Just how well can you ever truly know somebody? Casper Gray is a self-effacing thirty-year-old living a comfortable life in the idyll of middle-class suburbia. He and his beautiful wife, Jane, have been married for seven years, and are trying to have a baby. They own a cute little dog, Wallace. Casper's respected in his job as a high school English teacher. And he's liked in the neighborhood - well, mostly. But one simple discovery threatens to unravel it all. In a week where everything begins to fray, Casper must finally take ownership of his life, reconcile the present, and find a way forward. Full of wit, pathos, and drama, Just Another Week in Suburbia explores how the littlest things in everyday life can trigger the most tumultuous journeys of panic, self-examination, and chaos.
Autorenporträt
Les Zig is a novelist, screenwriter, and speaker.He has six published novels: Just Another Week in Suburbia (ECG Press 2025, although it was originally published by Pantera Press in 2017), explores the questions of trust, fidelity, and how well you can ever truly know another person; Any More Complicated Than That (ECG Press 2024) is a sexy but humorous polarization of the love triangle trope; Prudence (ECG Press 2023) delves into questions of fidelity, temptation, and our darkest desires and poses the question, who do you become when you face the worst part of yourself?; and August Falling (Pantera Press 2018) is a story about unconditional acceptance, reclaiming the past, and finding a way forward.As "Lazaros Zigomanis" (the name under which he was baptized), his YA novel, This, (MidnightSun Publishing 2023), tells the story of a 15-year-old dealing with burgeoning neurosis as he navigates social pressures, high school obligations, and his overbearing Greek parents. Kevin Brophy called it "engrossing, authentic and important fiction". Song of the Curlew (Pinion Press 2019) is about dreams, coming of age, community, love, and racism. It has been described by best-selling Young Adult author George Ivanoff as "an extraordinary book".Les has also written and directed short content: the short film, The Here Now (2023), about a woman who can't escape her grief; The Other Side of Paradise (2022), about a man trapped in his own vengeance; The Abnorms (2020), which was shot entirely in lockdown, and plays with idea of an interdimensional invasion from demonic entities; and the concept trailer for Little Diva Rising (2019).He's currently working on a horror feature, Heritage, in conjunction with Glamm Productions.He's had four screenplays optioned, and a raft of unproduced screenplays place as finalists in over one hundred international competitions. His stories and articles have also been published extensively.A lifetime writer, Les has a love of storytelling, and has always wanted to tell stories.
