About the Book

Iconoclastic inventor, Al Sharpe, loves his canyon home in Southern California's Saint Angel Valley. He builds his teenage daughter a tree house in a giant oak and invents the Sharpe Smoke Scrubber to detoxify wood smoke. When wealthy developer Ches Noonan, a fellow member of the Desert Green Lawn Association, sets out to fill the valley with houses and appropriate its precious water supply to fill swimming pools during California's worst drought, Al and his quixotic pals rebel. In the Realty Revenge, they halt development through madcap high jinks and the help of local Indians, ancient demon Tahquitz, and mother nature. Welcome to Saint Angel is a dead-serious comedy about development gone mad and townsfolk's attempts to protect their rural Arcadia from bulldozers and climate change deniers. Part environmental fiction, part social satire, it speaks to exurban sprawl and the heedless development of fragile natural areas and to the power of communal resistance in the face of calamity."A painful, redemptive belly laugh and well worth it." -Doug Peacock, Grizzly Years: In Search of the American Wilderness"Every time we allow ourselves to settle back into the deep currents of William Luvaas' Welcome to Saint Angel, imagining we see what he's doing and where he's going, we find ourselves in new waters, trying to master different strokes. And what an amazing ride this accomplished writer takes us on-through heartache and mystery, laughter and sweet vengeance. Beyond everything, he makes us truly welcome, welcome inside an endangered environment that asks from us what so many here in Saint Angel have to offer. Without ever hectoring us, Luvaas reforms our thoughts and our capacities to fit a world both harder and more loving than we had previously ever supposed. It is a word badly overused, but this novel really is the product of a true brilliance." -Jim Kincaid, Professor Emeritus, University of Southern CaliforniaWilliam Luvaas has published three novels, The Seductions of Natalie Bach, Going Under, and Beneath The Coyote Hills, and two story collections, A Working Man's Apocrypha and Ashes Rain Down: A Story Cycle, The Huffington Post's 2013 Book of the Year and a finalist for the Next Generation Indie Book Awards. His honors include a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, first place in Glimmer Train's Fiction Open Contest, The Ledge Magazine's Fiction Contest, and Fiction Network's 2nd National Fiction Competition. His work has appeared in dozens of publications, including Antioch Review, The American Fiction Anthology, Glimmer Train, Grain Mag., North American Review, The Sun, Texas Review, The Village Voice and The Washington Post Book World. He has taught writing at San Diego State University, U.C. Riverside, and The Writers Voice in New York, and is Online Fiction Editor for Cutthroat: A Journal of the Arts. Luvaas lives in Los Angeles with his wife Lucinda, an artist and film maker. Website: www.williamluvaas.com.
