This is the cover of the paperback version of NEWS!

NEWS! Out on My Birthday, July 31

My new novel, NEWS!, will be released by publisher Propertius Press on my birthday in a few weeks and I'm excited. 

The novel is based loosely on my coming of age in the newsroom of a mid-sized daily newspaper in a small Southern city (Asheville). It is set in 1969, a time when journalism and the world in general were experiencing dramatic change. NEWS! is a fast read, full of historical events (changed for the sake of the novel) and everyday coverage that a young reporter experienced at that time.

It iwill give you a good idea what journalism was at this crucial juncture.

This is the ebook cover of NEWS!

I give you the two covers for the paperback and ebook version here because I think each is striking and it took a while to come up with the look we wanted.
