Backseat just received an Honorable Mention for best book in General Fiction at the Pacific Rim Book Festival. Working on my next book titled "Child of the Dust".

I entered the contest. Did not win but was pleased with the judge's feedback. "This coming-of-age novel had much to recommend it. First, Backseat is a great title. The hero is a likeable character readers can relate to; the supporting characters are well-drawn. The voice is strong, and the premise is engaging. The author writes about young men with a conficdence born of experience and insight. The diaglogue rings true, as the interaction of the characters. The road trip plot is well-paced and there is a fun twist at the end...."
