Marvin Spangler is a self-centered, ill-equipped teacher of high school history, tasked by his principal to form an auctioneering team that has a chance in hell of winning a Tennessee state championship.
It comes as a welcome diversion from his tepid life as an unfulfilled husband to his icy pediatrician wife Lydia, and barely-there father to a unique set of children.
He assembles a team comprising three very different souls: Larry Jr., the damaged prodigy, is led by fate, Eric, the obsessed jock, by unrequited love, and Helen, the usually disinterested beauty, by an inexplicable fascination.
Together they surrender to a journey that carries them to the cusp of the summit of their dreams... and the nightmares awaiting far down below.
Chapter 1
A vagabond child dragged back and forth across these United States, I"ve experienced much of what there is over the horizon line. Born in Tennessee, high school in Alaska on to graduating from the University of Oregon with a degree in advertising. I have been an avid reader and watcher of film my entire life and began writing screenplays two decades ago hoping to see my work on the big screen. A few years ago I accepted the challenge to write a novel and the southern gothic Chameleon sprung forth. A truck driver epic The Alternator followed close behind. The muses currently guide my dutiful hand as I write my fourth. I live on the edge of Oak Ridge, TN enjoying hiking, fishing and listening to vinyl.
