First Reviews and All the Links You Need!
We are seven weeks out from the publication of our first book, THINGS TO SEE IN ARIZONA, and there is much to see on our end about this exciting novel!
Reviews!
The first reviews are in, like this 5 STAR one from Anthony Aycock at IndieReader. Here’s an excerpt:
“THINGS TO SEE IN ARIZONA is a satisfying blend of travelogue, romance, mystery, and teen coming-of-age. Mary White’s descriptions are spot-on: “cotton candy sunsets,” “wispy, half-ass clouds.” Arizona, with its history of alien sightings and new age outlooks, and its landscape that seems wide open but conceals quite a lot, is an excellent backdrop for a story centered on redefinition. Finally, Tuesday and Cristian make an entertaining couple whom the reader can’t help but root for.
An artful blend of travelogue, romance, mystery, and teen coming-of-age, Mary Vensel White’s THINGS TO SEE IN ARIZONA is a well-written, imaginative and satisfying read.”
Let’s hear it for half-ass clouds! Maybe Arizona dwellers can relate!
If you’re part of Reedsy, you can check out THINGS TO SEE IN ARIZONA and review it there, where an early reviewer called it “A well-written and satisfying coming of age story that celebrates self-discovery at all points in one’s life.”
