If you liked HOW I BECAME A FAMOUS NOVELIST...


Allow me to introduce Jenna Blum's THE STORMCHASERS. Some of it might sound a little familiar, I don't know:

From Publishers Weekly: Karena Jorge gets an unexpected call informing her that her twin brother, Charles Hallingdahl, whom she hasn't seen in the 20 years since something went very wrong during a storm chase, has been admitted to a Kansas mental hospital... Karena joins a professional storm-chasing tour company, hoping to find her brother in the caravan of watchers who follow major storms. The unpredictable and dangerous storms provide a framework for an exploration of the bond between siblings (and its limitations), and Blum renders the stormy backdrop as richly as she does her nuanced characters.

TORNADO ASHES CLUB anyone?

As for Steve Hely, he wrote last week's episode of "The Office" and... that's all I got.

OH MY GOD. Let's read this together and play a drinking game where we count the middlebrow literary cliches.
