"Reagan, Hitler, and Jane Austen walk into a bar."

Max didn’t have much—but he had prose. He wrote a story, slipped it into Anya’s gym bag, and got the first date. Anya thought she chose him.

Nine years later, Anya is a successful doctor, while Max struggles on subsistence pay as a university adjunct. To prove his worth, Max’s stories resurrect Vera, a childhood friend and the source of his guilt, a woman too perfect to be anything but fiction. But as Max’s writing plunges into a surreal landscape of extrasensory healers, mafia pals, and friendly mice, the boundary between his words and Anya’s reality begins to blur.

The Extrasense is a darkly ironic novel about writing as manipulation—and the risk of playing God when you don't know your own limits.
