The New Valley Book

As with all the best short fiction, the three novellas that constitute The New Valley carry a weight disproportionate to their length. These stories give a voice to the lonely and disconnected that would otherwise remain mute among the force of change that moves the people and environment around them. In reading it, I more than once caught myself exhaling a long-held breath after a moment of tension or sadness had completely removed me from my immediate surroundings and into the hollow, ramshackle world of Osby, Stillman, and Geoffrey. This is a great book that at once leaves you satisfied and craving more from a very promising author.
