“A new novel by Lee Olds! Still writing and getting ever better.” Ann Abrams

“Lee Olds is a thinking person’s writer. Here is a writer to watch.” San Francisco Examiner
A tale of a man’s obsession and a woman’s indifference
An aged author who has fallen from popularity tries to enlist the help of Clara, a local community computer skills trainer, to get his latest novel published. He becomes obsessed with her, and with her as his muse sets down to pen his best novel yet. Only Clara does not accept the role he has established for her, and the separation that ensues leads to tragic consequences.
This edition of CLARA includes the captivating short story AUTOMANIA by the same author.
Lee Olds is also the author of the coming of age classic Too Much Sun, the dark novella The Bilge, and the gripping novel The Return. All of which are also published by Not So Noble Books.
