I'm excited about this year's (2016) new releases. Learning, skill and soul have been put into them and dared publication, which has encouraged me to hunker down—dig into my own work. Some stories are cemented in a genre, while others defy genre classification. Regardless, these new releases by new and seasoned authors reflect our era. They are bold, interrogating how language works. I’ve added a number to my Goodreads list.
