Hey book reviewers! Got a burning question but were too shy, embarrassed etc. to ask? Like what if you had a crap experience reading a book you’ve promised to review? Something else?
Let me know and I might use it in a promo video to celebrate the one-year anniversary for my guide book.
TIA!

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by my friend @rickhipson.bsky.social for his podcast called What Screams May Come. We talked about my book Katrina: After 20, and at the end I read from one of the earlier chapters during the storm.
My pal, @deanitaliano.bsky.social bravely shares his story of being trapped in a storm that took much from many, surviving the aftermath. Our chat Includes Dean reading a chapter from Katrina: After 20 in which a stranger's last words can still be heard 20 years after.
