Over the next few weeks I’ll be posting about some of the locations featured in my new novel, Motel. Pool. Today is the third stop: the Hoover Dam. Hoover Dam was built in the early 1930s. Take a look at this photo for a moment as you let that sink in. The dam …
Over the next few weeks I’ll be posting about some of the locations featured in my new novel, Motel. Pool. Today is the second stop: the Grand Canyon.

The most famous golem, I think, was the one created by Rabbi Loew of Prague to protect the Jewish community from attacks. According to …
