David Schickler

David Schickler is a graduate of the Columbia M.F.A. programme. He lives in New York. His stories have appeared in the New York, Tin House and Zoetrope, and his first collection, KISSING IN MANHATTAN, was a critical and commercial success.

Henry is a hood-with-a-heart who refuses to kill. Grace's life is ruled by sex and Jesus. When Henry steals the Planets, seven priceless diamonds belonging to Honey Probinkis, his ruthless blueberry-eating boss, and goes on the run, Grace decides on a whim to join him.

It will be only a matter of time before Honey catches up with the fugitive lovers; but will they still have the Planets? And can they save themselves?
