A Hole in the Ground Owned by a Liar (Counterpoint)

Novelist Daniel Pyne (Twentynine Palms) launches his new novel, A Hole in the Ground Owned by a Liar, here at Skylight. "Daniel Pyne's A Hole in the Ground Owned By a Liar will put to rest any idle fantasies the reader may have of setting out prospecting for gold. A harrowingly funny story of brotherly strife, amorous misconduct, and small dreams blown disastrously out of proportion. I loved it." --Scott Phillips, author of The Adjustment and national bestseller The Ice Harvest "Smart, sexy, funny, and a brilliant storyteller. And that's just me. Wait till you read Dan . . . " --Eric Idle Throughout his career, Daniel Pyne has moved freely between the world of television, film and books. His writing credits include The Manchurian Candidate, Fracture, Any Given Sunday, and Miami Vice. He is also author of the noir novel, Twentynine Palms (which was also made into a feature film). Pyne has a BA in Economics from Stanford University, and an MFA from UCLA’s film school, where he teaches a graduate seminar in screenwriting every winter. He lives in Los Angeles and Santa Fe, New Mexico, with his wife and children, two cats, two dogs, two lizards, and a turtle. For more info on Daniel Pyne, visit www.danielpyne.com.
