Not really a question. Just want to say, Thank You. I just finished reading "Into the Savage Country" for Amazon Vine, and while doing a little background study on you for the review, found this site. I started to read your book and couldn't put it down. Was even late for work yesterday by three hours. Can't wait to read the next one. What are you working on now?
Shannon Burke
Well, thanks for the kind words. That's great that it caught your interest like that. The next book will probably be a coming of age novel that takes place in suburban Chicago, more or less based on my childhood. It will be gritty and raw and probably with some dark humor where the kids are reveling in their abject circumstances. Thanks for writing.

I am halfway through your Western and am finding your writing to be far better than reviewed. In selecting your book, I followed my own all-too-bad advice: Choose a great cover. I teach Creative Writing to high school juniors and seniors. What advice do you have for them on building a more open and expansive setting while still maintaining a genuine and believable time and place? Thank you. -Justin
