Mud Season

by Jeff Kramer

Mud Season tells the story of Woody Hackworth, a newspaper reporter laid off amid whispers that he made up a source. Resentful, bored, and looking for a way to get back at his ex-employer, Woody makes a fateful decision: To write an environmental thriller and post chapters online as he goes. His novel-in-progress gains traction in the gossipy, snow belt city of Icarus, N.Y. but not for reasons Woody wanted. His readers believe Woody is using his fiction to expose his in-laws and their successful family-owned construction business. With each new post, Woody’s domestic discord grows, but how can he stop now? He’s almost famous? Mud Season merrily wallows in the classic conflict between ambition and family, digs into the murky perils of online notoriety, and slings a comic-tragic elegy to the once-mighty institution of the daily newspaper.
