A stunning and far-reaching space thriller. The peripheral storylines and supporting characters, both good and bad, carry the plot along wonderfully, while the astronomically ambitious plan to save the planet makes perfect fodder for sci-fi futurist fans. The writing is precise, yet flexible, giving every scene an important sense of authenticity. Williams has delivered a unique and unpredictable titan of a novel, a bold launchpad for his Fall of Gods series.

An entrancing slice of early, and eerie, Americana. As is the case in great American literature, the landscape itself is a character, encouraging readers to find a deep chair and escape the sultry Georgia heat, shaded by ancient boughs richly depicted on every page. Couching inventive fiction within such a visceral frame of nature makes this book a deeply immersive read. That is perhaps the most notable thing about the writing: it is elegant and enveloping, capturing colloquial charm and syrupy drawls with ease. The Winter Sisters is quite simply a pleasure to read; the characters are engaging and unique, the descriptions are intoxicating, and wisdom hangs heavy in each chapter.

Minchow-Proffitt stands out with a distinctly different voice. These poems will satisfy the discerning palette, but also have enough edge, roughness and righteousness for new readers of the medium. Like the labyrinthine nature of America, the collection is both hard-hitting and open-armed, alternating between heaviness and subtlety, sometimes within the same line.

Flipping the script on the classic tale of Pygmalion, author D.L. Yoder presents a quirky and unpredictable novel. Tackling issues of parental control, societal expectations, and the half-blind nature of love, the book is an intriguing dive into family psychology and has plenty of squirm-worthy moments to which younger readers will relate. Ramona’s Man has a fun classic premise that drives the novel along, and it brings up a number of compelling issues about family and intolerance, for a timely work of contemporary fiction.

A surprisingly complex and powerful novel that blends the bizarre with the brutally honest.

The window for marketing is pretty small. Certainly, you should never give up on a book once it’s had its major marketing push, but Amazon only gives a 3-month window to end up in the Hot New Releases section, or to benefit from other ranking factors that fade over time the older a book gets. So it can make sense to put all your eggs in one basket and try to make a giant push all at once.

Chasing a Flawed Sun is in turns beautiful and brutal. The book is profoundly insightful for someone who has felt the sting of addiction. It is a difficult subject to write about, but McGhee has done a great service in writing this book. Not only has Daniel McGhee survived hell and lived to tell the tale, but his words are an inspiration and can act as a guide for people still traversing that dark path, in a memoir that is at once merciless and uplifting.
