughter’s voice. Her world crumbles — her marriage crumbles. After demanding her husband leave, Sofia runs from Buenos Aires, Argentina to San Francisco — a city she always wanted to visit — renting an apartment in a beat-up complex at the edge of North Beach.

Peter and Sophia become close friends in the confined space of the city, finding companionship in the shadow of their unspoken nightmares. When Sofia receives a letter from her estranged husband, and Peter proves unable to bury his box of watches, the ghosts of their pasts once more threaten the lives they have created, now tearing at the fabric of their friendship with the tormented memories they keep, whether real or imagined.

Unfolding over three decades, Life Between Seconds sets Peter and Sophia on a collision course with their respective pasts propelling them toward either redemption or damnation. Engrossing, heartbreaking, and surreal, Douglas Weissman’s first adult novel is a meditation on trauma, family, and how to heal after a great loss.

Douglas Weissman is an author and travel writer who has spent time exploring diverse corners of the world. He is the husband of a museum educator, father of a delightful girl, and lives in Los Angeles. He has an MFA in creative writing from the University of San Francisco and spent time in Buenos Aires.

A Firm Handshake Between Friends: Gaines and Verbica Endorse Each Other’s Campaigns

 Ted Gaines, Board of Equalization (“BOE”), District 1, and Peter Coe Verbica, CAGOP State Delegate and candidate for the Board of Equalization, District 2, exchange endorsements for each other’s campaigns. Gaines describes it as “a firm handshake between friends.”

“Ted is a proven leader who’s consistently taken a stand against wasteful spending, high taxes and burdensome regulations,” says Verbica. “And, we’re both fifth generation California natives. We care about our state and believe in its future.”

Gaines is optimistic about having Verbica join the BOE Board: “Pete’s a fiscal conservative and we need that kind of approach to counter Sacramento politicians’ tax-and-spend attitude. And, with no incumbent running for the office, now is a great time for Pete to be elected.”

“Anyone who’s had a conversation with Ted knows that he’s principled and a man with unerring convictions,” says Verbica. “He puts the people of California first and I’m looking forward to the opportunity of serving with him.”
