Coming in October
Coming around October 10, look for REVERSE ANGLE by Cathy Richard Dodson. This woman's fiction/romance novel tells the story of a woman suffering a mid-life crisis--as she helps transport her mother-in-law's long-dead body across the country. Mixing dark humor with powerful emotion, Emma learns about herself, sees her past through a different lens, and tries to film a documentary of the disfunctional family involved in the body-move. It'll be available for only $1 for the first month, so check back often.
