C.I. DeMann lives in Portland, Oregon, and spends far too much time thinking about sports, music, time travel, and doughnuts.

Best of 2025

My latest novel, "Text Chain," made it onto someone's Best Books of 2025 list. So I've got that going for me. Which is nice. https://donnacummingsbooks.com/blog/s...

Liked it, didn't love it. Enjoyed the realistic setting, liked learning a bit about history, and kinda got to like the characters, but on the whole, something was lacking. It didn't really feel like a standalone book, with a beginning, middle, and en ...more

Sheffield's a fascinating writer. He's a music nerd and always has been, so when he writes what is basically the story of his teens and twenties, he can't help but throw a huge amount of music into it. This book is neither a music book nor a memoir, ...more
