Tiger Hunting by Tracy Million Simmons is an incredible story written by a masterful author. The novel grabbed me from its first sentence about a dolphin lying on the side of a highway and wouldn’t release me until the last page.
ReplyDeleteSimmons has a literary gift, writing with a strong and clear voice. Her well-developed characters, including a menagerie of animals, somehow fit into a supposedly laid-back Dodge City.
Despite a solid ending, I’d love to catch up with everyone in a sequel. “What,” I ask, “are they doing today?”
--Jim Potter, author of Taking Back the Bullet: Trajectories of Self-Discovery
And, I Cried, Too, by Mike Hartnett is an exceptionally well-written book. Unfortunately, it's not fiction.
ReplyDelete--Jim Potter, author of Taking Back the Bullet: Trajectories of Self-Discovery
I'm trying my best to be patient, waiting for Julie Stielstra's book, Opulence, Kansas, to be published.
ReplyDeleteIn Opulence, Kansas, Katie Myrdal’s 15 years old with her life in different worlds. She’s living on the 19th floor of a downtown Chicago apartment building with distant parents, then visits a caring aunt and uncle on the Kansas prairie. Life’s confusing. Katie’s lonely in the city, then surprised about her feelings for a boy with his own nightmares. Overwhelmed with life, Katie learns to cope a day at a time. Author Stielstra creates a vivid picture of Kansas with colorful characters so real you want to invite them home and cook them omelettes.—Jim Potter—author of Taking Back the Bullet: Trajectories of Self-Discovery
