Kirkus!

Next week Kirkus will publish a fantastic review of The Garden of Blue Roses. I'm still pinching myself. After everything I went through to get this book into the world--after giving up multiple times and being rejected more times and in more ways than I care to remember--part of me still doesn't quite believe it.

I'll post an excerpt of the review here once it's live on Kirkus. Stay tuned!

Gary Inbinder Thanks, Michael. I look forward to reading your new book, too. A novel that's compared to Shirley Jackson, Poe, Camus and Henry James can't miss! ;)
