New Book Cover Reveal: January 30

My first novel, The Shaman of Turtle Valley, will be published by Braddock Avenue Books on May 14, 2019.  And on January 30, the publisher will reveal the book’s amazing cover along with details for how you can pre-order a copy of the book.

I’ll tell you all about the book when the cover is revealed, but in the meantime, a sampling of some early praise:

“With his first novel, The Shaman of Turtle Valley, Clifford Garstang has created a melding of two worlds he knows intimately, and he has done so with the outright surety of a master. ”
~Richard Wiley, author of Soldiers In Hiding, winner of the Pen/Faulkner Award for Best American Fiction

“This is a story about the many kinds of love—beautifully written, unerringly told.” ~Kate Christensen, PEN/Faulkner-award winning author of The Great Man and The Last Cruise

“Garstang’s novel reads like a modern-day version of the Odyssey with a delicious twist: on his return to Ithaca, this Odysseus brings Circe with him.” ~David Payne, author of Barefoot to Avalon

Please come back on January 30 to see the cover and learn how you can pre-order!
