Turn Again --- and a Kindle Fire!

An Alaskan "Must Read" Novel

All the excitement of the Washington Post review nearly had me forgetting that I was running the hottest book giveaway ever! Now we only have two weeks left, so I'd better get to sharing with you some of the cool possibilities!

Today I want to highlight my buddy Kris Farmen's novel Turn Again. This is an incredible Alaskan novel, and the first novel I had the honor to provide a blurb for:

“Kris Farmen’s Turn Again is a spellbinding masterpiece. A powerful epic with unforgettable characters, rich Alaskan history and culture, and an authentic glimpse at a time when humanity was forsaken in the name of progress. Farmen has crafted a haunting tale of mythical transformation and lost love. There is much to be learned from this modern parable.”
            —Don Rearden, author of the critically acclaimed novel, The Raven’s Gift
  
And while I might be a creative writer and story teller, the above is simply fact. Farmen writes one hell of a story, and an important one at that. He's such a gifted writer that I often wonder how much fiction he put into his own blurb for my novel, which has found its way in the new Canadian Pintail edition of The Raven's Gift:


"Don Rearden is a masterful storyteller, and an artist of extraordinary talent and vision. Like all great books, The Raven’s Gift transcends geography and culture; it provides a window into what it means to be human in an age when humanity is all too often pushed aside and those who live at the margins forsaken in the name of political expedience."
–Kris Farmen, author of Turn Again and The Devil's Share

What is definitely not in question is that Kris Farmen can flat out write a great story. You'll have the chance to agree with me if you win the Kindle Fire in my giveaway and choose to have Kris's book as one of the books the Kindle will come with!
