Wake of Vultures

Last year I was asked to read an ARC of a book called WAKE OF VULTURES by Lila Bowen. It was the best thing I read in 2014.

It’s out today. I’m going to buy it and read it again because I want a finished copy to keep forever, and it will most likely be the best thing I read in 2015 as well.

I wrote a blurb for it: “I don’t care what else you’ve seen in the bookstore today. Buy this book because it’s the thrilling, delightfully written, and important one you’ve always wanted to read.” —Me

Here’s the thing: I’d really, really like for you to buy it this week (or request it at your library) for THREE SUPER DUPER GOOD REASONS: 1) You’re gonna like it and I want you to be happy 2) The world needs more books like it and we only get them if we show publishers there is a demand for books like this 3) I specifically want more stories about Nettie Lonesome and that will only happen if people buy WAKE OF VULTURES and go “Holy buttered balls, Batman, that was awesome!” and tell their friends about it and so on. I have provided spiffy links here to let you snag it online, though of course your indie bookstore would love to see you as well:
Amazon • B&N • iTunes

Please to read and enjoy and then let’s talk about it together because yes it is fun and has monsters and stuff, but there are juicy important things in there too.
