Review up at Chapter 16

Chapter 16 is a great online journal focusing on Tennessee writers and writers from the South. It publishes reviews and interviews. I'm thankful to them reviewing INTO THIS WORLD earlier this week:

Into This World Book Launch

Today is the big day! My latest novel Into This World is available! I'm of course super excited and proud of this book. Early buzz is that it's a "page turner," and I couldn't be more pleased. So much thanks to editor and publisher Victoria Barrett for making it all happen. She is the best! The book is available in just about all formats just about everywhere, but please support independent presses and order from the publisher Engine Books or IndieBound.

Giveaway on Goodreads--only a few days left!

Glorified Love Letters Into This World Review

Lovely review out at Glorified Love Letters. Here's my favorite quote:

"If we had to winnow down our criteria for what makes a good book, I bet that would be at the top of the list: 3am reading."
