This novel is an essay on human interaction when people are thrown together and forced to work toward a common goal, although they have little in common and would likely not (of their own volition) ever choose to be connected to each other. It’s the story of struggle and the measure of success.

Queensboro is the follow-up novel to Crow Creek.  The story follows the search for a missing girl and ends with a biological experiment gone wrong.

How did you come to self-publish? Did you try to get published traditionally?  
Since I self-published Crow Creek, I figured I’d do the same with my second book.  I queried a couple of publishers and a few agents this time around.  I didn’t pitch the complete novel until after I had already self-published.

What self-publishing service did you use? Happy with the […]
