Austin Translation by first time author Zach Selwyn shows off his literary talent in this witty & observant murder mystery involving a Gen X hero Rob Stoner, a former musician turned family man & true-crime podcaster whose love of tacos, red wine & justice permeates throughout this lean & mean whodunit set in the heart of Austin, Texas.

With his sharp dialogue and fully realized characters big and small Zach Selwyn's story shines so take the time to read how Rob Stoner saves his marriage, his career and stays out of jail while discovering Texas has a wine country!

Can’t wait to read what's next from Zach

[Phil Cable · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fast read and a really fun time, with great characterization and a bunch of laugh-out-loud moments.

Although this is Selwyn's first novel, his talent and experience as a prolific short story writer come through and make for a very enjoyable story.
