Naynay | 5 comments I nominate First Night of Summer by Landon Parham
In a world where every second person is a self-proclaimed writer, myself included, it's easy to forget what makes a debut author stand out among all the other newly published books. It is because they have distinct talent and are good. Let me rephrase that, they are damn good and it sets them apart from the rest of the newbies. Landon Parham is a case at point. While this book may appear to be your run-of-the-mill thriller at first glance, it thoroughly disabuses you of that notion within just a few chapters. He moves the plot forward through a mixture of point-of-views, leaving you hanging on every last sentence waiting to see what will happen next. First Night of Summer is a sad, haunting tale about an ex military man, Isaac Snow and how he must find a way to protect what is left of his family before he loses everything to a dark and demented evil. Some violent parts can be difficult to read, but you will not be able to put it down. It is a fast-paced read with a strong plot driven story.

Kindle, Nook, and ibook on sale for only 99 cents for a limited time.. I "liked" his Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Landon..., and he is one of my new favorites. I can't wait to read his next! #1 NYT bestseller, Sandra Brown picked his debut book, First Night of Summer as her recommended read this year!

Jan Greene (jankg) | 81 comments Hi all,
Is this group still active? I am a new member and just learning my way around Goodreads. I am also a new author. If I can be so bold, I would like to nominate my novel I Call Myself Earth Girl as a group read. It is contemporary fiction with a supernatural twist. You can see a few reviews if you type in the title.
Thanks for considering my book!
Here's a link to a video trailer about the book:

Peace!
Jan

Hi, thanks for this post. I am going to get it on my Kindle today! I'll let you know what I think of it. Sound like a book my husband may like too.
