The Kirkus Review is in for my book. The consensus is...

While I was out wandering the mountains of Georgia, someone was typing up and submitting their review of Not Waving, Drowning for the inimitable Kirkus Review. I am pleased to report, I do NOT suck. I did not star, but neither did I crash and burn. For those of you that have purchased and read Not Waving, Drowning.
