Such fun. I laughed out loud all the way through, and I was rooting for Delilah and Thayden the whole time. Great read. | |

I preferred this book greatly to The Witch Elm, although I still miss the Dublin Murder Squad. Here, though, I love the sense of people, of how Cal comes to understand himself and the younger women in his life. And I love the exploration of what clos ...more |

“For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet or excite you. Books help us understand who we are and how we are to behave. They show us what community and friendship mean; they show us how to live and die.”

I still feel bad that you received and inadequate copy of GoneAway into the Land. I have a brand new publisher who, fortunately for me, has embraced my work and taken my book and my future work on. As a result, it is now in hardback, edited to be a bit shorter with a slight reorganization in the beginning. Also the book has been properly proofed.
My reason for writing is to offer you a free copy of the hardback version which I will sign and send to you.
If, after looking over the new edition, you can reassess your review could you post it on Amazon and B&N.
Keep in mind, I am not by any means trying to skirt criticism, but I do think you deserve a product that is up to my standards and hopefully yours as well. Within that same context I think I deserve to be judged on a product that is of the highest standards. I could never get that with my old publisher.
If you won the book in a contest then I have your address. Just write back and let me know if you would like the new copy. My offer is at no expense to you. In my mind it is just the right thing to do.
Hope to hear from you,
Jeffrey B. Allen
