A package from Red Hen Press

Published Jul 29 2008, 04:35 PM by Sharon Steel

I met with Red Hen Press managing editor Kate Gale a few weeks ago, at the tail end of her stint speaking to Stonecoast MFA students here in Maine. We talked about the state of independent publishing, taking risks on books (and authors), and a shared love of Anne Carson (my appreciation is thanks to Nina, who happened to review a Red Hen book last month).

This afternoon, I received a delicious-looking package from Red Hen, chock full of books whose spines I can't wait to crack. Among them, there's Ludlow, by David Mason, a novel-in-verse about the Ludlow Massacre of 1914; View from A Burning Bridge, a novel by Sarah Goodyear that takes place in Maine; and Motel Girl, by Greg Sanders, a book of bizarre short stories.

Like Christmas!

Need publicity help with a new novel. It's Clark Rockefeller as "James A. Carr" reincarnated, in which a young woman gets knocked up by a con man, then gets even, pulling the mask off his Enron-like swindle, his conservatism and religion. Based on a true story, and a rock 'em, sock 'em page-turning read.

Must read: SCAMMING GOD,a beach book with bite. A short, intense and very simple romance, in which a vulnerable heroine hooks up with a charismatic career criminal. Every time she gets knocked down--emotionally or physically--she comes clawing back. Twice as strong. Four times as furious. Although it doesn't start here, most of its action is based in Boston, and is based on a true, but mind-boggling masquerade.
