I do not ever see a lot about these books but they are both so good. Strange Sally Diamond being both my favorite book and also one of the best books I've ever read. Both of these books are both really dark and messed up, very violently graphic but I loved them and I can't believe they aren't as popular as some of these shit books that everyone hypes up.





I read this in 2022 and remember it was excellent.
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I just read The Wedding People, which was great and voted #1 book for Goodreads Fiction, but didn’t connect that it was the same author. This book was darker and deeper, but also a really good read.
Many excellent books don’t get the recognition they deserve. It is hard to get a book published and then promoted. So, always look for new authors and ones that may be undervalued. Often, I find the best books that way.

I just looked up Strange Sally Diamond and it does sound good. It seems maybe overseas (I live in US) was popular. Thanks for mentioning it, I am adding it to my TBR.

Have you promote your book in any way?"
King~ I know a few authors and it is a tough business. People think some popular authors just got well known overnight. That is rarely the case. Most write and even if can get their books published, get little money or acclaim. Most books that are well received have gotten picked up by a major publishing house. Then the author must do Social Media, Tours, and Shows to Promote the book. It is interesting, learning all that goes into a book, but it’s hard work. There are smaller publishers or some self publish. Books are put on NetGalley or promoted on-line, but hard to get a big following that way. Really admire authors, well I am on Goodreads so imagine most here do.

This isn’t a site for Promotion or Spam. This should not be here.






Lots of people are familiar with Tim Obrien's The Things They Carried, but In The Lake of the Woods is small, disturbing book. A man who has just lost an election and trying to cope and recover in Lake of the Woods Minnesota with his wife. Its a powerhouse story of war, war crimes, truth and lies and the legacy of guilt.
