Agent Of Orange

One day in 2012 I was thinking of the line from Apocalypse Now "I love the smell of napalm in the morning." I love words and the impulse to play they invite and I began to noodle with the legendary phrase. I came up with "I love the smell of swaying palms in the morning." The location of my book fell into place. The idea of Lizzy and the SLA--a left-wing group whose exploits still echoes from radios from my youth--showing up on this marine's steps made for an intriguing recipe. Chauncy sought solace after the war, gradually assimilating into civilian life. As such, he chooses a retirement community, a real place where my grandparents lived and I visited in the early '70s--a pivotal time in America, if not this book. Lizzy knows she's a hunted fugitive and seeks anonymity as well. Agent of Orange has nothing to do with the injurious chemical used in Vietnam. Chauncy McClarren is a gentleman. He diplomatically arranges things in his life, from boarding a plane to Vietnam rather than Canada to honoring his friendship with Harrold Coffman, his former Sergeant and constant drain on his life. 9781490725307 149072530X 387 Fiction NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=fHXxAgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&edge=curl&source=gbs_api en
