    "Gwyn's story thrums with life." A stellar review from @PublishersWkly, just in today for @AmericanGwyn's forthcoming novella THE CANNIBAL OWL: publishersweekly.com/9781960215307
    This arresting novella from Gwyn (All God’s Children) chronicles the early life of minor Texas historical figure Levi English. In 1825, eight-year-old Levi’s father is murdered in Arkansas, and he moves in with his aunt and uncle, who then take him to Texas. Levi’s uncle abuses him, causing him to run away and eventually take up residence with a group of Comanche....The narrative shuttles at a dizzying pace through Levi’s search for a proper home amid bloodshed and betrayal, but there’s a hypnotic cadence to the lyrical prose (“The trees they passed were like bones; the wind gasping across the prairie was the breath of bones”). Gwyn’s story thrums with life.

    Not every day you get a mention in @USATODAY. Bonus points for being listed alongside THE @elicranor! Check out the full profile of our favorite local bookstore @BookishFS: usatoday.com/story/entertai…
    What's a book that deserves more hype?

“Ozark Dogs,” by Eli Cranor, a local boy who has a great sense of the people in Arkansas and can write stories that keep you turning the page. 

Belle Point Publishing also deserves highlighting. The local press hit the ground running last year, and this husband/wife super team has already published an anthology that illuminates what it means to live in the MidSouth as well as several poetry books and chapbooks, and they hold virtual and in-person workshops and readings weekly. Belle Point strives to showcase what it means to be somewhere between Southern and Midwestern, and they do it with some of the best writers this region has.
