Stellar review

Newbury Port News just gave Taft 2012 a rousing, lengthy review. Mentioned in the same breath as Vonnegut and Twain, be still my unworthy heart!

Blog battle! New interview!

Couple items of note:

-Over at Fantastic Reviews, their have a battle of the books, and my novel Taft 2012 has pass the first round! Fingers crossed at it (hopefully) advances in this epic tournament. If not, well, I'm still happy it's even a contender!

-A new interview with me is up at the Odyssey Writing Workshop blog. I'm a proud graduate of Odyssey (class of '09!), and it was an honor to speak to them about writing 'n' stuff.
