ABOUT "FROSTED GLASS":

A painful break-up/break-down chases high-tech marketing wiz Sandy Lowiltry from her Silicon Valley home. She comes to rest on the Oregon Coast, where she seeks solace in the opera-themed sanctuary of the Hotel Bel Canto and the arms of a handsome eccentric who spends his days combing the beach for sea glass.

Sandy soon learns what the tourist ladies already know – it's easy to fall for Frosted Glass Man. Besides great sex and alarmingly intricate campsite cuisine, Frosty offers do-it-yourself mythologies that would melt even the coldest heart. But will it be enough to quiet the whisper of ambition, the voice inside Sandy’s head that chides her for settling? Will she really leave behind Silicon Valley for love in such a strange package?

PRAISE FOR "FROSTED GLASS":

“Beneath the surface of Michael Vaughn's wry humor lies an extraordinary myth, and a most unlikely tale of discovery and passion. Set against the backdrop of the Oregon seashore, Vaughn leads us from opera to ocean in a curious and engaging journey. A magical stranger and a coastline filled with promises fuse beautifully to make FROSTED GLASS a shimmering fable, as delicate and whimsical as a handful of glass.”

– Debra Bokur, Many Mountains Moving literary journal

“A breezy, richly-textured romp through the inner circuitry of a postmodern heroine. Tales of the City meets Comedy of Errors.”

– Christina Waters, PhD, Metro Newspapers (San Jose)
