Happy Book(s) Birthday!

This month, I’m celebrating three birthdays! You could join me in this celebration by buying one or all of the books from the publishers (links below), your local independent bookstore, or your preferred online booksellers.

My most recent book, Oliver’s Travels, was published by Regal House Publishing on May 18, 2021. Happy First Birthday to Oliver’s Travels!

My latest collection of short fiction, House of the Ancients and Other Stories, was published by Press 53 on May 3, 2020.

My debut novel, The Shaman of Turtle Valley, was published by Braddock Avenue Books on May 14, 2019.  

(I wouldn’t want to leave my other books out, however: my first story collection, In an Uncharted Country, was published by Press 53 in October 2009, and they also published my award-winning novel in stories, What the Zhang Boys Know, in October 2012.)

In addition to the publishers, you can also ask your local bookstore to order the books, or you can shop online at Bookshop.org, Amazon.com, or Barnes & Noble.

If you’ve already read these books, you could do them a birthday favor by leaving a short review on Goodreads and/or Amazon.com. It truly does help them find other readers!

Thank you.
