I got this recently from Lee Underwood. Thought I'd post here just in case you know.
Dear Friends and Acquaintances,
After five wonderfully creative years, I am happy to announce that I have completed my novel, Diamondfire: The Journey. It is now time to begin the search for a literary agent. If you know of any agents who might be interested in helping me place the book with a publisher, please let me know, won't you?
In a nutshell, Diamondfire follows Jarrett through his exciting adventures and misadventures on the journey from confusion to clarity. As he travels throughout the United States, finally settling in California, then New Mexico, he encounters dozens of people who help him understand himself and the nature of the world around him. But his most significant guide is music itself, the inner song that leads him ever onward to greater and greater heights of insight, love, and compassion. The journey begins in Jarrett's youth; covers some six decades of psycho-spiritual evolutionary development; follows him as he flowers into a man of wisdom giving public discourses and solo piano concerts at colleges and universities; and ends during the tumultuous period immediately preceding George W. Bush's attack of Iraq.
Diamondfire is liberally sprinkled with insights from luminaries such as Ken Wilber, Krishnamurti, Osho, Sri Chinmoy, Lao Tzu, Ram Dass, Jung, Einstein, and many others. It includes interviews based on actual talks the author had with guitarist John McLaughlin (Mahashakti), Tibetan bell player Henry Wolff (Nomad), and soprano saxophonist Paul Winter (Sun Singer). It offers revelatory explorations of literature and music on many psychological levels, from cathartic rage, to intellectual brilliance, to the heights of meditative bliss-consciousness.
"Embroiled in samsara's tumult, you may have forgotten your eternal Self," Jarrett says at one point. "Turn inward. Watch. Listen. And know you are infinitely more than your name. You are a bedazzling spark from the Divine Conflagration. You are living Diamondfire."
Thank you, my friends, for any help you can send my way regarding an agent. If you would, perhaps let some of your own email friends know about the book. They might be able to help in the search. You already have my email address. Here is my web site address as well (for Bio info and other writings) - http://www.leeunderwood.net
