Michael A. FitzGerald is the author of Radiant Days .

TyCobbsTeeth TyCobbsTeeth Hi Michael, thanks for the GR friendship. I look forward to any back and forth book banter.
Cheers!

Jen Knox Thank you for adding MC to your list. Authors with small publishers sometimes feel like we're begging to be read, just once (I promise you'll like it, just try it....)
Anyway, I am truly looking forward to reading Radiant Days. It seems the sort of book I tend to rally for and never read enough of--one reflecting the grit of life.

Jeannie Faulkner Barber Hi Michael and thanks for the add! What an awesome pix you have! Happy Thanksgiving, too.
Blessings,

Edan Wait, is Radiant Days a paperback original? All this time, I was waiting for the paperback to come out...


Jeremy Thanks for the friendship, and for the interest in my novel. If you end up checking it out, I hope you enjoy it. And I'd love to hear what you think.

If you don't mind sharing--I'm curious, what's your favorite novel of all time (if you have one)?

Here’s wishing you a fantastic day filled with fabulous fates, fanciful festivities, and frolicking phantom footstools.

-Jeremy :)

Kevin Michael,
I like your choices. We have many similarities. I'll have to check out your book.

Daniel Hey Michael! I'm not gonna read many books anymore. Why should I? Your reviews are so good that from now on I'll just read your reviews.

Michael Two new reviews of Radiant Days came out this week.

Jason Pettus over at the Chicago Center for Literature and Photography says the book is "subversively funny" and "infinitely sad".
Full Review:

And a feature on this month's Hipster Book Club.
"Radiant Days is a brilliant, archly funny, and painfully accurate book..."

Simon A. Smith Hello, Michael. Thanks for the add and thanks for the words of encouragement. Hope your book is doing well. I'll have to check it out soon.

Jonathan Yes, that's the Boise library. To my knowledge, they are the only city in the country that is so excited about having a library that they need an exclamation point.

Thanks for the add.
