The Wild Inside (2015)
(Glacier Mystery, book 1)
Christine Carbo
"The brutality and fragility of Glacier National Park's wilderness provides the perfect backdrop for this well-crafted, absorbing novel about the barbarities and kindnesses of the humans living on its edge. Christine Carbo is a writer to watch."
Where All Light Tends to Go (2015)
David Joy
"Compelling and authentic . . . a harsh tale of young love's tender hopes set against the brutal realities of ruined Appalachia. Jacob McNeely's story is one worth reading."
