Success is really getting in the way of Urban Waite’s life plan.

After his debut novel, “The Terror of Living,” was published in February, Waite planned on returning to working odd jobs, scraping together enough time to write a handful of books and earn himself a position at a university.

That was before Stephen King praised “The Terror of Living” as “a hell of a good novel” and “an auspicious debut,” and author Tom Franklin compared it favorably to Cormac McCarthy’s classic “No Country for Old Men.”
