  Two timelines blend together in novel written as sequel to another writer’s 1941 tale

  “The best thing about writing is the process itself,” says author Lee Gowan about his fourth novel, The Beautiful Place. It’s a contemporary story about a man who loses his job, wife, and home, and then tries to rescue his grandfather’s frozen body from a high-security cryonics facility – the titular Beautiful Place, named after the place where ancient Egyptian pharaohs were prepared for the afterlife.
