In Three Flies Up, Washington, D.C. author and award-winning journalist Kelley Dupuis explores two themes, one universal and one uniquely American. The perennial theme of fathers and sons forms the backdrop for the story of the author’s long, usually-troubled relationship with his own father who grew up both poor and largely without a father in his own life, and as a result had no role model for being a father himself. As the author grows up in the 1960s and ‘70s, father and son are at loggerheads more than often than not.

Tower-102 is a novel set at a small radio station in the Sierra Nevada foothills
of northern California during the mid-1980s. The rest of the country is riding the
self-indulgent wave of the prosperous Reagan years, but the air staff, the disc
jockeys and newscasters of KTWR-FM, Tower-102 are struggling just to keep body, soul

a young newscaster at the station, reflects the fates of his friends and co-workers
as he, like they, engages in the struggle to move on up...or just to move on.

and some poignant, of a struggling young concert pianist who lives in Brooklyn and
his small group of similarly-dreaming friends, each of whom has his or her own
story-some more believable than others-to tell.
