So here's the story: I've got this friend who has been writing his first novel on and off for several years now. He's been sending me bits and pieces of it for feedback every so often (I even got a mention in his acknowledgments). He actually finished the thing a few weeks ago, and published it on Amazon Kindle.
Now that I've finally gotten to read it cover to cover, it reconfirmed my long-time opinion that he's really quite good. I hope that people will give his book a try.
