The day has come at last. My debut novel has been released by Shirtsleeve Press. I love the stunning cover I received from the publisher and the first editorial review of the book from author Nathan Lowell:
"Colter has created a world equal parts magical realism, inner journey, and psychological horror. Carlos Castaneda meets Thomas Covenant in a well crafted tale of fear, doubt, and redemption as July Davish pursues his inner demons in order to face them down and break the cycle of anger and frustration that has held his life hostage. Recommended."
-Nathan Lowell, Author of the Tanyth Fairport Adventures and the Solar Clipper Series
Chronologically, this was the second novel I wrote, and the start of my road into contemporary magic realism. The novel is a bit slipstream and arguments could be made for it being alternate world (parts of it, anyway) or perhaps even literary-genre (with themes similar to Jason Gurley's "Eleanor"). An early reviewer mentioned a "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" vibe. My favorite thing about this novel is the characters - July and Val and Pat flowed out onto the pages as if I was transcribing their story more than creating it, and I think they remain some of the most vivid and real characters I've ever written.
I hope you'll hop over to Amazon to check out the full description and maybe get the book. If you do, I'd love to hear what you think!
