David’s review of Shards > Likes and Comments

Thanks so much for leaving a review of my book, David. I'm pleased you enjoyed the story and its authenticity. Coming from an ex-Moabite, it means a lot to me. I've lived in the UK all my life, but I've been visiting southern Utah every year (bar COVID!) for three decades. I know those highways, streets, dirt roads and trails, Restaurants, too. Pasta Jays was always one of our favourites so the chances are we've met at some point. I hope I tipped well!
I'm currently writing a sequel to a book called Hacking George (published under my real name Bob Palmer). George Goes Rogue is also broadly set in southeast Utah. See! I can't keep away even when I'm at home.

I loved the book so much, even after reading for free on NetGalley, I just ordered myself a copy and one to give to a friend! I know a few of the polygamist who still live out at the commune! They had a reality tv series at one point. I’ll be sure to read Jacking George soon.

Thank you. What an amazing coincidence you have a personal connection to the people who inspired the setting of Shards. We visited them back in the late 90s when the community was in its infancy. I remember the series, too. Fascinating. FYI, Hacking George is set in the UK. It's the sequel that's set in the southwest. Just managing expectations ;)
