June Bugs in July

Junebugs are plentiful in West Virginia, but usually not in July. I'm trying to change that. We are picking up copies today of my new novel and they will be ready for shipment. If you would like a signed copy of June Bug, click here.

I just read a review by Richard Beattie that sums up the story I've worked on for the past year. Richard nailed both the thrust of the story and the parallels with what has happened to our family over the past few months. It's really scary now that I think about it. Beautifully scary.

Here's a section Richard quotes from the book: "My dad says there's a lot of things people don't need and that their houses get cluttered with it and they store it in basements that flood and get ruined so it's better to live simple and do what you want rather than get tied down to a mortgage." I'd forgotten I wrote that. I wrote that in June of 2008. We left our house in October of that year. It's frightening when you start living your fiction, but that's our life right now.
