Log line for my new novel, Hippies (about 1/3 finished and slow going):
Struggling with the contradictions of the 1960s counterculture, a coterie of hippies discovers an LSD-spinoff drug that triggers past life regressions and leads to a dramatic climax.
Unlike Mr. Robert’s Bones, which was equally suited to young adult or adult audiences, this one is more for adult readers. (E.g., high school teachers and parents of teens might be troubled that I show no particular interest in condemning the behaviors that make up the furniture of the late 60s scene: the ample use of hallucinogenics and other drugs, the disregard of traditional sexual norms, the anti-war thread that can quickly morph into an anti-government thread, etc.)
Sounds like a good read to me ! So will it be an autobiography/novel ?

Hahaha. Well, autobiographical elements are woven into the fictional base.

Condemn them or not, they are our history. A book that explains it–puts readers where they understand what fueled those passions–is valuable.
