After thirty-plus years as a professional violinist I have finally taken the plunge into the 21st century and have created a website. In the past decade or so my career has expanded from performing and teaching to now include conducting, composition, and most recently, writing. Given the potential of the Web to get the word out, the time seemed ripe to utilize this amazing tool in pursuing my artistic goals.
I am particularly excited about my new novel, Devil's Trill, a voyage to the darker side of the classical musical world, published this summer by St. Martin's Press.
I am honored that Barnes & Noble has awarded me the Discover Great New Writers award for Fall 2009.
Take a look at my interview with Heather Simonsen, featured in the December 2009 issue of the Salt Lake Magazine. "Who knew classical music could be so Sinister? Gerald Elias' new novel is your guide to the Shadowy side of Symphony life."
See what Dick Adler, Crime Fiction Reviewer for the Chicago Tribune and Barnes&Noble.com has written on his blog about Devil's Trill.
