Circa is a dark comedy featuring Henry Colmes, a high school sophomore trying to find his place in school and life. In alternating chapters, it is also the story of Henry as a thirty-something cub reporter trying to track down an elusive cult leader in order to interview him for the man's own obituary. Alluding to the timelessness of tragedy, Circa offers an examination of our collective desperation for meaningful context in which to place and rationalize the actions we take. At once heartfelt, tragic, and surreal, Circa, the debut novel from author Adam Greenfield, looks at the pivotal moments in a person's life that lead them to make the decisions they can never take back and, ultimately, never forget.

Adam Greenfield was born and grew up in Los Angeles, which he sees as a blessing and a curse. The ocean has paralyzed him emotionally in many ways. In his waking life he works for a national social impact communications firm. He is married and has two daughters who like to bake and watch old movies with him. His kids are 16 and 13 and he recently read that as a parent about 80% of all the time you're ever going to spend with your children is before they're 12. He feels that that's a lot to reckon with. Mountain Lion Blues is his second novel.
