Watershed
Jon Wandel is one of America's greatest living poets. Professor Travis Fant is a struggling writer who is determined to become relevant by his thirty-fifth birthday-- or else abandon the craft altogether. When the reclusive Wandel emerges from a self-inflicted exile and arrives in Fant's hometown, a golden and gloriously sinful opportunity arises, bringing with it a decision that will impact much more than the fate of Fant's career.

Every so often and nowhere near as often as I’d like, especially lately, I find a kindle freebie worth reading. It’s tough to do, actually. The authors are frequently unknown, the reviews aren’t always available or reliable, etc. Most of the time freebies tend to be genre specific, thrillers and such, more often than not a first in series. Anyway…it’s a crapshoot at best, so imagine my surprise when I found Mitch Sebourn and his novellas, genuine quality literature. So I read four, back to back.
First one, Watershed, was actually the most underwhelming. Maybe that’s why I’m the first person to actually be reviewing it on GR. A very quiet story about a struggling writer, a famous poet and a janitor whose lives intersect in a small town. All of Sebourn’s stories are small town stories, places like Arkansas, which to his credit he makes somehow appealing. At any rate, this story showcased the author’s writing talents nicely enough, especially his character writing for which he definitely has a knack, but overall was too sleepy to wow. I’m glad I went on reading more of the author’s work, because it was all on a steady elevation track from here.
So on to the next one…
