Awesome!! Congratulations!
Bravo, Shawn! Here’s hoping for even better news March 12. Your novel haunts me–can’t stop feeling the desert, the dessication, and Nexus’ exhaustion. I need to read it again, however, before I attempt an intelligent discussion because my response was so visceral.
I think I may need to read it again myself, Karen! However, one of these days the audiobook will be finished, and maybe we can all save ourselves some trouble.
I’m your 2nd cousin, unfortunately we’ve never met. I’ve been told that you excel in almost everything. Congratulations.
Hi Dani:
Couldn’t have been my Dad who told you that! Seriously, though, I’ve moved around so much for work I hardly see anyone in my extended family–must be 10 years since I’ve been to Suzanne’s.
Good to hear from you. I’d suggest taking a good look at the sample chapters before ordering–the book is not for everyone (it’s written in an older style.)
If you’re still game after that, I can provide you with a signed paper copy–if the e-book is not what you want. Or, if it is, I can shoot you the file directly for free. My e-mail is sstjean@gmx.com.
Best,
Shawn
