Advance readers invited: Dog Water Free by Michael Jay
I’m offering complimentary PDF advance copies of the Updated & Revised Edition of my literary memoir of formation, publishing November 1, 2026, through SJ Thaddeus Press.
Beginning in Catholic boyhood on Detroit’s Westside, the story follows a child’s bargain with God and the meaning he carries into early adulthood—from Detroit to Harvard and finally to a Nantucket pier.
This edition adds “Christmas Morning Wonder,” a true childhood story presented as an Overture, more focused pacing, additional Harvard reflections, and a new Note to Readers.
There is no cost and no obligation to review. Readers who choose to share an honest review are warmly welcome.
